 * Hello,
    I would like to know if it is possible to make the width of the Classic
   Editor the same width as the theme.
 * As you can see in the [image I attached](https://postimg.cc/XBdgjVLw), now the
   Classic Editor is at full width and I would like to make it the same width as
   the theme.
 * Thank you for your attention.

 * Hi!
 * I don’t think I’ve ever seen the classic editor not being full width – have you?
   I don’t think I have a solution for what you want. Different screens will show
   different width for the editor.
 * The only option I have in the theme is:
    Customize > Theme Options > Styling 
   > Content Max-width
 * But that does not affect the classic editor, but the theme’s content width.
 * Other than resizing your own browser window when editing, I don’t have a solution.

 * The image that I attached before (the editor with the theme’s width) refers to
   one of my blogs with a theme that imposes the width to the editor.
 * Some themes (like Chaplin, Twenty Twenty, Twenty Sixteen and more, for example)
   do it.
 * For this reason I asked, because I know it is possible to do it.
 * Thanks the same for your availability.

 * I found the solution myself 😎.
 * Just create an editor-style.css file with the code:
 *     ```
       body {
       	max-width: 740px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and add a string to the functions.php file:
 * `add_editor_style( array( 'editor-style.css' ) );`
 * I share the solution for all interested people.

 * [@saraneve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saraneve/) Awesome tip. I followed
   your instructions but did not work for me. To be clear, i upload the editor-style.
   css file to my theme child directory right? And it’s when we’re “editing” a page
   that we want to see the page width match the theme right? (your screenshot link
   no longer works)>
