At best, they will lose all of their changes when they update the theme. At worst, they could bring their site down. They should be recommended to create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or use a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css) for their changes. * Thread Starter [tsaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsaong/) * (@tsaong) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003097) * Thank you Spyro but It didn’t work all the block are moved !! * [Sultan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultan_semmaiyahoocom/) * (@sultan_semmaiyahoocom) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003103) * give me your link please * Thread Starter [tsaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsaong/) * (@tsaong) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003108) * here’s the link flyerforu.com * Thread Starter [tsaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsaong/) * (@tsaong) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003109) * thank you for your help * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003113) * I’m sorry but as you appear to be using a non-WPORG theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s developers – paid or otherwise. We only support themes downloaded from wordpress.org here. Try [http://yithemes.com](http://yithemes.com) * Thread Starter [tsaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsaong/) * (@tsaong) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003114) * That’s what i’ve done first, and they told me to ask here ! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003120) * We do not have access to, nor do we support, commercial themes as you paid for support when you bought the theme. It is not our place to keep theme vendors in business or deprive them of any income that they may derive from support services. * [Sultan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultan_semmaiyahoocom/) * (@sultan_semmaiyahoocom) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003155) * you cant decrease the width of your container * because then you need to changes a lot of css. * all the box inside your container effected. * [Sultan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultan_semmaiyahoocom/) * (@sultan_semmaiyahoocom) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003165) * You need to change your span1 upto span12 classes as well if you want to change your container so my suggestion is leave it as it is. or hire some one fro it to do it for you if you not have knowledge about css. * Thread Starter [tsaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsaong/) * (@tsaong) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/container-width-3/#post-5003178) * I might find a way, thank you very much Spyro for your help. you right i need to change the entire Span collection details!!!
