# Fixing Page Width Issue

 * I am experiencing a dilemma with the Edublogs Default Theme that we are using
   for our website. Currently, the site layout is set to three columns. What I am
   trying to do is to stretch the content across the entire page width, but when
   I go to “Theme Options” and change the “3 column option” to “One-column, no sidebar,”
   this significantly reduces the width of the page, making it too narrow to accommodate
   the navigation links across the top in a single row. 
   Can someone please provide
   a suggested solution to stretch the content across the entire width of the page,
   without reducing the current width?

 * The theme you are using doesn’t seem to be available for free download, also 
   it seems to be very old. I would recommend you to contact the support of the 
   theme :[https://help.edublogs.org](https://help.edublogs.org)

 * I happen to be familiar with the **Edublogs platform** and the **Edublogs Default
   theme** (I use the platform to teach WordPress locally), so I’m happy to help
   with this here.
 * You’ll need to use **custom CSS** to achieve the layout you want. Custom CSS 
   is an Edublogs PRO feature, but as you’re using a custom domain, you must be 
   a PRO user already.
 * 1) If you don’t have it installed already, install and activate the **Custom 
   CSS** plugin from your dashboard. Again, you must be a PRO user to install this.
 * 2) Configure your Edublogs Default theme to use the **“One-column, no sidebar”**
   layout.
 * 3) Add the following custom CSS (APPEARANCE => CUSTOM CSS):
 *     ```
       .one-column #page {
           max-width: 1000px;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should be all.
 * > .. also it seems to be very old.
 * Yeah, everything on Edublogs is pretty old. This is a highly restricted multisite
   hosted environment — going way back to the early WPMU days (hence the name of
   their sister hosting platform, WPMUDev), with only a curated set of themes and
   plugins available. So users don’t have access to the latest and greatest themes
   and plugins from the full WordPress.org catalogue.

 * George [@gappiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) , thanks a lot
   for your suggestion. I have added this CSS code. I see some progress here with
   respect to the width of the pages on the [site](https://intlfire.org/). However,
   the text content does not seem to be stretching all the way across to the right.
   Do you know how to fix that?

 * For some reason, I’m seeing some additional CSS on your site (that I don’t see
   on my test site) that’s causing the content area to not expand to full width.
 * Please add the following CSS (in addition to the earlier one) to fix this. If
   the margins (white spaces) on the left and right are too much for you, reduce
   the figure `7.6%`.
 *     ```
       .one-column #content {
           margin: 0 7.6% !important;
       }
       ```
