Title: How to implement Full Width Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # How to implement Full Width * Resolved [JohnSkliros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnskliros/) * (@johnskliros) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/) * Hello, I have looked at the developer’s documentation and I am nowhere closer to getting Aesop to operate in Full Width. I’m using a third party theme called Longform that’s supposed to be compatible (everything seems to work) but I can’t get Full Width operational. Please provide a step-by-step example of how to do it. * *************** * Notes: It doesn’t appear to be possible to search within the Aesop topics. How does one REGISTER on the Aesop site? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/aesop-story-engine/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/aesop-story-engine/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537849) * What components are not working at full width? * This sounds like it could be a theme problem. * Thread Starter [JohnSkliros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnskliros/) * (@johnskliros) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537855) * Hello Michael, thanks so much for your response. I created a brand new sub-domain and a fresh install of WordPress, the Longform (child) theme and Aesop story engine. I’ve tried it with pages and posts and I cannot get an image to go full width. Please take a look at this and let me know if it’s usable/fixable. If not, is there a free theme you know of that simply works with Aesop? I’m just doing a little one-page photo-blog for a friend who is going to be visiting soon and because the concept is so awesome, I would really like to try out Aesop.

That’s something that is deleted when found. * You can work with Michael here to sort it out. Try the following temporary steps to troubleshoot: - Switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme - Deactivate all of your plugins except the Aesop Story Engine - Clear your browser’s cache and cookies - Re-login and try and operate in full width * Do you still get the problem when you do that? * Thread Starter [JohnSkliros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnskliros/) * (@johnskliros) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537857) * Hello Jan, thanks for the response. * I did as instructed and didn’t get anywhere: the image remained cramped up in the content section. So I removed the sidebar (removed widgets and installed Jetpack to get access to a CSS editor) but no luck with that either. The actual image is 1950 pixels wide and the image width in Aesop is set to 100% but look at the image info: 1,952px × 834px (scaled to 935px × 400px) Please take a look– I’m now trying a new static front page (Home2). Your efforts are much appreciated 🙂 * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537860) * Hey [@johnskliros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnskliros/), * We do have our own theme that is available for download that works well with Aesop Story Engine here: [https://github.com/AesopInteractive/aesop-story-theme/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/AesopInteractive/aesop-story-theme/archive/master.zip). * If you are set on using Twenty Fifteen, you will need to do some customizations to the CSS and PHP, by making a child theme. You can follow the instructions here: [http://aesopstoryengine.com/developers](http://aesopstoryengine.com/developers). There is also a great tutorial on how to implement this over on WooThemes: [http://www.woothemes.com/2015/01/write-stories-instead-of-code-five-steps-to-storytelling-with-canvas](http://www.woothemes.com/2015/01/write-stories-instead-of-code-five-steps-to-storytelling-with-canvas). You would need to identify the corresponding elements and replace them in the code that we present. * Thread Starter [JohnSkliros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnskliros/) * (@johnskliros) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537862) * Hello Michael, thanks for the response, it’s much appreciated. Sadly, it doesn’t look good – same issues in Firefox or Chrome. Here’s the long story: * Tried to use the template you provided but all sorts of things went wrong.So I started all fresh again and documented it. * Created another new sub-domain: aesop2.twocrocs.com Installed WordPress Same user Same password No plugins other than Aesop active Installed your Aesop theme Deleted Post “Hello World” Deleted Sample Page Set up page “Home”: Template “ Page” Set front page to Static page “Home” No other pages or posts Uploaded an image Added Image Component Width 100%; alignment centre Up to this point it all worked well. Added Quote component Width 800px; Align center; quote size 6 Quote box overlaid Image box. So went to text mode then back to visual mode. Quote box has now become an “Image box” without any controls. Went back to text mode and most of the code has vanished. * (This is pretty much what happened first time around and much the same thing happened when I tried to insert Content component.) * Changed page template to Default Template and inserted Content component. WP Page edit box frozen at the end of the text content of the Content component. Updated Page. Content component has vanished. Template has somehow changed back to “Page” * So I gave up for now. * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537884) * Hey there John, * The ASE components work best on posts. Can you try on a post? * Plugin Author [Michael Beil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelbeil/) * (@michaelbeil) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-implement-full-width/#post-6537905) * We have not heard back from you yet.
