 * If the theme supports then you can set the relevant page template (Look for it
   on right hand side)
 * Else you need to work on your own CSS rules. If you have a live site show it 
   here then people would be able to help you out.

 * Don’t ever do that, you’ll lose those changes when the theme is updated. Instead
   consider [creating and activating a child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or [using a custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+CSS).

 * Thank you for your replies, But there are so many #content, #primary, #secondary
   that I do not know what to change…
 * I tried to change the px of all max-width but nothing changes on the site.
 * There are also 2 style files : Stylesheet and RTL Stylesheet

 * The best thing to do is use your browsers development tool to find out exactly
   what you want to change.
 * The rtl stylesheet is for right-to-left languages.

 * I dont understand when I change all max-width to 1240 in the css file and I go
   on the website I check on the development tool and it is still 800px then I try
   with another amount but I still see 800px on the website.
 * I have tried to clear my cache on my computer and on wordpress, to refresh the
   page ect… but it does not change anything…

 * Hi,
 * Yes, why every time I make a change in the css I need to modify the WordPress
   Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in general settings to see the modifications?
