 * Since I publish bilingual quotes side by side, the line length is too short. 
   I want to stay with this theme, but as a beginner I can’t find a solution to 
   increase Content Width.
 *  // Set content-width
    global $content_width; $content_width = 560;
 * When I change this value in functions.php, nothing happens. Can anyone tell me
   where I can change the width of the single posts please.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincrease-content-width-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I can’t do this for you right now, but the way to figure it out is to open your
   browser web inspector and highlight the element you are interested in. Then look
   at the css cascade of all it’s parent elements. Set/override the width on any
   and all elements that have it defined.
