 * My website has fixed width of 1280px.
    Due to this even header and footer are
   fixed to size of 1280px. I want to make both header and footer of my site to 
   fit the width of the screen. When i try to add css width 100% or auto nothing
   happens. Is there any way i could increase width of the header and footer of 
   my sites to fit the screens and keep content width to 1280px only?

 * Try setting .inner-wrap width to auto.

 * Desimedicos.com is my site.
    Inner wrap auto doesn’t work.

 * At the moment all of the content of your page (including the header, main content
   and footer) are in the “inner-wrap” div, which as you see has a set width of 
   1280px.
 * To make the header and footer expand full width you’ll need to move the header
   and footer out of this div. It will then automatically expand to [100% width](http://s17.postimg.org/u9j3f4jy7/Capture.jpg).
 * I’d recommend creating a child theme if you haven’t already done so.
