 * Hi there! Can you help me remove the sidebar on single posts so that the main
   content takes up the full width of the blog? (Full width of JUST the blog, not
   spanning accross the entire screen, but fitting centered under my menu and logo).
 * I figured out how to remove my about me widget on each post using Display Widget
   plugin, which worked perfectly, except now there’s just a blank side bar and 
   my main content for my post is still aligned to the right. I want to get rid 
   of that sidebar altogether!
    Thank you!

 * Hello!
 * Try adding this
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px) {
       	.single-post #site-content > .row > .col-md-4 {
       		display:none;
       	}
       	.single-post #site-content > .row > .col-md-8 {
       		margin-left: 16.66666667%;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * In the “Additional CSS” box under Customize. That should do the trick.

 * Do you know how to make it wider though? It removed the side part but is it possible
   to make the overall text portion a bit wider?

 * Hi there [@americanfille](https://wordpress.org/support/users/americanfille/)
   
   you can replace this previous css rules with
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px) {
           .single-post #site-content > .row > .col-md-4 {
               display: none;
           }
          .single-post #site-content > .row > .col-md-8 {
               width: 90%;
               margin: auto;
               float: none;
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * You will notice that your featured image size in your single post stays the same
   though.
    If you are using a featured image you will need to open functions.php
   and change `set_post_thumbnail_size( 665, 435, true );` 665 value to a larger
   one (1120 for instance). Then install the Regenerate thumbnails plugin, activate
   it and go to Tools -> Regen. Thumbnails to run a regeneration in order for the
   change to be applied.
