 * Hi,
    I just wanted to see if there was a setting that I was missing. My wiki 
   pages are popping up with a whole column width of white on the left– it seems
   like a place holder for an extra side bar. I am using the 2016 theme and haven’t
   made a child theme yet– I have just made a few tweaks on the custom css file.
   Do you have any advice? Thanks! Rose

 * Hi rosemyriah,
 * The “article” area is set to float right and have a width of 71%. I think the
   theme design is to have the author box to the left of the content, but that doesn’t
   show on the wiki page.
 * I tried out some styling changes which works for the wiki pages, but might not
   work for your regular posts. Anyway, if you go to the Customizer, Additional 
   CSS area, you can try this out. If it doesn’t work you can just delete it from
   the same place:
 *     ```
       body:not(.search-results) article:not(.type-page) .entry-content {
       		float: left; 
       		width: 95%;
       }
   
       body:not(.search-results) article:not(.type-page) .entry-content > blockquote {
       		margin-left: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * If that messes up you posts then the normal solution is create a template for
   the custom post type (wiki). Are you using a child theme? If so, here is something
   you can use as a starting point. You would unzip it and put the file in your 
   child theme folder: [https://cl.ly/1U3O0o422h0b](https://cl.ly/1U3O0o422h0b)
 * I took the single.php file from the theme, copied it to single-yada_wiki.php 
   and pasted in the contents of the include file (content-single.php). Basically,
   what this codex article talks about: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates)
 * Twenty Sixteen is really nice for the contrast and easy readability.
 * Please let me know if you need more help.
 * Best regards,
 * David
