# Page Template Content Width

 * My website is not live so I don’t have a link.
 * Is there a way to change the width of the Page Template so instead of being full-
   width, there is a column of whitespace on the left?
 * With the full-width template, the paragraphs of text are very wide and difficult
   to read on desktop. This is for my About page. I have a small headshot image 
   aligned to the left of the text but the text is still very wide.
 * Thanks so much.

 * Hi there,
 * Does this sample page from the demo site also show the width issue you are hoping
   to address? [https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/](https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/)
 * If so, in my tests this code made page text narrower, with more whitespace on
   the left than the right.
 * [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/) screen and (min-width: 740px){
   .
   page .page { padding: 50px 10% 50px 20%; } }
 * You are welcome to edit those figures a bit if you wish. 10% is the padding on
   the right, and 20% is the padding on the left. But you could easily change those
   to make the whitespace on the left wider or narrower than what I used in my code.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi Jerry,
 * Thanks for getting back to me. No, this demo page [https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/is](https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/is)
   not showing the same “full-width” issue that I saw. I haven’t touched any of 
   my PHP pages, only the “Additional CSS” so I temporarily removed my that code
   and lo and behold, the missing left-hand whitespace reappeared. Problem solved!
 * However, one thing that still puzzles me is I only have one widget area i.e. 
   the footer. Should there be a sidebar widget area?
 * Thanks so much for your help.

 * This is how that theme is designed. It only allows widgets in the footer. THat’s
   something you can’t change unless you fiddle with the theme’s files which we 
   don’t recommend and it’s something we cannot provide support for.
