 * Hi,
    I have a problem with tile width, I mean the whole grid size.
 * It is slightly larger than the container div (wordpress entry-content div). In
   fact its size is set to 920px, but if I sum up the tiles width together I get
   950 px.
 * How can I force the group of tiles to the right width?
 * (You can delete my previous thread, I made a mistake)

 * Hi [@airali](https://wordpress.org/support/users/airali/),
 * WP Tiles should always expand to the first parent element that has an explicit`
   position`. Check if your `entry-content` div has `position: relative` or another
   value for position. If not, try setting it in Web Inspector / Firebug and resize
   your window to see if WP Tiles is drawn at the right width then.
 * If that doesn’t work, can you send a link to the website in question, then I’ll
   have a look.
 * Cheers,
    Mike

 * Hi Mike,
    thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I cannot send you the link 
   as my client has not allowed me to publish the website yet. However, I uploaded
   a screenshot here: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10058559/wp-tiles-error.png](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10058559/wp-tiles-error.png)
 * The selected element in firebug is wp-tiles-container and yes, it has a position:
   relative. As you can see in the picture, photos seem to ignore the element width.
 * I noticed that it only happens when I set a padding between tiles.
    I remember
   that, while searching the web for a solution, I found a topic by someone who 
   had reported a similar issue, so probably padding is the key.

 * Hi airali,
 * I remember that topic.. that never got a resolution unfortunately. What is the`
   position` property for the container that is the parent of `.wp-tiles-container`?
 * I have never seen this problem happen myself, so I’m just speculating now. Can
   you think of any way in which I can reproduce this? Are you using a theme I can
   get my hands on? Let me know!
 * Mike
