I’m using the Papatya theme: [http://newwpthemes.com/wordpress-theme/papatya/](http://newwpthemes.com/wordpress-theme/papatya/) * I’d like to widen the main post content area (the area where my articles are placed). * I’ve tried editing here and there in the CSS, but I don’t get any real results 🙁 * The CSS file: [http://pastebin.com/CZRUGN9Z](http://pastebin.com/CZRUGN9Z) * Thank you so much in advance!

The width of the main content area and sidebar are controlled by `class=16` and `class=8 last` respectively. There is a second stylesheet called screen.css (at least in their demo site) that determines the width of those elements. * Understand that if you change things in the stylesheets it can really mess up how things work as Blueprint is a grid framework. * However, if you do want to change the width you can go to your template pages and change the class. Remember always make a back-up first. For example (again going off the demo site), this is for the the two divs below `
`, if you change `
` to `
` and `
` to `
` this will increase your main posts width and decrease the sidebar. Play around a bit, just make sure to always have a back-up of your files. * Thread Starter [whooper90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooper90/) * (@whooper90) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widen-posts/#post-2294968) * ahh thanks 🙂 Will take a look at it!
