How do I make the still Life, nature and landscape pages wide like the architecture portfolio page?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Go to Edit Page screen for the respective page.

In the Page Attributes panel to the right, change the Template to Portfolio Page Template. If there is no Page Attributes panel, enable it from Screen Options at the upper right corner of the screen.

Click the big blue Update button.

Here is more info on page template: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#template

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Setting those three pages to the portfolio template isn’t going to do the trick in this case, since that particular template automatically displays all the site’s portfolio projects, but the Still Life, Nature, and Landscape pages just display a regular image gallery.

You’d need to add some custom CSS to widen out those three pages, like this, replacing 1000 with whatever width you prefer:
```
.hentry.page {
    max-width: 1000px;
}
```
… to apply to all pages, or this to apply to just those three pages:
```
.page-id-304 .hentry.page, .page-id-296 .hentry.page, .page-id-293 .hentry.page {
  max-width: 1000px;
}
```
Now because you have galleries on those pages, you’ll probably want to widen those up as well, by increasing the Media Width value in the box just below the CSS editor. Keep in mind that this will affect all pages and posts.

@kathrynwp – would it be possible to create such portfolio display pages by using a Custom menu and Portfolio Project Types? (Just thinking out loud-haven’t tried it yet.)

Ah! Thanks @Kathrynwp.

On a closer look, I realize those are portfolios on my test blog. I incorrectly assumed they are my featured images on posts and did not bother to move my mouse on the images on my blogs page.

Yes, that could definitely be another way of displaying images, but then those projects would also appear on the current Architecture page, which uses the Portfolio template, so that would also have to be modified as well.

Another way to display projects by type or tag would be to use the portfolio shortcode with the type or tag attribute.

All those methods would still require the custom CSS change to widen out the page layout.
