  OK, I’m pretty new at this, so bear with me.

  I’ve set up a new site using the Edin theme at https://gingerboysteve.wordpress.com/ and used ‘Front Page’ for the Page Template of the front page. This is primarily because I’d like to display some formatted text as three bullet points over the featured image (no other page template seems to allow this).

  However, having chosen ‘Front Page’ it also dictates that I have to have three columns with widgets (Front Page One, Two & Three). I only need to use one widget to display some welcome text, but I would like this text to be the width of the whole page not just the first column.

  Is there a way I can do this? I know that a using ‘Full Width Page’ as my Page Template would achieve it, but then I’d lose my formatted, three bullet point text over the featured image! I’ve searched and searched for various CSS codes but to no avail. Help!

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

  Sussed it!

  For anyone else struggling with the same issue, here’s the CSS:

  /*make column widget full page width*/
  .front-page-widget {
  width: 100%;
  text-align: justify;
  }

  I also made the formatting of my text justified (rather than left aligned).
