  I am using the Eighties theme, and I would like to make the width of the posts a bit wider. Here are two blogs to show what I’m wanting:

  Go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and paste the following code into the text area to preview it, if you like the changes just click “Save”:

  .js .hentry > [class^="entry-"] {
    max-width:960px;
  }

  I just noticed that the gallery posts are a little wonky, with the photos and text cut off on the right side. Any suggestions?

  On the same screen as I mentioned earlier just below the main text area for your CSS code there is a box labelled “Display width”, if you add the new width in there it should (hopefully and depending on the theme) mean all the auto-sized content in your posts and pages will be updated to match your new custom width.

  If it doesn’t work let me know and I’ll look to see if there’s a CSS solution – I have a feeling it will be tricky with a gallery though!
