I am in the process of creating a website using the stow theme. I am creating a forum within the site using bbpress, inserting it into a shortcode block. I am unable however, to expand the block to full width screen, so the forum comes up with columns either side, and small text. I have tried using some CSS suggested on other help sites, but this doesnt seem to work (and it is a bit above my head being honest!). Am I missing anything really simple? Thanks for any help.

Can you share a screenshot of what you’d like to correct?

First things first: what is the URL of your site as we can only help with sites running on the wordpress.com platform.

Hi @thegirderclub,

Looking at that link, you should be able to adjust the page width using the following CSS:
```
@media only screen and (min-width: 782px) {
    .entry-content > *:not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.wp-block-separator):not(.wp-block-button):not(.entry-attachment) {
            max-width: 80vw;}
}
```
You can change the 80vw to a value that suits your needs. For example, 100vw if the full-width of the browser.

Please keep in mind, we can only provide limited support for third-party plugins, so I suggest reviewing its documentation and reaching out to the authors for support. You can learn more about that here: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/third-party-plugins-and-themes-support/

I found this link for you: https://bbpress.org/forums/

Hope that helps!

Amazing, I have been trying for almost a week to get that sorted and it worked straight away, thank you. Sorry to ask another question, but is there a way to increase the text size? Thanks again

Glad to help! While it would be possible to change the font sizes with CSS, I suggest trying a third-party fonts plugin for more granular control. Here are a couple worth considering:

* https://wordpress.org/plugins/olympus-google-fonts/
* https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/
