Hello @drsreekarh,

While you could do this (below) there is an offset added by a div with no class to modify it to the left.
```
.entry-content {
    width: 1024px !important;
}
```
You might want to post this in the Silvio Forum > https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/silvio

The author might be able to give a more elegant solution than this!

@solybarr’s solution is good! It’s a very simple workaround.

If you would like to get your content closer to full width you can actually manipulate those div’s that @solybarr was talking about but it’s a fairly complex process. The code I used is below. Basically what I did was nullify the effects of the column classes and adjust the padding/margins in the container and row classes so that I can shift the contents of the entire page using left padding percentage in the all columns entry.

.container {
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  width: 100%; }

.row {
  margin: 0 0 0 0; }

.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1, .col-lg-1, .col-xs-2, .col-sm-2, .col-md-2, .col-lg-2, .col-xs-3, .col-sm-3, .col-md-3, .col-lg-3, .col-xs-4, .col-sm-4, .col-md-4, .col-lg-4, .col-xs-5, .col-sm-5, .col-md-5, .col-lg-5, .col-xs-6, .col-sm-6, .col-md-6, .col-lg-6, .col-xs-7, .col-sm-7, .col-md-7, .col-lg-7, .col-xs-8, .col-sm-8, .col-md-8, .col-lg-8, .col-xs-9, .col-sm-9, .col-md-9, .col-lg-9, .col-xs-10, .col-sm-10, .col-md-10, .col-lg-10, .col-xs-11, .col-sm-11, .col-md-11, .col-lg-11, .col-xs-12, .col-sm-12, .col-md-12, .col-lg-12 {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 1px;
  padding: 0 0 0 2%;  /* This now shifts all content */
}

Thanks so much @lastfarthing,

It is indeed complex! The reason I didn’t mention that is it might affect the rest of the site and then madness ensues.

@drsreekarh if you go ahead and make changes to the “cols” take a minute to navigate through the site and see if other things have shifted, then keep making changes. That way you have some control of what’s going on.

Best regards!

@solybarr

madness ensues

Isn’t that the truth?

One more change @drsreekarh. Since you’re using a blog based layout instead of a pages based layout, you’ll want to remove the min-height: 1px; from your all columns section to make your blog format correctly. I don’t know why that works and the world may never know but that section would look like this:

.col-xs-1, .col-sm-1, .col-md-1, .col-lg-1, .col-xs-2, .col-sm-2, .col-md-2, .col-lg-2, .col-xs-3, .col-sm-3, .col-md-3, .col-lg-3, .col-xs-4, .col-sm-4, .col-md-4, .col-lg-4, .col-xs-5, .col-sm-5, .col-md-5, .col-lg-5, .col-xs-6, .col-sm-6, .col-md-6, .col-lg-6, .col-xs-7, .col-sm-7, .col-md-7, .col-lg-7, .col-xs-8, .col-sm-8, .col-md-8, .col-lg-8, .col-xs-9, .col-sm-9, .col-md-9, .col-lg-9, .col-xs-10, .col-sm-10, .col-md-10, .col-lg-10, .col-xs-11, .col-sm-11, .col-md-11, .col-lg-11, .col-xs-12, .col-sm-12, .col-md-12, .col-lg-12 {
  position: relative;
  padding: 0 0 0 2%;  /* This now shifts all content */ }

Tried this
.single .hentry > .container {
width: 100% !important;
}
.single .hentry > .container > .row > .col-xs-12 {
width: 100% !important;
}
.single .hentry .entry-content {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 800px;
}

Deleted the ‘auto’ and increased the 800px to 1000. Works a charm. On mobiles as well
