page has become narrow
-
The layout of my website has seemingly changed from filling the page to taking up a smaller space in the middle, as though I had increased the margins for the newrs columns I have put in. This page shows an example of what I mean, scroll down and you will see that the columns narrow. Thanks!

Hi there,
You mentioned “this example” but I did not see an example included in your initial message. Did you mean to include a screenshot of some kind? Are you referring to the layout on your homepage on https://moondaypainter.wordpress.com/ possibly?
One thing to be aware of is that individual blocks have settings that control how wide the content is displayed. For example the Slideshow block as a “full width” setting that you can set it to, and it will make the appearance on the homepage larger than it is now.
Does changing your block width settings help?

Thanksjerrysarcastic.
Sorry, I forgot to post the link. The problem isn’t on the home page, it’s here
https://moondaypainter.wordpress.com/100-2/ You can see the first bunch of images (£100 works on paper) that I added some time ago are not restricted like the latter two sections (£50 and £70 works on paper). I hope I am explaining myself properly! I tried what you suggested but it didn’t make it better. It’s a bit like using a word document with the margins set too wide on part of the doc. -
Ah ok, so here’s what happened, let me try to explain in text.
You have three columns set on the post using the Columns block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/columns-block/
The second and third section are all in the center column. On the first section, you use both left and right columns.
And now that I read that, could be coffee hasn’t kicked in, I don’t think I’m explaining it well, so here’s an annotated screenshot instead: https://d.pr/i/t6IH1p

Thanks Macmanx, it makes sense as you explain it ( I just had a coffee so maybe I am more alert than usual!) and I will look at the notes too.
These forums are so helpful. Thanks again.

I understand what I have done but is there a way to end the columns and go back to an
un- column section further down the page? -
Yes, the problem here is that Columns block is now just one big block covering the whole page.
You can end it by adding a new block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/#adding-a-block
