Text width

  • Unknown's avatar

    How can I elongate text? Instead of having it blocked in the center, I’d like to stretch it out across the page. Is this possible with Radcliff 2 theme?

    Thanks.

    Hello @juliablues,

    I took look at your site and I have decided to create a copy of the theme using my local server to see if there is a way to elongate the text. Unfortunately, It looks like the theme doesn’t support any options to modify how the post looks like.

    If you know html and css you can try adding some custom code to get the look you want but I’m afraid that is all that can be done. Unless you use a different theme.

    Best,
    Bill

    Thanks for your thorough help, Bill! :)

    @juliablues: Bill’s right that, although there aren’t any built-in theme options to increase the width of your site’s content, you could use some custom CSS to achieve what you’re after.

    In case you’re not too familiar with CSS: It’s a coding language that’s used across the web to define the appearance of websites. Here at WordPress.com, it’s possible for WordPress.com Premium or Business owners to use custom CSS to tweak certain parts of a theme’s design. You can read more about this here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/

    To add the custom CSS you need, you need to navigate to the CSS panel of the WordPress.com Customizer and copy/paste the following:

    .page-content, .entry-content, .entry-summary, .entry-footer, .post-navigation, .posts-navigation, .comments-wrapper, .respond-wrapper {
        width: 800px;
    }

    Increase/decrease the value of 800px in order to experiment with different content widths.
