Theme Syntax default width changed?
-
Hallo,
I do no changes at the css of my blog, I let it at default. But it seems that the width of the main column is reduced from 757 px to 700 px or so. Is there an update of the Syntax Theme?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m not aware of any width reduction but I will tag this thread for a themes Staff response. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Hello ostblog and timethief,
I’m experiencing a reduction in my Syntax blog as well so I’m going to subscribe to your thread. My support thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-blogs-width-appears-to-have-narrowed-and-i-cant-figure-it-out?replies=6#post-1981337. I hope some answers appear here soon. Thank you timethief for your previous help. You’ve been wonderfully supportive.

Thanks timethief and marymaude for your support.
Especially at my uploaded images the reduce of size ist visisble. I uploaded them with the width of 750 px und insert in post as full size but they where displayed only with nearly 700 px. Looks bad. :-( -
Hi there!
There was a recent change to the Syntax theme that added padding to the content area of posts. This was to fix alignment issues in the content area when a background image was set.
It looks like the width of the content area is now 697 pixels wide.
Let me know if you have any questions about this!
@marymaude – I’ll let Ash continue to follow up with you about your particular image issues, but I’ll cross post this thread in our system so he sees my response here. :)

OK, I understand the Syntax theme’s main column width has changed from 757 pixels to 697 pixels. From now on I’m going to size photos and copy to fit in a column width of 697 pixels. I will need to change the photo and copy sizes of previous pages and posts. This is very doable on my part – I appreciate knowing how to rectify my blog’s problem.
Thank you shawnajroberts.

I’m sorry but won’t remember that. Will you please have Themes Staff update the theme description page?
This is how it reads now:
Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels)
The main column width is 757.
The footer sidebar widths are 227 each. -

One last request please – would it be possible to make the information (copy and photos) that show on the “visual” tab of the edit pages in the Syntax theme accurately represent what will show on the published pages? I believe right now what shows on the “visual” tab of the edit pages of the Syntax theme portrays the old column width of 757 pixels. This may be confusing to those unfamiliar with the narrowing of this theme’s main column when they view their blog on the visual tab but end up with different results after publishing. God bless you hard workers of WordPress.

I’m glad you mentioned that @marymaude. I’ll check in with the theme developers about it. Thanks!
