  My theme has a choice of using various templates when creating a page. When I went to create a full width page, it did not work. Apparently, I fooled around too much with the CSS to make earlier pages look good, and inadvertently affected the fully page template.

  Here is a sample of a page using the full page template:

  Can someone please help me, get this back to normal so whatever is in the container (i.e. graphics or text) goes across the whole page.

  Thanks.

  I don’t know if any of this will help but I installed Academica 2.0.3 and compared our css. I can see that your academica-style-css is set at 960px wide in two places, while my default installation is set to 1170px wide. I’ve listed them below along with the code you would need to set them to 1170px, however it’s worth checking to see if you set them specifically to 960px during any of your earlier customizing.

  .column-title,
  #content .column-full,
  .column-full .column-content,
  .page-template-template-full-width-php .column-content {
  	width: 1170px;
  }

  #wrap {
  	width: 1170px;
  }

  With that code you can actually change the width of the content section to whatever you want. 100% would be the full width of the screen. In my version this doesn’t appear to change the header width, though, so that’s something to consider. I haven’t figured out how to manipulate that part yet.

  The only way to make the page above to go full width is to delete 766 lines of code (that include my notes) and start with a clean CSS slate, but of course, that isn’t an option. LOL. Maybe, I can take what you gave me and do some more looking, to see what might be issue.

  I am not sure what this process is called, but I have temporarily deleted the bottom half of my 766 lines of code, and the problem goes away. So whatever it’s in there. So now I will keep halving it, soon I will have my answer…. I hope.

  I know exactly what you mean. I’ve got a lot of big things coming up in August but if you’d like to put your css/notes on jsFiddle or something similar I’ll try to help debug it when I can.

  WOW, that was simple.

  Here is the culprit…

  .column-double .column-content, .page-template-template-sidebar-left-php .column-content, .page-template-template-sidebar-right-php .column-content {
  width: 500px;
  }

  I added this to fix a “problem” on some archive pages when I first started customizing. I went in a different direction, however; and this code was a “remnant.”

  So issue is RESOLVED!!!!

  Thanks @lastfarthing.

  Hey @dnnlldd that’s great news! Don’t you just love those remnants? Sorry for the late reply, I caught the flu and slept all weekend.
