Twentyfourteen theme: Please help me widen content area between sidebars

  • patchofurr · Member ·

    I have just changed my theme to Twentyfourteen:
    https://dogpatchpress.wordpress.com/

    Previously, I was using Manifest which allowed the content area to span 1000 px – my preference for reading/writing long-form articles for viewing on a PC monitor.

    But the CSS tweak I was using isn’t affecting this theme. Is there one that can do it?

    Optionally, I’d also like to make the right sidebar 1/3 less wide. (But that can be overlooked, as long as I can get the main content to span 1000px.)

    Thank you!

    Also optionally… I’d be interested in centering everything instead of justified left, if possible.

    Center the site:

    .site {
margin: 0 auto;
}

    Make the right sidebar 1/3rd less wide: 

    @media screen and (min-width: 1008px){
.content-sidebar {
margin-left: -29.04761904%;
width: 20%;
}
}
    This style lets the content take all the available space:
.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
   width:100%;
	max-width: 100%;
}

    Try these styles and let me know what you think.

    @patchofurr, it appears that you have switched back to the Manifest theme, so I am going to mark this as resolved. If you have further questions, please let us know.
