You should install another theme...
Or maybe you should change the css file in the theme directory

Hi Fxxx

Im completely new to this and cant see where all these codes are that everyone keeps suggesting to change

Probably change your CSS file.

Which theme are you using?

plain yoghurt, i dont know how to. im using 5.3.3 as i dont even know how to update

Look for this line (14) in the main CSS and change width:



Does dashboard not tell you to update?

i dont know where main css file is and yeh it doesnt but will do that when im more up on things

R U doing this on your computer or on a server?

on my pc im changing a site for work that a "web design" company did

Find the C5 install (xamp-htdocs) in the 'concrete' folder find themes, in themes find default theme, in there find 'main.css'.

I think thats right?

i've changed that width parameter in the main css file but it didn't seem to do anything.

http://sitename.com/themes/core/main.css orhttp://sitename.com/concrete/themes/core/main.css... you should find it here!

set it to 960px width that is best for most modern browsers

hi
i have the same problem with changing the width of the page (to 1000pixel).
tried this:
/* Page Structure / Navigation */
#page{ width:800px; margin:auto; text-align:left }

but the width didn't change ...
question: what did i do wrong?
or, anyone with another idea out there?

tnx in advance

thanks everyone, the prob i have is the fact i dont have access to the main installation of c5 as it was set up by a web design co with my work, is there any other way to change width by inserting code or something

Well logically looking at C5, and only just downloaded it myself, you should be able to go to dashboard>Themes>edit Current theme>Add CSS> then add the css override there.

But I've just done that on a test site I've installed with the greek template but can't figure out where it injects the CSS override, maybe a Grand Master of C5 should be able to answer the reason for CSS override in the Admin area and what it does...

So unless the Add CSS injects CSS stlye outputs to the HTML page
like the following:
<style>
... CSS override code here..
</style>
I think you need to have access to the CSS file to change it via FTP
