Question

I’m attempting to change the wrapper width on a wordpress blog. It’s currently set as following:

#wrapper {
width: 1146px;
padding: 0 28px;
margin: 0 auto;

I would like to make the width 1050, however when I change the width pixels to 1050, it doesnt change the width of the wrapper, it just pushes the entire container to the right.

Am I missing something?

Here’s a link to the blog if it helps My Blog

Problems like this are usually the result of items inside of your #wrapper being too wide for the wrapper’s width. I looked at the code on your homepage (saw the URL for your screenshot) and found the problem to be with the #root padding.

Change this:

#root {
width: 956px;
padding: 35px 95px;
background: #fff;

}

to this:

#root {
width: 956px;
padding: 35px 47px;
background: #fff;

}
