    I'm trying to figure out how to change the width of the content in my pages / posts in Parallax Pro.

    I've tried the obvious things:

    • Changed .content {width: 700px; } to 800 px.
    • Increased the max-width of the two largest media queries by 100px.
    • Flushed my website and browser cache.

    Still, however, the content -- the text, etc., is only about 665px in width.

    Parallax Pro comes with a pull-right and pull-left CSS option for your images. With them, the total width is still about 1065px.

    I'd like for the text to be wider -- more like 800 or 900 px., while still being fluid.

    I do have the Genesis Extender, so I can easily tinker with custom CSS and custom functions, but I'm at a loss on this one.

    Any guidance in helping me solve this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hoping I'm understanding your question.

    The default padding on .content in parallax pro is 200px maybe try reducing it by 100px on each side using the code below?

    .full-width-content .content {
    padding: 0 100px 50px;
    }

    Hey, thanks Chris.

    That certainly did the trick.

    Thanks for the tip -- precisely the effect I wanted!

    Oops .. it messed up the Parallax Pro landing page, which probably goes by the latter half of this snippet:

    .full-width-content .content {
    	padding: 0 200px 50px;
    	width: 100%;
    }
    
    .full-width-content.parallax-home .content {
    	padding: 0;
    }

    Nevertheless, I'll figure it out. Thanks for putting me in the right direction, Chris!

    You might be able to fix that by attaching

    .parallax-landing

    before

    .full-width-content .content

    and entering the code you want specifically for the landing page
    so if the original code I gave you undid something you can redo it just for that page.

    .parallax-landing .full-width-content .content {padding: 0 200px 50px;}

    Hi Peter. Here is the code that worked for the pages/posts, but did not affect the landing pages:

    .page .content {
    padding: 0 135px 50px!important;
    width: 100%;
    } `

    To elaborate, I set up media queries on top of this, so my full code is:
    
    @media only screen and (max-width: 1140px) {
    .page .content {
        padding: 0 135px 50px!important;
        width: 100%;
    }
    }
    @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    	.page .content {
        padding: 0 30px 50px!important;
        width: 100%;
    }
    }
    @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    	.page .content {
        padding: 0 0px 50px!important;
        width: 100%;
    } 

    Thanks for your help, Peter, and I hope this thread can help anybody else who wants the same type of effect.
