Changing Width of One Page Type

[suburbanite]

Hi all:
I am using Modern Portfolio for my site and have gotten everything looking the way I want it to, but the actual blog page is the same width as the overall website width, and it seems too long for reading lines of text. I would like to be able to go in and add some padding or something to make the lines narrower without affecting any other pages.

The only trick is that I'm using posts on my Portfolio page, so I don't want to change the width of posts, I only want to change the width of blog posts, which are posts set to the category called Blog.

Hopefully that makes sense, I appreciate your help!

Yes it makes sense.

Inspect the body tag and you should see a classe along the lines of category-blog

You can then style your page

width something like body.category-blog .content-sidebar-wrap {padding left: 10%; padding-right: 10% }

My blog post here explains a bit more about inspecting and using the body classes and the same principal can be applied to do what you need http://badlywired.com/2015/applying-styling-specific-wordpress-page/

....edit....

Devil is in the detail. I actually looked at your site and think I understand your issue, it is on the single pages
In this case there is a class on the <article> category-blog and category-photography

So you can custom style these with article.category-blog { ... whatever ....
