Displaying single post pages differently in specific categories

[sheilab]

I want the  .entry-content of   posts from the about category in my site to be 66% width and centered. The single posts from other categories will be 100%, all are full width format (no sidebars). I am trying to accomplish this with post body classes and Genesis Simple Edits. but am not getting it right. I'm using the Outreach 2 childtheme

An about category page http://www.bergmanmediaservices.com/statement/

I am thinking the php for the  genesis_post_content simple hook would be something like this:

<?php
if  ( (is_single()) && (is_category(about)) )
function add_body_class( $classes ) {
$classes[] = 'about';
return $classes;
}
?>

and the css would look like:

.category-about .entry-title {

width: 66%;

margin: 0 auto;
}

Is this the correct approach? Where am I going wrong? Thanks! - Sheila

Pretty close!

Try:

add_filter( 'body_classes', 'bms_add_about_cat_class' );
function bms_add_about_cat_class( $classes ) {
    if  ( is_single() && is_category( 'about' ) )
        $classes[] = 'category-about';
    return $classes;
}

Then keep the same CSS as before.
