    I would like to reduce the width of the theme I am using (Minimum) as full-width is too wide for the best reading experience. Selecting content-sidebar and not using the sidebar looks awkward too. I tried adding a width to site-container in the style sheet, but that did not reduce the width of the header and navigation bar. Must I reduce the max-width of all these structures separately?

    As you posted this a while back, I hope you were able to get your issue resolved. If it was resolved, please mark it "resolved", so we can close it.

    If you are still having issues, please check back in here, and I will try to escalate.

    Thanks!

    No, I haven't resolved this. I'm still using the original width.

    You can find this line in style.css

    .wrap {
      margin: 0 auto;
      max-width: 1140px;
    }

    and change the max-width to a smaller number than 1140px, maybe 960px or smaller.

    If that doesn't do what you want, please post a link to your site.

    Thanks, Marcy. I'm pretty sure I tried that and it didn't work, which is why I posted. But it's been awhile so I will try again this weekend and report back. I appreciate your response.
