    Hi all,

    Working on my website http://trolldollsguide.com

    I want to widen the content area. Also if possible , would like to have to option to widen the header and the right sidebar.

    Looking for the code to add to the custom code area.
    I have been looking but can't find the answer.
    Thanks for any help!

    So I looked around some more and found the following code that I put in the CSS Custom Code area. Now it looks like I want it on my computer BUT I seem to have lost the mobile responsiveness. Totally stinks on my phone.
    Any ideas on how to fix it??

    Here is the code I am using:
    /* To center Primary and Secondary Navigation */

    #nav ul, #subnav ul {
    float: none;
    width: auto;
    display: table;
    margin: 0 auto;
    }
    */ To change widths of inner parts of page */
    body {
    background: #f5f5f5;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1100px;
    }

    #inner {
    width: 1100px;
    padding: 0 20px;
    }
    .content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap {
    width: 1060px;
    }
    .content-sidebar #content {
    width: 740px;
    }
    .sidebar {
    width: 300px;
    }
    .full-width-content #content {
    width: 1040px;
    }

    .footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-3 {
    width: 335px;
    }
    .footer-widgets-2 {
    width: 340px;
    }
    /*To Widen Center Area and Get Rid of Borders*/
    body {
    width: 95%;
    }
    #header .wrap,
    #footer .wrap,
    #footer-widgets .wrap {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 1100px; //This is the default Prose width, but you can change it if you want.
    }
