    Hey guys,

    Is there a quick CSS I can use so that all my body copy has a max width of 600px?

    Im thinking that I want to use the stretched layout on my site, but I don’t like how it makes the width of the text very very long if the browser is large.

    Thank you,
    Chris

    Hey Chris,

    The container width should be the same even if you are viewing the site on a wide screen. You can set the width under Enfold->General Layout->Dimensions, could you check if that is what you are looking for?

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hey Rikard,

    Thats correct. But the width of the body copy drags out and gets really wide. I want it to stop after a certain width.

    If you go on this page of my site: http://www.ccyran.com/projects/rga-stories/
    You’ll see that the copy keeps extending. It does stop after a while because of the width I made in General Layout –> Dimensions, but I want it to stop extending earlier.

    Like how there’s CSS to control that here:
    http://www.quackit.com/css/css_leading.cfm

    With the part that says “max-width: 200px”. I tried using that CSS but it didn’t work.

    Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks!
    Chris

    Hi,

    You can manage the width though this rule:

    .boxed#top {
width: 600px !important;
max-width: 600px !important;
}

    Hey John,

    I tried that code but it doesnt seem to be accurate to the pixel value. At 600px, it’s treating the body copy like 190px.

    It also throws off the alignment of the images and the header when I add this code.

    Thank you,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I’m not sure what you are referring to unfortunately, could you post a screenshot highlighting the copy you would like to set a max width to please?

    Hi Rikard,

    See below! Let me know if this makes sense…

    Page: http://www.ccyran.com/projects/rga-stories/

    I’d like the body copy width to stay around this width regardless of the browser width:

    Instead of this happening when the browser width is wider:
    https://ibb.co/mUwoi5

    So I want to have the similar text responsiveness as this website. The way the body copy width eventually stops expanding after a certain width, regardless of how wide the browser is.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    What is the screen resolution of your monitor? The text is inside a grid container so the following css code should help.

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
    .av-layout-grid-container {
        max-width: 1024px;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
}

    It will limit the width of the container to 1024px if the screen is wider than 1600px.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hey,

    Im using a Macbook Pro 13″ Inch with Retina display. 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600).

    This affects all grids right? Not just text within a grid?

    Thank you,
    Chris

    Hey!

    Yes, it will affect every grid container. If you want to apply it to a specific grid, create a unique identifier for the grid via the Section ID field or the custom css class field.

    Cheers!

    Hey Ismael,

    Specifically, how do I adjust it only to the opening copy on my homepage?

    Protected: Homepage

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    If you want to target only the first text on your site then you can try this CSS:

    .home #av-layout-grid-1 .av_textblock_section {
 YOUR CSS GOES HERE
}

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hey Rikard,

    Excuse my lack of understanding, the part that says “YOUR CSS GOES HERE”… what CSS?

    max-width: 1024px;
    margin: 0 auto;

    Apologies! I figured it out.

    Thanks Rikard!

    Hey Rikard / Ismael,

    The CSS you provided was perfect…

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
    .av-layout-grid-container {
    max-width: 1024px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    }
    }

    But I want this exact CSS, but not to effect the homepage. Can you adjust it?

    Thank you!

    Thanks!
    Chris

    Hi!

    Do you want to apply this modification only to your portfolio pages? Please use this.

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
    .single-portfolio .av-layout-grid-container {
        max-width: 1024px;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael
