trying to update blog standard width – standard-post-content span6

[Neighbourhooddesign101]

Hi, I am trying to make the <div class=”standard-post-content span6″> image/date wider on standard blog page to remove white space between image and sidebar.

I added custom css that seem to work however the social icons moved to the center of top menu
What is the correct css?

.span6 {
width: 670px;
}

Also, on the home page can i get my blog to open within the first/most recent blog post?
I was thinking like this see link below:

Hi Mohammad,

i tried:

.span8 {
width: 770px;
}

.standard-post-content .span8 {
width: 770px;
}`

What do i need to add to custom.css?

In regards to question 2

How to open home page with most recent post only?

This is working. However, If i dont used thumbnail options and select a image.. I don’t get a thumbnail for archives: see article

I tried to use feature image but no thumbnail.

Hi, when M. said

Hi,
1- Please use this code

<div class="standard-post-content span8">

instead of

<div class="standard-post-content span6">

to make post content area with image wider .

he was referring to a manual php change in a theme file.

Please never try to change a span css width without a selector in front of it. As the whole theme relies on a grid system you would break the layout in several places.

Try this custom css and check if anything goes wrong on other pages please

.spb_blog_widget .span6 {
width: 100%;
}

Hi,
Please try this code

div.standard-post-content.span6 {
width: 770px;
}
