Text widget width?

[adeola b]

Hello Bill,

I’m trying to add a text widget to the home page but would like to increase the width to encompass the entire widget area. I’ve looked through the Forward forum and tried to follow the counsel provided to others but it hasn’t worked for me.

Help?

Hi Adeola,

My name is Samuel King and I am the new owner of Organized Themes.

Let me see if I can help you out here.

If you want to make the text widget 100%, you will first have to create a CSS rule for it, and then apply that rule to that text widget.

To do this, please download this plugin here https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-css-classes/

Install and activate this plugin.

Next navigate to your custom css setting, it can be found under customize=>advanced=>custom css.

Paste this code below in the field

#home-widgets .widget.hometext-block {
width: 100%;
}

Finally, add your text widget to the home page and under the new settings that says css classes, paste this text there
hometext-block

This will make that text widget 100%.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Regards

Sam
