Theme not stretching full width ??

Hi.

Please have a look at this site I’m building.

http://swclimited.com/swclimited/

I can’t figure out how to stretch the theme so that the menu bar, footer and site content stretches across the page. The logo (logomakr.com is down, I can’t make a nice logo!) should be on the far left with the search button on the far right with all the pages neatly spaced out in between. So also the content of the site, it’s as if it’s all “boxed” in for some reason. The theme was originally set to “boxed” but I change it to “full width” but only the meta slider seemed to have listened to that command :/

Please help!

    I really love helping and talking to myself, that’s what a forum is all about right?

    Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, do the following….

    1) Go to Appearance —-> Editor
    2) Search for the following line…

    body.responsive.layout-full #page-wrapper .full-container {
    max-width: 1080px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    }

    3) Change this line to the following….

    body.responsive.layout-full #page-wrapper .full-container {
    max-width: 100%;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding: 15px;
    }

    NOTE: The last line “padding..” is optional and basically moves your logo from all sides by 15 pixels. You can also do a “padding-left”, “padding-right”, “padding-top” or “padding-bottom” (without the quotes) to move the logo in only one direction. using only padding, will shift the logo from all sides.

    Job done.

    Hi Fnanfne

    We work through a prioritized forum queue, and unfortunately it’s takes us some time to get through all the threads.

    You would be better off posting your changes into a custom CSS editor

    Altering the theme files directly will not survive an update as WordPress completely removes any older version of a theme before installing the updated one. If you need to make more in depth changes please use a child-theme.
