Widening the sidebar?

I searched through the posts on here and couldn’t find how to widen the sidebar in Vantage Premium. I have a Facebook plugin that is being cutoff because the sidebar is too narrow. The plugin gives me the ability to set the width of the plugin but when I change the number in there, the plugin does not expand out, which makes me think that the problem lays with Vantage. The Vantage theme is overriding the plugin settings.

So how do I widen the sidebar? I’m assuming I’ll need to add coding to the Custom CSS area.

Also, while I’m on topic :D as you can see from this screenshot:

the theme does not use the whole page. I’d like the theme to expand out and use the whole page, with only a margin all the way around where the background color extends but there is no writing. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you!

    Hi HavaWorkman

    You can fix/change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    body.responsive.layout-full #page-wrapper .full-container {
    max-width: 100%;
    }
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    Let’s start with the above, see how that works out for you and go from there.
