The width of the content area increased.

The increased width of the content areas should work throughout the site (e.g. single pages, single post & blog archives).

Where and how to increase the width of the content area:

In WordPress Admin > Appearance > Edit CSS.

Enter the CSS code below and Publish the update.

• Update the max-width 56rem value to 87rem to make the content 50% wider.
• Update the width 4rem value to 8rem to double the width of the spaces to the left and right of the content area.

The CSS code:

.entry-content > *:not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.is-style-wide) {
    max-width: 87rem;
    width: calc(100% - 8rem);
}
