Full width not working

Hi
I’ve followed your instructions and tried adding a full width two column structure but it then makes the theme go into a fixed width. I’m using the Avada theme. I’ve used the code you suggested

.fl-builder #content { 
    width: auto; 
}

However its still not working. http://bmc-client.co.uk/tpp/?page_id=1345

There is a page builder called fusion within the theme - should I disable this if I’m using BB. Not sure if its possible to do this but wondered what is the best practice with built in builders.

Hey Charles,

Welcome to the BB forums! :slight_smile:

Your code is working fine, just that your BB rows are set to Fixed Width. Head over to your Row Settings and set it to Full Width. Check the screenshot for reference.

Also, your theme has applied left and right padding to your main content area so it may not be edge to edge. Try checking your theme settings if there is a way to remove those padding.

Lastly, having 2 Page Builders usually result in a conflict. If there is a way to disable the builtin builder, I’d suggest doing so.

Hi I want my content to be fixed width (to allow text, graphics etc to be within a sensible canvas area) but I want the rows to be full width to allow for full width row backgrounds. So I’ve set the width to be full width and the content to be fixed width however its still not looking right http://bmc-client.co.uk/tpp/?page_id=1345. Any ideas?

Hey Charles,

Actually, set the above CSS to 100%, not auto. And let’s just remove the padding on your body as well. Try the code below.

.fl-builder #content { 
  width: 100%; 
}
#main { 
  padding-left: 0px !important;
  padding-right: 0px !important;
}

This is working now with the theme builder blocks BUT only if I have the row settings set to 100% for both row and content. Can I overide this for BB? I need my content fixed width and then my rows full width. If you look to the bottom of the page where my BB content text is you’ll see it floats to the left of the full width row and not into the canvas area.

Hey Charles,

You can place that content on another row and set it to Full Width row with Fixed Width content like on the screenshot below.

Ben thanks so much for your perseverence that’s great got it working now. It had put all the fusion builder in one massive row so wasn’t putting a fresh row but adding to the fusion one. Do you suggest that I just use the theme for the header and footer and slider and then BB for the rest. Do people do this? I tried with Genesis but found them limiting and the child themes disappointing to be honest. Are there any themes that work really well with BB that you have come across?

Hey Charles,

No worries, glad you got it working! That’s how I’d use the theme, only for the header/footer, not sure how everyone else use it. I haven’t really used any other theme with the BB page builder aside from the BB theme itself so I won’t be able to answer that question. Feel free to post that over to the FB Group. :slight_smile:
