AI Overview
You can change your site-wide page edge margins and content width in the free Astra theme using the WordPress Customizer settings. [1]
Adjusting Global Page Width and Margins
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Appearance and click Customize.
- Navigate to Global and click on Container.
- Look for the Content Width slider or input box.
- Change the pixel value to make your content area wider or narrower, which directly alters the size of the outer page edge margins on desktop screens.
Changing Individual Page Layouts
- Go to Pages and click Edit on the specific page you want to change.
- Look at the right-hand sidebar for the Astra Settings icon (or click the gear/Astra icon at the top right of the editor).
- Find the Container Layout section.
- Switch between Normal, Full Width, or Narrow to alter how the page stretches relative to the screen edges.
- Click Update to save the page. [1]
If you’d like, let me know:
- Do you want to change the margins site-wide or on a single page?
- Are you trying to make the content wider or narrower?
I can give you custom CSS code if you need precise edge spacing that the free customizer doesn’t cover.
