Hello,

It's a shame to me, but i've been working on this thing all day, and i can't figure out how to do it.
What i want to do is simply change the size of the blocks of a theme that i downloaded.

This theme is, in fact, too small and i'd like to make it larger.
I've tried to change the 'width' tags in the style.css, but the only thing i was able to get was a real mess; the page didn't become larger and blocks moved elsewhere totally messed up, not matching the backgroung color and such.

Then i've been watching videos and reading tutorials and documentation, but i was not able to find anything that explain how to change sizes!
I mean, it sounds like a simple thing, i thought that all i had to do was changing some "width".

Well... i was wrong.

I hope i've been able to let you understand my problem and that someone will able to help me out, i'm getting crazy.

Thank you.

A couple of things the might help you get an answer, the theme you are using, a link to your site.

Really?
Why do you need to know the name of the theme and see the website? Isn't it the same for every theme to modify it?
(I don't mean to be polemical, i'm just trying to understand).

I mean, if i want to change the background color i change the "background-color: " in the css, if i want to put an align the text somewhere i use the "text-align:"
So, i can't understand why changing the "width" isn't working, maybe there is something i don't know.

I'm working in local btw, and using the zubrick theme.

Thank you for your time.

Not all themes use the same html and not all themes use the same approach to laying out the columns. Some themes you change the width of the sidebar and everything adjusts accordingly, some things fall apart. Some themes you change the width of the content and the sidebar changes. And in some themes you need to change both.

And in general, the more detail you provide (within reason) the more likely you are to get an an answer and one that addresses your specific needs
