I have created a Blog post hero element ( setting it as Page hero ) and given a width of 800 px to my main container of the element.
The Page hero element contains the header, featured image, published date , author name
My main container width in the Customiser is set to 1000 px
When I try to use the page hero element with a post, the content width is showing wider than the hero section
How do I make the content width to match my page hero width?
Here is the url of the post

Should I use a content template for the content section and set the width to match the hero section?
Please advise me as I am very new to GP/ GB and have just started to use them

Hi there,
your main Container has max width set to 1000px and it has 40px of Padding ( desktop ), 30px of Padding ( Mobile ).
If you want the Page Hero to align with the content then you should apply the same to your hero container eg. Sizing > Max Width = 1000px and Spacing > Padding to 40px.

Thanks David for the response
I want to keep my Hero section and content section at 800 px but I want my footer area to be 1000px wide
How do I do that?
In fact I was seeing some Youtube videos where they keep the featured image also at 1000 px and the other parts at 800px
I am not sure what is the best sizes to use nowadays for blog posts, considering that most readers are on mobile
Would appreciate some guidance if possible

I want to make my post like this

The page hero and content is the same width but the footer template is bigger width.
If I set my container width to 1000 px in the GP customiser, then how will I be able to have a wider footer?

I have set my container width in the customiser as 1000

OK, in the Customizer set the widest width you require eg. 1000px.
Then in Appearance > Elements -> Add New Layout Element.
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/
On the Content tab just set the Content Width to 800px
And set the Display Rules to Posts > All Posts.
This will only apply to the posts content. -
I was able to set it
It works fine

If I want to make the hero section wider to say 900 px, will the content layout remain at 800px?
-
If you use a GP Block Element for the Hero then you can set the Max Width of the Contaienr Block to 900px.
The content width will remain 800px -
ok thanks
Will check it out

But will the author box and the footer also be set to 800px as per the layout element, or can I atleast make the footer 1000px?
I had sent you a sample post

I also want to set the widths for my Pages – I will be using the same Page hero for header and same content width 800 px for the content.
So do I add the locations as All Pages as well in the various elements?

But will the author box and the footer also be set to 800px as per the layout element, or can I atleast make the footer 1000px?
The author box is inside the content container, so no, you can not set it be wider than 800px if you are using a layout element.
Yo will need to remove the layout element, and create a block element – content template for single posts, and set the root container’s
max-widthto800px, so the post content area can be 800px, while the comment area remains at 1000px.The footer (black) is full-width, I’m not sure what you are referring to.
So do I add the locations as All Pages as well in the various elements?
Yes, the elements can be shared with different locations, you can add all pages to it.
