I've been trying to modify a free WP-theme (Arcade Basic) to be full width. The element I need to modify is, according to inspect element, this:
.container { max-width: 1170px; }
It shows the source as (index):81 on Inspect Element, which is of course the index file of the page. Though I have no idea where that comes from.
It's probably some JS script of the theme but I went over all those with NotePad++:s search function and I didn't find any trace of that kind of code. The style.css doesn't have it either.
Where could that come from?
While that solved your problem, for reference, the width is set via media queries in the styles.css file. Specifically the following:
.container {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px; }
.container:before, .container:after {
content: " ";
display: table; }
.container:after {
clear: both; }
@media (min-width: 769px) {
.container {
width: 760px; } }
@media (min-width: 992px) {
.container {
width: 980px; } }
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.container {
width: 1180px; } }
