Hello, wondering if someone can help with a layout question. I’d like to reduce the width of my article (it had been full screen/Max Width cleared), but when I set the Article Max Width to 1024, the entire layout now shifts to the left. (See screenshots).

Thanks for any help.

Hey Art!

So you’ll want to turn on the Article Margin too - just at the bottom of that image - and that will centre the content.

Fantastic! I set the left margin to about 125 pixels, and now it appears centered. Thank you very much!

You can alo just use “Auto” to set it automatically to the middle….
