How to Determine the Width of a WordPress Blog

1. Log in to your WordPress admin area. This is located at yourbloglocation.com/wp-admin.
2. Click 'Appearance,' then 'Editor.' This section allows you to edit the HTML source code of the blog directly. Note that to merely determine the width of the blog, no changes need to be made to these files.

3. Click 'Stylesheet,' which is located at the bottom of the list of files to the right of the screen. The stylesheet contains information on the size, coloring and positioning of all the elements of your blog. After you click the link, the file will appear in the central editing area.
4. Search the site for 'wrapper.' You can either press Ctrl f on Windows, or Command f on the Mac to open up a search bar, or you can scan the file manually. The title for the wrapper will be proceeded by a hash '#' symbol. Look just underneath for 'Width' -- next to this will be the width of your blog in pixels. If you cannot find 'wrapper,' try searching for 'container.' If there is no container element either, continue to the next step.
5. Click 'header.php' -- the file which contains meta data and information for your sites top header and any menubars located there. Your aim is to locate the first
tag after the
tag. This will be labeled with an 'id', for example,
. Note the name of the
tag, and search for it in the stylesheet, using the same procedure that you used in the previous step.
