Where to change Article width?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I have multiple articles on the site. However, when I click on them, only about 40% of the width of the template is used.

I assume articles displayed go into a "default" container? Or is there another reason why the articles (all text) wrap around at about 40%?

Hi

Do you have a link for the site?

Well, after changing the menu width from 20px to 200px and pressing Save, the entire template got "cleared"! I went back into the template and none of the modules are shown, they're just in the list off to the right for each row. I had a copy of this template named "Buildr - Default (2)", and it too is cleared completely out.

Any idea what happened and how it can be fixed?

What do you mean "cleared"?

Has a section of the settings been wiped?

No changes on the server. Everything was working, I was just saving articles, then I pressed Save after changing the menu width for the Buidr template and that is the result!

Are you using any sidebar on the site alongside the content area?

As you can alter the position widths by dragging them

I mean, which module does an article use by default? I just created an article and have a menu item load up that article.

Its this area

If you were to use the one page layout or hide front page content then it would be modules assigned to this page
