Overview

Copy the URL link to this section to share

Several Knowledge Base (KB) settings work together to determine how wide your article page appears. It helps to think of them as nested containers, from outermost to innermost:

  1. Page Template Width (KB Template or Current Theme Template) – the outermost limit. Learn More
  2. Article Page Width – the main container for the entire article, including the search box and everything inside it.
  3. Content Width Including Any Sidebars – the width of the center content plus sidebars, inside the article container.

 

Each inner width is limited by the container around it. For example, the Content Width can never exceed the Article Page Width.

a) Article Page Width

The Article Page Width controls the width of the whole article page - the search box, the article content, and the sidebars are all contained within it.

To update the Article Page Width:

  1. Open our frontend editor from the top admin bar on the Article page.
  2. Go to Settings -> Adjust the Article Page Width setting.

Note: If the page is narrower than expected and you have selected the Current Theme Template, your theme may be limiting the page width. Check your theme settings. Learn More

b) Content Width Including Any Sidebars

This setting controls the combined width of the center article content and any sidebars. It fits inside the article container, so it can never exceed the Article Page Width – if you need more room, increase the Article Page Width first. See image above ( Red Arrows )

To update the Content Width:

  1. Open our frontend editor from the top admin bar on the Article page.
  2. Go to Settings -> Adjust the Content Width Including Any Sidebars  setting.

c) Search Box Width

The search box is always set to 100% of the Article Page Width, so it automatically fills the full width of the article container. To make the search box wider or narrower, adjust the Article Page Width setting described above.

d) Sidebar Width
