#
[Khurt] Thanks [asuh]. Removing the 960px declarations ( or putting them back to default of 670px) makes the page width 670px. I want a page width of 960px.

#
[asuh] [Khurt] right, and I think you’ll have to put it inside of a media query so that it doesn’t affect your site on smaller devices

GWG I just finished resigning my position in the WordPress project
#
[asuh] That sounds significant, whoa

#
[Khurt] @GWG that’s a major change.

GWG I was the Pingbacks and Trackbacks Component Maintainer
#
GWG No one cared
#
GWG So I will focus elsewhere
#
[Khurt] The only thing I changed from the original was the value of the width declarations. Now why I need the media query. Don’t understand what any of that means.

#
[asuh] [Khurt] yeah CSS can be tedious for those not used to it. You’ll have to update the CSS a little more for this to work as you’re hoping. I know you were hoping that a width change would fix it how you want but you’ve exposed an edge case that others haven’t come across or reported yet

[Khurt] I actually don’t see any scrollbars of or overflow. I saw images that are too small.
#
[Khurt] With
#
[Khurt] I overrode sempress style declarations with.
#
[Khurt] #primary {
#
[Khurt] float: left;
#
[Khurt] }
#
[Khurt] width: 960px;
#
[Khurt] #page {
#
[Khurt] display: block;
#
[Khurt] margin: 0 auto;
#
[Khurt] position: relative;
#
[Khurt] width: 960px;
#
[Khurt] }
#
[Khurt] .single-column #page {
#
[Khurt] width: 960px;
#
[Khurt] }
#
[Khurt] I am not sure how/why you are seeing overflows.
#
[Khurt] Interesting. If I remove JetPack CDN caching for images, all images are sized appropriately.

#
[jgmac1106] Had anyone tried a css override plugin for mf2 on a theme?

#
petermolnar I wouldn't use 960px any more; units like ch or em make much more sense these days
[tantek] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] @petermolnar would take rewrite of [Khurt] theme, and [Khurt] this is why I add a page builder to SemPress or 2016-IndieWeb

#
[pfefferle] Custom CSS is now part of the core
#
[pfefferle] I will have a look at sempress, to see what needs to be done to make the with 960px
#
GWG pfefferle, did you see the Spam conversation re Indienews?
[schmarty] and [tmiller] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] [pfefferle] yes these plugins though override all the core custom CSS, worth a shot to see if I can shoehorn in mf2.. Will try next week
#
[jgmac1106] Though going offline from 1/1 until start of school year.
#
GWG Offline?
#
[pfefferle] What is that css/mf2 thing?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "that css/mf2 thing" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "that css/mf2 thing is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[pfefferle] GWG no, who spammed?
#
[pfefferle] Using my plugin?
#
GWG Someone used my plugin to POSSE to Indienews a non-Indienews type article.
#
GWG I was asked to remove the feature as there is no spam control on Indienews at this time
#
[pfefferle] Oh
#
[pfefferle] Just wanted to publish my plugin on Wordpress.org
#
[pfefferle] Then I will not release it and keep it in GItHub only
#
GWG pfefferle, why not the dashboard widget?
#
GWG pfefferle, eventually there will be spam reporting I hope
[nick] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] Only the widget?
#
GWG The dashboard widget
#
[pfefferle] Hmm, it is too hacky to only release the widget
#
GWG I suppose
#
GWG Inside the Indieweb plugin?
#
GWG It fits
#
[pfefferle] Yep
[tmiller] joined the channel
#
GWG I am trying to figure out what else to POSSE to
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[tantek] I think that's not worth worrying about theoretically at this point. Wait for someone to specifically *ask* for a POSSE destination to be supported before figuring it out.
#
GWG I'm trying to figure out what else I might want to POSSE to
#
GWG There is only one thing, but I mostly want to pull my stuff out, not put it in
#
[tantek] If you're not already on a social network and actively using it, then don't bother worrying about POSSEing to it.
#
[tantek] If you're not active on any social networks, then you're done, there's nothing else you should feel like you might want to POSSE to

#
GWG Indienews is now not showing as an option after the next update
#
GWG I've put Indienews into a separate plugin, but I'm not posting it to Github right now, just putting it on my own site.

#
[Khurt] Nope.
#
[Khurt] [petermolnar_] I understand how font size relates to px and em but not sure I understand how em relates to image sizing.

#
[asuh] [Khurt] when I look at this page on my phone’s browser, the top images are too wide for the screen because of the rule `.single-column #page { width:960px }`. A media query added to that fixes it.
#
[asuh] This means `@media (min-width: 960px) { .single-column #page { width:960px } }`
#
[asuh] In plain English, this says “Hey browser, only apply this rule that says the page should be 960px wide when the browser has a width of 960px or above.”
