Page width adjustment issue

Hello Russell, 

I did notice the left/ center alignment option and did try the 1200 pixel width while centering my page to that area, I hade the same issue. I put my setting back to 900,  900 width works better on phones, I'm not to thrilled with using the phone friendly format. I don't even use them on my phone when asked, I like the zoom in zoom out swipe interaction.

I appreciate your input.

I guess the next question would be .. If I create a new page pasting the entire design of the older well established search friendly page using .. Save as,  Do you think my page ranking of the new un corrupted page will maintain the same page ranging position as the replaced corrupted aligned ones.  

Or does the new page transition wipe out the current search page position, starting the slow crawl process all over again, taking time to slowly creep back into its 1st page setting.

any input would be helpful, and yes I hold myself entirely responsible for any editing actions I decide to take.

Thank you.

This would unfortunately affect your ranking, as it would seem to be a new page according to Google. 

Hello Elyzabeth

I know what you mean and did try to see if any characters or field stretched beyond my set parameter . I couldn't see any obvious scenario, I click select all which highlights all the used field and no such field spans outside the work space. if 1 or 2 pages is wider than the other 15, could that set a default width of some sort.

I appreciate your input.

I had one other person with this issue a few months ago and it ended up being their navigation menu. Can you delete and re-add the menu from each page and let me know if this issue persists?

Hello Elyzabethv,

I appreciate your reply and the mention of a possible similar scenario.

May I ask before attempting the reinstallation of  many menus, what was the reason or conclusion found making the determination of the menu field or its placement possibly creating a page offset situation.

My website is on my profile if you think that may help in seeing first hand the irregularity.

Thank you again, Sincerely, Mark

follow-up discoveries :

When in editor, previewing the readjustment back to my preferred 900 px wide from these same (few pages) affected, the preview page prior to publishing shows the offset orientation still, even though when in the editor area showing the adjustment was made. Hopefully to the advanced web builders out there this scenario will open some ideas.

Another noticed hint :

While in preview mode I noticed as mentioned the page, art borders etc. are yes offset by roughly the 250  or so width pixels, but I noticed when clicking to open an image strip feature which then opens to an up close visual of the featured image, that enlargement image is correctly centered to the normal viewing screen while the initial page it comes from is still offset.

I tried this with the non affected pages and yes in fact the blown up image feature mentioned, does stay centered to the original non affected background pages as one would imagine. whereas the affected offset pages being some how set for 1147 wide still allow the blown up image feature to stay centered to the previewed page with the exception being the 1147 width page shows my intended 900 px page which favors the left of the web space horizontal area.

I tried something different with this page width issue.

While in editor I created a new page.

I copied 1 of the affected pages and pasted it onto the new page.


With no changes done to menus video or other fields the page remains
centered upon previewing it, prior to publicizing it

Is there a chance that the width setting of an older page became corrupted to were it, by default reverts back to a larger width than entered.

I make my pages 900, the default seems to be anywhere from 1120 - 1140.

Yes, it is possible that the width setting of an older page became corrupted and reverts back to a larger width than entered.
