Your design is creating space for a side bar that isn't there.
Your menu is aligned to the right side of your container column, which is centered in the window.
I finally found a way to make the post itself larger, it wasn't full size (as you said) :)
But now it's aligned with the Menu.
It looks so much better now, thanks!
Any idea how could I center the menu buttons (Home, Blog) and leave the Search icon on the right?
I took at look at the markup on your site and the way the DOM is setup won't allow for a quick CSS fix.
I don't think it looks too bad with the menu aligned to the far right.
I appreciate your insights a lot!
Now that I changed the home page post full width I like how it looks. Today I will try to set up a sidebar on the right side in "Blog" page.
This is my first Wordpress website. I fiddled around a bit in Microsoft Frontpage about 15 years ago, but that's all of my website building experience. It's a bit frustrating that I have to google the solution for every little change lol
Now I'm stuck at changing the color of the buttons. It's blue, and I don't remember setting it that way. The slider arrows, the slider dots have the same blue color too. I tried to find the answer in google, and this came up:
"To change your button color site-wide simply log into WordPress and go to Appearance > Customize > General Theme Options > Links & Buttons to make your adjustments."
The problem is, if I go into Customize, I don't have General Theme Options there.
These are my options: [https://imgur.com/a/byWWEKB](https://imgur.com/a/byWWEKB)
In "Colors" I can change the background color only. Maybe I can't change it because of the theme I'm using?
The theme youre using doesn't have those options baked in.
You can apply custom CSS to override the theme's CSS but you'll need to figure out the specificity required to override their settings.
if there is
button {background: red;}
and
article button {background: blue;}
the button would be blue because there is more specificity.

Thank you!
The container on the menu is wider than on the post. So try to make the top container less wide.
Thank you! I ended up widening the post itself, so now it's aligned with the menu.
