Problem
The width of WordPress theme was less. Wanted to extend it for a specific page used for displaying a mindmap with Freemind wordpress plugin.
Solution
- Install “Custom Post Templates” plugin which allows you to choose/select a specific template for your post.
- Copied #main style into #mainwide and changed the width. In terms of the PHP the change is done in header PHP
- removed get_sidebar() function from pagewide.php (copied version of page.php) in order to use more space of the page
- Freemind plugin defines the height of Mindmap. Increased it to fit
