I’m using Mesocolumn for designing my website as a delivery system of my lessons. Thank you, Richie KS, for creating this theme for us. You help not only me but also my students. I’ve also appreciated your quick response and great support.

The best theme there is if you need a theme that works well with BuddyPress. Especially if you need widgets exclusively for the BP-pages. Highly recommended.

I’ve used this theme for a Faq site. Perfect. An now on a new Forum website underco. with bbPress. No problem, no troubles. We’ve done some work in php for our needs, and the child-theme works.
OK with any new version of WordPress, and so with the theme.
So, 5 star 🙂

Bindeshwar Singh KushwahaPublic CommentUserVery responsive theme, thanks for developing this theme.Hi Richie,
A long time Mesocolumn user here.
I have created a full-width post template but the post content will not expand to the full width even after I removed the sidebar.
I just need help with the custom CSS code to make only the full-width template expand to full width.
Using chrome inspector I found the code below but it affects all other existing posts.
#post-entry article .post-content {
width: 130%;
}
Would you help with the CSS code to expand only the newly created full-width post template?
Thank you Richie.
