This thread is kinda related, maybe it'll help. Thing is that there are 2 columns and for the effect you're after you need to rearrange them a bit.

if its the product page you are talking about then it will be catalog/view/theme/YOUR_THEME/template/product/product.tpl

That is not real code but mockup or pseudo code to type less :)
If you're not familiar with html markup you should probably not attempt this yourself!

http://getbootstrap.com will show you some of the workings for opencart templates

You know what's not helpful? People that complain about free help. If you're not willing to learn, and just want the solution handed to you, with verbatim instructions, that's certainly available: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=partner/partner

Please have a look the topic "General support", am I came to the wrong place?

If I want to learn, I can go to "Tutorial" forum, ok?

faiz555kr, I can only tell you why the description is like that based on what I have seen in my own tests.
If you add the category menu on the product pages in the left column it causes the description of the item to leave space for possible options you might have for that product.
Remove the category menu on the product page and you should see that the description spans the entire content area like in the demo at http://demo.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... duct_id=49

currently you're not on the wrong forum. i hate to say this but if you expect someone to feed on your mouth with FREE support and fully functionality then you're totally in the wrong forum. please move to commercial support instead!

only if you like the view of the above image then you may download below XML that only work if you have VQMOD installed, if not go google for that and download the opencart version and have it installed
only tested for V2.1.0.2

Maybe you don't understand that the people helping you are doing so only because they want to. They are not being paid.

Like, you know, if you ask someone on the street for directions. If you don't like what they tell you, politely move on...without any snarky replies.

Edit: Also, this is the third question you've posted where you could have helped yourself if you learned a little about html elements, classes, and css. It's clear that you're going to continue wanting to make small tweaks.

You might want to try learning how to view the source of a specific element (button, div, etc) so that you can see the css classes that apply to it, like:

<button class="shiny blue">

Then, you would know that you probably want to search the css file for the classes "shiny" and "blue". Or, in this case, you would know where in the html to change the class.

A good start is to use Chrome, and it's ability to "right-click and 'inspect element'".
https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/d ... and-styles (scroll down to the area titled "Inspecting elements")

That way you can hover over the thing you want to find in the html, and view the html source of it.

At the very least, if you're asking for free help, maybe you could try and be more polite.
