Custom wrapper not working with Fluid Engine

Go to solution Solved by creedon,

Before Fluid Engine, I had a simple website that used custom CSS to create a white wrapper atop a gray background. However, when I came back to my website and updated the Home page to Fluid Engine, the text margins within the white wrapper got funky and I can't insert an image in the wrapper at all. 

To see, here's my Home Page that got updated to Fluid Engine, and here's my About page which hasn't yet updated to Fluid Engine (this has the desired behavior with text margins; I want everything to look like this). 

Here's a GIF of what happens when I try to add an image to the wrapper on my Home page with Fluid Engine.

Here is the CSS that is being used for both my Home page and my About page.

/* set homepage wrapper details */ 
section[data-section-id="63aef4b07e2b647db6afd610"] .content-wrapper .content {
  background: #f9fafb;
  border-style: solid; 
  border-width: 1px; 
  border-color: gray;
  padding: 20px 40px 60px 40px;
  max-width: 800px;
}


/* set About wrapper details */ 
section[data-section-id="61a91d5a71d3ac0135447767"] .content-wrapper .content {
  background: #f9fafb;
  border-style: solid; 
  border-width: 1px; 
  border-color: gray;
  padding: 20px 40px;
  max-width: 800px;
}

Since I can't revert my Home page to do away with Fluid Engine, is there any way I can preserve the white-on-gray wrapper in the new Fluid Engine environment that allows me to add images, and has the desired text margins? Any help would be significantly appreciated.

Upgrading to FE is not required so unless you need the FE features, you can leave a page section as a Classic Editor section.

Although you can't revert an upgraded section, you can duplicate a page that uses CE sections and recreate your homepage there. By extension if your home page has any CE sections on it, you can duplicate a section and reformat it for use.

If you decide to go this route be sure that you've kept your page URL slugs correct. It's very easy to get them messed up if you don't keep on top of it.
