Possible to somehow override a container's padding?

css, html, padding

Solution

You can add negative margins on the divs that should span the entire container:

div { margin-right: -10px; margin-left: -10px; }

Problem

I could be way overthinking this but I'm working with Wordpress for the first time and getting used to everything is giving me a major headache. Basically, I have a container div. I'm lazy and put a 10px padding. But for the theme I'm trying to create, I have a couple of `divs` that I want to span the entire container, without the padding. Here's a picture example: Is there a way to bypass the container div's settings so this one bar won't be padded?
