Magento – How to change the main column on 2 column layout in Magento ver. 1.9.3.1

custom-column-gridlayoutmagento-1.9override-block

MT Ghost Theme – we had a 3rd party start the website because of time. The problem is, I am not able to change anything. There is a lot of "white space" on the product detail page that makes the main image small, the right column "related products" images are actually bigger than the main product image. The image cloud zoom is small. I can go into the configurations and change the swatches size, but nothing else seems to change anything. How do I override there CSS upload they originally did without doing another CSS upload to change the column sizes? I look all through these discussions and anything I tried on the product design tab or on the category custom design tab has worked. Any ideas?

I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but if you want to update a product page template, you have to do this:

Go to app/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/layout/local.xml then add the code bellow before </layout> tag

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <template>page/2columns-left.phtml</template> //or 2columns-right.phtml
        </action>
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>
