[Resolved] “Abstract” Theme 2 questions: width and buttons

[Ruthanne]

Hello! I’m working on this site here: https://ruthannereid.com

I have two questions – thanks in advance for your help!

1. There is some weird stuff going on in posts. Some of the text is full-width, and some of it is properly contained. How do I make it consistent so it’s all in a column in the center instead of stretching full-screen? Example: https://ruthannereid.com/book-news/new-story-every-good-servant/

2. Does anyone know how to make these buttons justify to the bottom of each column? https://ruthannereid.com/books/

Thank you!

Hi there,

Can you go to appearance > elements, remove the posts from the layout element which sets pages/posts to full width?

For question 2, I see you are using GenerateBlocks already, I would recommend to use Grid block from GB instead of WP’s Columns block to build the layout.

Since the columns block doesn’t come with a specific ID, it’s very difficult to target using CSS.

Once it’s done, please get back to us, we can offer some CSS solution 🙂

Hi, and thanks so much for the help! The posts trick worked like a charm.

I believe I’ve moved the blocks over properly to grids. What’s next? 🙂

Good job, then you can try add this CSS:

.gb-grid-wrapper-95f84891 > .gb-grid-column > .gb-container >.gb-inside-container {
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: space-between;
}
.gb-grid-wrapper.gb-grid-wrapper-95f84891 > .gb-grid-column >.gb-container > .gb-inside-container >*:last-child {
    margin-top: auto;
}

And actually you don’t need to add 2Gridblocks for the 3 + 2 columns layout, you just need one Gridblock with 5 containers.

Here’s the documentation of Grid block, hope it’s useful for you:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/grid-overview/

Set the first 3 Grid > Containers to 33% in width, and the last 2Grid > Containerto 50% in width.

Then you can select the Gridblock add vertical and horizontal Gap accordingly for different width devices 🙂

You’re amazing! It looks SO good!

I also took your tip about understanding that Grid block better, and now the whole page is in that grid format. 🙂 Terrific advice. Thank you!
