Archive page suggestions

Maybe I bit off more than I can chew with Generate Press. My archive pages are not styled nicely as before. I assume there is not styling with this theme - the wordpress default style is used. I have no idea how to make any changes to get something similar to what I had before.
Hi there,
What styles are you referring to?
We have some options in the customizer in case you haven't found them:

Let me know :)
Thanks. I'll take a look at this and see if I can get to a place I'm happy with.
Sounds good let me know :)
So I checked it out and made a couple changes, but what I basically want is each archive in a "box" with the featured image right up to the side margins and taking up about 1/2 of the "box". The boxed area would be white which makes each post stand out a bit from the gray background of the page.
Can you link me to an example? Hard to picture with just words.
Here is a link similar to what I had with my other theme - although my photos did not have any white space on the top or sides. But I like either way as regards to the photos.
Should be able to replicate that relatively easy using GP.
First, make sure you are using separate containers:

Can you link me to what you have so far?
It is on a staging site. Is there a way to privately send you a screenshot?
Screenshots normally don't help too much
You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field for your staging site link.
Okay. Just not sure how to set the staging site so it can be viewed. Right now it is unaccessible to anyone but myself. Do you happen to know how I would change that? Sorry! Kind of a newbie.
No I don't unfortunately.
Your hosting should be able to help you out on that. It should come in handy as I assume you will have more questions :)
Actually, I just discovered that if I add two containers in the Customizer it does what I was hoping for. Thanks again.
No problem :)
