Can't Change Width Of Blog Posts
7 replies · Started by Marcus on October 7, 2020
Hi I'm trying to change the width of just the blog section of my website. I've had this site running an older version of GP for a while now but I've just updated today.
I've followed the instructions here but its not working: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/#content-1
Hi there,
I'm seeing some CSS interfering. Can you disable Autopimize and any caching plugins you are using?
Hi thank you for your response.
I can't seem to find what css is affecting it, sorry.
I've disabled caching plugin + Autopomize
Hi there,
you have this CSS in Customizer > Additional CSS:
body .grid-container {
max-width: 70%;
letter-spacing: 0.5px;
}The max-width is overriding your customizer and element widths.
Thank you for your reply.
I removed the css you mentioned. It didn't fix it.
I've discovered the issue though, I was setting the layout to apply to "Blog" instead of "Posts".
Do you know what "Blog" is for if it's not for posts? Slightly confusing.
Blog is the page you set in Dashboard > Settings > Reading to display your latest posts.
Whereas Posts > All Posts applies to the Single Posts.
Thanks
Glad to be of help
