Hi,
Is it possible to change the magazine grid on the top of the home page to have 3 blog posts instead of 4?

Hi there,

1. Go to Dashboard > WP Show Posts and edit the Header list and change it to display 3 posts.

2. Customizer > Additional CSS - find this CSS:

@media (min-width: 900px) {
    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts {
        grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 1fr);
        grid-template-rows: 1fr auto;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:first-child {
        grid-column: 1 / 5;
        grid-row: 1 / 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(2) {
        grid-column: 5 / end;
        grid-row: 1 / 2;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(3) {
        grid-column: 5 / 7;
        grid-row: 2 / 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(4) {
        grid-column: 7 / end;
        grid-row: 2 / 4;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 899px) and (min-width: 600px) {
    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article {
        grid-column: span 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(3), .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(4) {
        grid-row: 3;
        grid-column: span 2;
    }
}

And replace it with:

@media (min-width: 900px) {
    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts {
        grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 1fr);
        grid-template-rows: 1fr auto;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:first-child {
        grid-column: 1 / 5;
        grid-row: 1 / 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(2) {
        grid-column: 5 / end;
        grid-row: 1 / 2;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(3) {
        grid-column: 5 / end;
        grid-row: 2 / 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(4) {
        grid-column: 7 / end;
        grid-row: 2 / 4;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 899px) and (min-width: 600px) {
    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article {
        grid-column: span 4;
    }

    .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(3), .wpsp-grid .wp-show-posts article:nth-child(4) {
        grid-row: 3;
        grid-column: span 4;
    }
}

Thank you!

Is it possible to include the excerpt on the second and third stories in the magazine grid. Right now it only shows the excerpt for the first story.

Of course - just remove this CSS:

.wpsp-grid article:not(:first-child) .wp-show-posts-entry-summary, .wpsp-grid article:not(:first-child) .wp-show-posts-entry-meta-below-post, .wpsp-grid article:not(:first-child) .wpsp-read-more {
    display: none;
}

Is it possible to display a "spacing" between grid blocks?

Grateful!

Hi Edivaldo,

Can you open a new topic with your site link?

And point us to the grids you want to add spacing.

Thanks!
