Help with page layouts
4 replies · Started by Tony on June 22, 2016
Hi Tom - not needed any help for a while - how's the family?
I just wrote a post with images in it and struggled with the limited control I seem to have over the layout
On a mobile there is LOTS of white space and even on a desktop it doesn't look to good.
Am I missing something in the editor or do I need a page layout addin? If so can you recommend one?
Cheers -Tony
Hi Tony,
Family is great, thank you! :)
Can you link me to the page so I can see what you mean? Are you going for a specific layout?
Since I wrote the post I have managed to improve the post but will appreciate any help/ideas on controlling the layout

Sorry missed your question:
No, I tend to figure the layout as I go BUT the wordpress visual editor isn't really WYSISYG and it's trial and error i.e. do some layout - see what it looks like - make a change - see what it looks like etc. etc.
I know no editor is true accurate WYSIWYG but the lack of control and the way the visual editor removes html makes it tedious.
There's also no way to see what it looks like mobile without using a mobile/tablet.
I doubt columns and tables would be very responsive.
In order to achieve full WYSIWYG you would have to use a page builder. The concept behind them is quite new, but they're becoming super powerful.
Is there a particular section of the page you're having an issue with?
