Hi Katharina,
Try the CSS below:
- Post title line height:
.widget_recent_entries a {
line-height: 25px;
}
- Date font size:
.widget_recent_entries .post-date {
font-size: 20px;
}
Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/
- As for featured image, you would have to find a plugin for that. There were a couple users mentioning this but I can't remember what they used. Do a quick search and let me know if you can't find any.
Let me know.
This plugin might be useful for the featured images: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/
Thanx for your fast reply!
I first tried the CSS wich didn't really change the distance between the articles, but the change of the font size worked fine. But i hat to add
.widget_recent_entries .post-date {
font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;
}
to force a paragraph after the post title.
Then i installed the suggested plugin, and it works fine so don't need the css anymore :).
