Hey there
I want to customize blog section of my blog.
I want a simple and clean looking blog post list. Like this one

And this is now my blog section looks like.

Can you help to make my blog more professional.
I have little knowledge of CSS so if you share the CSS selectors then I can customize it in my way.
Thanks
Hi there,
Suggestions:
Reduce Container width to say 1200px. In the Customiser > layout > container. That will hit the blog, posts and pages.
For the pages where you're using Elementor you can use the Layout > Pagebuilder module to set this to full width and then control your design in Elementor. See here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-builder-container/
Change your body background color in Customiser > Colors > Body > Background color for contrast.
Adjust your heading styles in Typography > Headings and Colors > Content > Heading.
The CSS selectors for specific styling of elements you have on your site:
Entry Summary:
.entry-summary
a.read-more
Footer Meta:
.cat-links
.comments-link
.tags-links
footer.entry-meta .byline
footer.entry-meta .posted-on
Thanks David for you awesome suggestion.
Actually I am in GP Premium 1.6.2 , sorry for that.
Can you please describe me how can I make the read more button to full width.
And
.entry-summary is the class selector for blog list container.
Thanks
Increase the read more like so:
a.read-more {
width: 100%;
}
So the blog posts are article.post which have an .inside-article wrapper within containing in current order: .entry-header .post-image .entry-summary footer.entry-meta
So .entry-summary is the text excerpt in each post.
The list container is .site-main
It works man. Thank
Glad to be of help :)
