justify text
43 replies · Started by Guna on January 16, 2019
Hello!
I have already installed the plugin for justify text, and it worked perfectly with my 2 first blog posts. Besides when editting those first 2 I have it visible so I can format my text accordingly, but my last blog post: "Danish" your way in Copenhagen just dont have these options. Moreover, the menu of possibilities to adjust the text are the most basic ones for this post and I cant find how to find the improved menu with all the posibilities to modifay my text as I have it in the first 2 blog articles.When I started to write my last post, I did the same procedure as with the first 2: add new and then I started to write, but something has gone different.www.goitdoit.com
It looks like you wrote your latest posts in Gutenberg, which doesn't have a justify option.
However, you can likely just use some CSS:
.type-post p {
text-align: justify;
}
Thank you for the answer!
May I ask what is Gutenberg, and where to go to avoid writing in it no to have this problem again.
And one more question:
In the section"Travel Stories" when somebody clicks on that, I want a page to appear with the articles and their title picture in a horizontal rows of 3, not just the title of the article, how do i do that?
Gutenberg is the new editor in WordPress 5.0: http://wordpress.org/gutenberg
It's likely worth sticking with, as it's the future of editing in WordPress. The CSS I mentioned will automatically justify all of your post text.
Not too sure what you mean? Do you have an example I can check out?
Thanks for the answer about Gutenberg - understood!
Yes,I have an example, in this travel blog, it appears when you click on "the blog" on the primary menu, so I want the same system - when somebody clicks on "Travel Stories" a new page with all my (well, 3 for now)articles appear with pictures, title and the first sentence or two.

Hi there,
the easiest way to create the archive on the Travel Stories archive is to use categories.
1. Add the Category of 'Travel Story' to the posts you wish to be displayed.
2. Replace the Travel Stories menu link with a Categories Menu Link and choose the Travel Story Category.
3. Select that new menu item and edit the navigation label for how you want it to be displayed.
Thank you for the answer!
Well, the first step I did easily, but the 2. step I still dont understand, especially because I tried it once after seeing one video and deleted a post. Can you please describe the step 2 more in detail or maybe you have a video how to do it?
Of course:
1. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus
2. At the top Select a menu to edit: select your current menu and hit Select.
3. In the menu list Select the Travel Stories menu item. Click the down arrow to is right to expand. And click remove.
4. In the list to the right of the menu you will see Pages / Posts / Custom Links etc. Click on the Categories and this will expand.
5. Check the Category item ie. Travel Stories and hit Add to Menu.
You can then re-arrange your menu as you did when you created your original menu.
Hello David!
Yes, now it all seems more understanding, however, I still have 2 things unclear:
1. Right now under the menu item Travel Stories, I have my 3 articles there. If I hit remove, will they not disappear? Or I have to save them somewhere else before I hit the remove button?
2. In my version, there are no Pages/Posts/Custom Links to the right of the menu. Can you please specify where exactly to find them or where could they be otherwise?
Sincerely,
Guna
Hi Guna,
1. You can add your new category menu item, and then move those sub-items under the new menu item. Then you can delete the existing menu item.
I'm pretty sure those sub-items would just become parent items if you deleted the parent while they were still nested.
2. If you click "Screen Options" at the top right, you'll see checkboxes for each section. Make sure they're checked: https://www.screencast.com/t/6DRRDLYxKN
Ok, your description helped and I have managed to turn the page "Travel stories" into a category. But how do I get the appearance of this category "Travel Stories" to look like that: https://iheartreykjavik.net/the-blog/ when I click on it.
And I have another quick question, I wanted to check formatting on my last post and realized that the title is not H1 but permalink and there is no place where I can change it to H1. Does it also has something to do with this Gutenberg version, as before my main titles were H1 and not permalinks.
To create columns within your standard archives, you can use our Blog module in Customize > Layout > Blog: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/
Titles on your blog/archives are <h2> elements, as you can't have more than 1 <h1> on a page.
Your single posts are using <h1> elements.
Ok, yes I tried it out and it does work and looks beautiful, however, I did not manage to arrange it in columns under Travel Stories. The changes applied only to the main page, but the main page when people open my site i want to leave for now the way it is now, only with the latest post, but once people would open Travel Stories, there my posts would be arranged in columns. So how do I apply it to the menu item, not the main page?
I have formatted all my subtitles as H2, that is fine.But my main title doesn't appear as H1 that is what confuses me. Is single post the same as the main title?
The column settings in GeneratePress should apply to categories as well as the main blog. Is the option turned on right now?
Which main title are you adjusting? In the site header?
