Hi Tom,

I have a haiku site at HaikuMoment.com. The vast majority of my posts are haiku poems which consist of three short lines. I would like the poem to be the point of attention when someone navigates to one of my posts.

For example, if you go to http://haikumoment.com/spread-wings/, you will see the poem title, date and author, the haiku poem, social share icons, a couple post links, etc. I would like to do 2 things:

1. Move the date and author information to below the post.
2. put some white space above and below the haiku poem. I want to do this through global formatting rather than having to put spaces into the post itself.

A third thing if possible is to center the poem on whatever screen is used, but only for the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter post categories.

Hi there,

1. This may help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/move-author-date-to-the-bottom-after-content/#post-170511

2. Try adding this CSS:

.category-haiku-articles .entry-content {
    padding: 50px 0;
}

3. On each one of those categories, a class is added to the element like the above (category-haiku-articles).

You can find this class by using the Inspect Element tool in your browser while in one of those categories.

Then you can do this:

.category-my-category .entry-content,
.category-another-one .entry-content {
    text-align: center;
}

Hope this helps :)

Tom,

Thank you. You've been a great help. I'm mostly happy with the presentation of the 3-line haiku. What I would like is the haiku text to be left-justified, but centered under the logo at the top (example page). I consulted w3schools.com, but could not figure it out.

How might I do this?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
