[Resolved] remove spare white spaces from alongside posts in Blog pages

[Ohad]

Hello,

My Blog layout is configure to : 2 posts, with First Post Full Width option enabled.

My problem is,

When there are to two posts with a different size in the content (One is Long and the other is Short),
The Short post from the two, has a spare white spaces to match the Long Post.

How can i remove those pare white spaces? this is very ugly..

Hi there,

Have you considered using the Excerpt? https://docs.generatepress.com/article/blog-overview/#blog-content

Masonry would be another option: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/

Hey Leo,

I tried before the Masonry option,
But i really want the First post to be full width, and i cant get this with the Masonry option enabled…

Try the beta version here: https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-5-alphabeta/

It should give you exactly what you are looking for.

Let me know.

Hey Leo,

It seems that this is what i need,
But i prefer to wait for the stable version of the plugin :).

By the way,
Is there any release date yet?

Best Regards,
Ohad

No release date yet but soon.

It’s pretty stable as we are already on beta 3 🙂

Thank you Leo

[Leo]

No problem!

Hey Leo,

I successfully update my GP theme to v1.5.5,

And still have those spare white spaces..

I don’t want to use the “Masonry” option,
Because then the columns are very narrow.

And by the way,
Even if i set the limit, to only 2 columns.
When Masonry option enabled, eventually 3 columns will be displayed..

Is this how it’s supposed to work?

Thanks,
Ohad

Not sure what you mean? Can you link me to the page?

[Ohad]

Of cures Leo,

Here it is: Link

You can see When there are to two posts with a different size in the content (One is Long and the other is Short),
The Short post from the two, has a spare white spaces to match the Long Post.

Unfortunately that’s how columns work – all the blocks are same size.

Maybe you are looking for the masonry option?

[Ohad]

i’ve tried the Masonry option,
but then the columns are very narrow…

[Leo]

Hmm the width of the columns shouldn’t change?

The difference between columns and masonry is the length of the blocks.

[Ohad]

Yes, and by the way,
Even if i set the limit, to only 2 columns.
When Masonry option enabled, eventually 3 columns will be displayed..

Is this how it’s supposed to work?
