Post Padding

    On my child pages (exhibits, events, and classes) I am hoping to alter the padding. Essentially I would like the rows to be less structure and have the bottom of one post touch the top of the one below it.

    Additionally, is there a way to eliminate the “Read More” conclusion. I would also like to make the title bold and possibly add a subtitle. Is that possible?

    Hi there,

    On my child pages (exhibits, events, and classes) I am hoping to alter the padding. Essentially I would like the rows to be less structure and have the bottom of one post touch the top of the one below it.

    I noticed you have some sub-pages (like this one) you have set some to have featured images, and for some you do not. For the ones that don’t, it seems like there is a lot of white space, compared to neighbors that display a featured image.

    Is that the padding you are referring to? The extra whitespace on pages that don’t have a featured image in the grid?

    Additionally, is there a way to eliminate the “Read More” conclusion.

    It’s not possible to remove the read more link, as that is added automatically by the theme, where is cuts of the text (taken from the child sub-page) the page at a certain point.

    However, it is possible to create your own custom teaser text if you like. You can read more about how to do that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

    But your custom excerpt will also have a read more link, that the theme adds automatically, and this is how visitors navigate to the child sub-page.

    I would also like to make the title bold and possibly add a subtitle. Is that possible?

    It’s difficult to add a subtitle via CSS, but one thing you can try instead to actually add text to the grid page. For example, if you edit the Events grid page, and add a bit of explanatory text, it will appear in the area above the grid.

    You can see that in the demo here, just above the grid thumbnails: https://edindemo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/

    As for making the page title bold, it is already bold, so you may want to try enlarging the font size instead.

    You can try the following block of code, entered into the CSS tab of your site customizer here: https://wordpress.com/customize

    Here is the code to paste in:

    h1.page-title {
  font-size: 60px;
}

    If you like you can tweak that CSS value to find what works for you. Feel free to experiment, and be sure to save your changes when you are done.
