Trying to modify single posts page.

Hi there, I’m a bit confused whether you need help with single page or single post layout, as you mention both above.

Trying to modify single posts page.

now I’m having issues trying to modify the single pages.

If you could provide a link to an example of a post or page where you need help and explain what the issue is, I’d be glad to have a look.

I’d also like to change the archives page and other pages to have the same layout but I’m afraid I don’t know the classes for those either, or how to find them.

These tutorials are very useful in helping you locate classes and IDs in a theme. I highly recommend getting comfortable with using your browser inspector – it’s an invaluable tool for making theme customizations.

I’m trying to fix the padding on the single page:

I want it to look like the blog page:

https://rebeccajoneshowe.com/news/

For the blog, I managed to align the featured image by fixing the padding with a CSS overwrite. Just not sure how to do the same for a single post. :S

Ah, that’s a single post.

Each single post has the body class .single, so looking at the other thread, I think what you’re looking for is probably:

.single .site-content {
     padding: 0;
}

Let me know if that does it!

Works perfect!

Thanks for the help!

Oh shoot, I’ve just noticed that at the bottom of the page, the white content floods over onto the footer.

I managed to fix the issue with a <br clear=”all”> on the main blog index, but the single page doesn’t seem to work the same way.

Instead of what I gave you above, try this:

.single .site-content {
  padding-left: 0;
  padding-right: 0;
  padding-top: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
}

That did it.

Thanks again for all the help, Kathryn! Probably would have torn my hair out otherwise!

Glad that did the trick! You’re very welcome and glad there was no hair loss involved. ??
