Latest Posts Styling

  • Two questions.

    I’m using the latest posts block and the title is appearing under the featured image and is underlined (as it’s a link).

    Is there a way to have the title overlay the image (say in the lower left corner?

    And how do I get the links styled to not be underlined? Is that a broader setting that I have to do or do I have to do advanced and try to style it (and how would I even do that since it doesn’t seem to allow me to set only the “a” to “text-decoration: none.”

  • The “Latest Post” block, like all blocks, comes with basic default styling. This default styling can be (and is often) overridden by themes, and some (but not all) the styling options can be tweaked from the post/site editor.

    A last resort is to use custom CSS to arrive at your desired look and feel.

    how would I even do that since it doesn’t seem to allow me to set only the “a” to “text-decoration: none.”

    Please provide the URL of the page in question so I can examine the HTML and give you the specific CSS code and instructions on where to put that code.

    I’m afraid I can’t. The site is not open and so it’s displaying a coming soon page, so I don’t know how to get by that except through the editor. And I’ve looked at all the styling options, so I’m probably going to have to manually adjust with CSS. I’ll inspect the page code and see if I can find the tags to style. I’m using the twenty-twenty-three default theme.

    All right. I tried and couldn’t get it to move. Here’s what I’m dealing with (I launched it so you could see):

    I’ve tried top, padding-top, and margin-top

    The div I want to move upwards is wp-block-latest-posts__post-title
    I also have to contend with the variable length of the title and the page so that it goes to two lines rather than one. I figured I just needed to bottom align it, but that’s also not something I seem to be able to do in the block style tab.
