Spacing between posts?

    Greetings all.

    I have a question/problem about spacing — my posts are squished together in a way that doesn’t look terribly nice (the “leave a response” link is bunched up against the last part of my post and the start of the next post). I would also like to fiddle with the title/author part of the post, which looks unevenly spaced. I’m using the Pinblue theme and will attach a link in a second.

    The other piece of (possibly) relevant information is that the posts in question are not part of my main feed. I’m using the “blog-in-blog” plugin to categorize some of my posts onto a separate page, and those are the ones that are squished. The rest of my posts, on my main page, are in a tile format and I don’t want to change them at all.

    I have an inkling that the solution lies in tinkering with the code of the Pinblue theme — if this is the case don’t be afraid to explain it in verrrrry simple terms… I’m pretty new at this stuff.

    Many thanks in advance!

  • Can you also post a link to a blog page that has the style you want? You mention that the main feed posts are not affected.

    Thanks,

    Hi Afzaal,

    Thanks for responding. Here’s an exemplary blog:

    https://kaymcgriff.edublogs.org/

    The author info is immediately below the title, and then a space, and then the text. And at the end there’s a space and a faint line separating it from the next post.

    Yes I am hoping not to affect the main feed posts on my site — they’re arranged in a tile format that I’m happy with.

    Many thanks,

    Jeff

    Hi, sorry for the delay. It seems as if the template used on the problem blog page is not the same as the one used on the blog page you prefer. I’m guessing this is because of the plugin.

    We can try a fix, but I worry that this might cause some conflict on other areas of your site. Add the following to the style sheet of your child theme and see if your happy with the look:

    header.entry-header {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
h1.entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.post-headline h2 {
margin: 0.9091em 0 0;
}
.post-bodycopy {
margin-top: 1.5385em;
}
.post-comments {
padding: 2.4999em 0 0.8333em;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #ddd;
}

    If you notice any conflict let me know and we can adjust this code if needed.
