Altitude Pro Featured Posts – side-by-side not stacked

[martag]

Hello!

I'm working on a site where the client wants their blog feed to be in a column of the 3 most recent posts - side-by-side and not stacked top to bottom. Is that possible?

I would share a link to the site but it is on my clients hosting staging server and not visible to the public.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

Altitude Pro was designed so you can lots of differen arrangements. It's controlled by how many widgets you put in each widget area. Check out the instructions below;

The closest to what you want is either number 4. Or number 7, if you wanted more blog posts to appear.

So, assuming you go for number 4, in the widget area you want the blog posts to appear you would put four widgets. The first one could be a text widget (with the title 'From the blog' or whatever) or entirely empty if you want. - it's just there to cause the correct layout you need. The next three widgets in that same widget area would be featured posts widgets. one for each post. Just offset the second one by 1, the third one by 2, to make sure the same post doesn't appear twice.

This will make them appear side by side.

Thanks David! You have totally made my day!! I had thought of that but couldn't figure out how to always have the 3 most recent.... and you answered a question I've been curious about and never got around to asking... what "number of posts to offset" meant!!

I soooo appreciate it!! Love it when I learn something new 🙂
