    I'm using the Authority Pro theme for my portfolio, and using the "blog" area in the demo as a showcase for my portfolio pieces. It defaults to 3 columns wide, is there an easy way to get it to be 1 or 2 columns (so the images can be bigger)?

    (Under "Selected work" in the attached URL)

    Thanks in advance!

    In style.css around line 1815, change the width from 33.3% to 50% like this:

    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry, .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry {
        float: left;
        padding: 0 35px;
            padding-bottom: 0px;
        width: 50%;
    }

    If you want 1-column, use 100% as the width.

    Thank you! Unfortunately it's staggered for some reason:

    Also, how can I tend make sure that it leaves it as one column on mobile/tablet?
    Thanks!

    Find this entry and change the (3n+1) to (2n+1) as shown below to remove the staggered look. The layout will automatically respond to mobile devices as normal. Test it in DEV tools in your browser.

    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1), .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1) {
        clear: left;
    }

    Yeah, I added them both in the Customize > Additional CSS area:

    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry, .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry {
        float: left;
        padding: 0 35px;
            padding-bottom: 0px;
        width: 50%;
    }
    
    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1), .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1) {
        clear: left;
    }

    The styles in the customiser are commented out , remove the comments completely for now or move the comment closing tag to the right place on the first comment.

    Yeah, because it was breaking my site/leaving the images staggered and didn't want to leave it published like that. It's there now with the 2 code snippets from above.

    try changing the values directly in the style sheet rather than the customiser.

    line 1815

    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry,
    .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry {
    	float: left;
    	padding: 0 35px;
    	width: 50%;
    }

    line 1826

    .flexible-widgets.widget-odd .featuredpost:last-of-type .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1), .authority-grid.archive:not(.woocommerce-page) .content .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1) {
    	clear: left;
    }
