    Hi guys,

    I need help extending the number of featured post on the executive theme. Currently, it only holds three items across the screen width. I would like to have four.

    I was able to change the css for .home-middle .widget &.home-top .widget from 33% to 25%. I also had to change the float property to right. This and some extra padding allowed for all the post to align correctly with the Read More.. options all in align as well.

    Right now, I'm finding myself adding media queries to the css across different browsers, meticulously playing with the padding across different break points.

    What I need help with:
    1) Is this the correct way to proceed and if not can you please tell me the simple solution?

    Well, that is ONE way to do it...

    but yeah, if you mess with it that way, then you are going to have to work some CSs magic in there to make sure that it looks nice depending on the media queries.

    But really, the CORRECT way is they that YOU KNOW HOW to do.

    I would probably hack the template and put in another widget area, but that is just me.

    Can you explain to how adding a widget area would help?

    I know how to register and hook widgets. I just feel like I would still be in the same position however. If I was to drag four genesis featured post into the widget area.

    In case anyone is wondering how I fixed this problem. I used the inspect element for my browser.

    Target the following css areas:

    1) .home-middle .widget:nth-of-type(?n+1) .home-top .widget:nth-of-type(?n+1)
    ( Replace the "?" with the number 4, this selectively picks the featured page aligned with the left margin)

    2) .home-middle .widget, .home-top .widget areas. Here you would want to decrease width of each post to get the all the items to fit into the widget area.

    3) You may need to play with the margin areas to get the alignment correct. I was able to use the outreach pro template for css help, which featured four post by default.
