How to get home page posts aligned one on top of the other

[Fabio]

Hi there!

So basically I want my home page latest posts to look like these ones:

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/

one on top of the other!

Now instead I have one big post and then two small underneath the big one and next to each other

Hope it's clear... sometimes my english is not the best!

🙂

Thanks!

What you need to do is change the settings in your home.php file:

'features' => 10,
			'feature_image_size' => 0,
			'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
			'feature_content_limit' => 200,

features - set this to the amount of posts you want to display on your home page. Example 10
feature_content_limit - set this to a content limit which aligns with your featured image. Example 200

Feature posts will display full content width.

Grid posts will display side by side in 2 columns.

Do not use the settings for the grid loop or your posts will be displayed in a grid.

'grid_image_size'		=> 'grid-thumbnail',
			'grid_image_class'		=> 'alignnone',
			'grid_content_limit' => 0,

Hey Brad,

thanks for your reply!

So basically before I destroy my theme function, could you please tell me where to paste those lines of code?

What I understood from your reply is that I need to find where this is:

'grid_image_size'       => 'grid-thumbnail',
            'grid_image_class'      => 'alignnone',
            'grid_content_limit' => 0,

delete it and substitute it with this:

'features' => 10,
            'feature_image_size' => 0,
            'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
            'feature_content_limit' => 200,

is that correct?
Thanks!

Simply change the values in your home.php file to match the first code snippet http://www.studiopress.community/topic/how-to-get-home-page-posts-aligned-one-on-top-of-the-other/#post-46039

No need to do anything with the other code.

No pasting needed.

Hey Brad,

thanks.

I've tried but I lose the paragraphs....

is there any way I can keep the paragraph? Otherwise it looks like a sea of words..

Thanks!

[Brad Dalton]

Change the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives to the thumbnail size and use the content limit in your home.php file to set the best limit so the content only aligns with your thumbnail.

It will strip out HTML formatting so you will lose your paragraphs which is why i suggest you keep it to a smallest content limit.

So basically there's no way I can keep the formatting?

[Brad Dalton]

Not that i know of. You could use large featured images and a small amount of text.

Such a shame...

Thanks anyways for your help!

How about the "Advanced Excerpt" plugin?

Is that going to work?

Advanced Excerpt

[Brad Dalton]

Never used it but it looks like you have the option of keeping the HTML markup in the excerpt.

Hey thanks Brad!

It doesn't work with the latest version of wordpress....

I can't believe there's no solution to this 🙂 and I thought there was a solution to everything!

Well, if anybody that reads this thread knows how to do it, please tell us!

Thank you
