# Format like standard WordPress Post

 * Thanks for a great plugin! Display Posts works great for routing specific posts
   to specific pages.
 * The issue I have is, that when displaying posts and excerpts, Display Posts puts
   the author on the same line as the title. I want the author and date on the line
   below the title. Is there a Display Posts template for this?
 * Thanks for any suggestions.

 * Display Posts does not include any styling built-in, so you can customize the
   look with CSS.
 * To display the posts in a format like this:
 * Title
    Author Date Excerpt
 * You can use the following CSS (in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS):
 *     ```
       .display-posts-listing .title { display: block; }
       .display-posts-listing .excerpt { display: block; }
       .display-posts-listing .excerpt-dash { display: none; }
       ```

 * Thanks Bill!
 * That fixed it. I was looking at a more complex solution when there was a simple
   one right in front of me.
 * Thanks again, and thanks for a great plugin!

 * Mr Erickson, I don’t care what other say about you, I reckon you’re alright.
 * I respectfully suggest you make this post sticky for the less frequent WP developers.
 * Full respec’.
