 * Hi there! I was wanting to enlarge the book covers in my grids, so I increased
   the “BOOK GRID DEFAULT SETTINGS” in the dashboard. The covers get bigger, but
   they then get squished together and the text remains in the same location as 
   though the container in which the covers are situated isn’t increasing with the
   size. I’ve provided the link to the page in question.
 * Also, the “BOOK GRID DEFAULT SETTINGS” option isn’t increasing the size of the
   covers on the tags grid page, like here: [http://macflynn.com/books/dragons/](http://macflynn.com/books/dragons/)
 * How can I increase the size of those covers?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgrid-image-container-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Whelp, the first question turned out to be my own idiocy, so sorry about that.
   Definitely my bad.
 * Though I’m still curious how I can change the size of the covers on pages excluded
   from the “BOOK GRID DEFAULT SETTINGS.”

 * Okay, I’m an idiot again and forgot about the size adjustment in the Book Grid
   settings (I only hope I can be used is a learning lesson for someone else).
 * BUT there is one question I do have that might not be obvious in the dashboard:
   how can I change the padding/margin/distance between covers in a grid?
 * Something more like this distance apart: [https://www.keriarthur.com/books/lizzie-grace-series/](https://www.keriarthur.com/books/lizzie-grace-series/)

 * Other than using some custom CSS code, the way to reduce the space between the
   books is to make the book covers larger. The space between the books is calculated
   based on the size of the covers. You’ll have to experiment to find that “sweet
   spot” that has the covers closer together but not so large there’s only 2 covers
   per row.
 * Does that make sense?

 * That does make sense, but the covers are as large as I want them at their current
   300px height. I’ve tried finding the right container and class/id that corresponds
   to the padding/margin between the books, but so far that’s a fail.
 * I’m (sometimes) decent with CSS. Is there a specific class/id that controls the
   spacing?

 * Using this should work. Adjust the number to your liking:
 *     ```
       .mbdb_float_grid {
          width: 200px !important;
       }
       ```

 * Whelp, there’s my problem, I forgot to use the !important part for overriding.
   Thanks so much!
