Title: margin problem Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # margin problem * [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * (@orangytrendy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/) * Hi, * I like the idea and simplicity of this theme but I’d like to separate the posts on the homepage a little which I’ve achieved by adding a margin * .hentry { margin-right: 15px; } * the problem is that by doing this it creates a second row and adds one post there. I guess it’s a width issue but I don’t know where – can you help please. * Roger Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Rommel Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rommelxcastro/) * (@rommelxcastro) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157595) * can you share an url? so i can take a look at * Thread Starter [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * (@orangytrendy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157652) * sure, [http://www.otrend.co.uk/](http://www.otrend.co.uk/) * Thanks * [Rommel Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rommelxcastro/) * (@rommelxcastro) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157727) * i found the issue, but we might need to touch the theme core files, i’ll try to contact the theme developers and submit a patch * Thread Starter [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * (@orangytrendy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157742) * Rommel, that’s great – thanks for your help.

The usual way to make this type of change is though a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), but this function isn’t pluggable (can’t be modified through a child theme) so that won’t be possible. * [Rommel Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rommelxcastro/) * (@rommelxcastro) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157827) * [@orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) i’ll take a look again tonight, i’m pretty sure i tested and it worked, i’ll let you know how it goes * Thread Starter [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * (@orangytrendy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157828) * Thanks Rommel, sorry o be a pain * Rog * Thread Starter [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * (@orangytrendy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/#post-6157829) * Kathryn, Thanks for the heads-up and good point. As you say, it wont work in this case but in general child themes are the way to go * Rog Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘margin problem’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/boardwalk/1.0.13/screenshot.png) * Boardwalk * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/boardwalk/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/boardwalk/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/boardwalk/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/boardwalk/reviews/) ## Tags * [margin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/margin/) * 17 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [orangytrendy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangytrendy/) * Last activity: [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/margin-problem-3/page/2/#post-6157857) * Status: not resolved
