posts not showing correctly

We are looking to switch our old twenty-fourteen based child theme to something a bit newer as recent WP updates seem to have broken the old theme.

So when customising PressBook News w/ Dark child, I’m noticing 2 main issues:
1) The posts are not displaying correctly (feature image, h1, h2, etc) seeming to be split into columns.. not as shown in the demo image.
2) How do we get the main content are to be full screen (80% width) responsive?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @ppnsteve,

1) You can check the options in “Appearance” > “Customize” > “Blog Options”.

(a) Here, for option “Blog Archive Post Layout”, you can set this to “Thumbnail-Content – Rows”.

(b) Also, make sure, the option “Blog Archive Content” is set to “Summary” instead of “Full text”.

2) You can use this CSS to increase width of the main area and overall width (Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS):
```
@media screen and (min-width: 1480px) {
 body.double-sidebar .u-wrapper {
  max-width: 1360px;
 }

 body.double-sidebar .site-main {
  max-width: 700px;
 }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1560px) {
 body.double-sidebar .u-wrapper {
  max-width: 1420px;
 }

 body.double-sidebar .site-main {
  max-width: 760px;
 }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1640px) {
 body.double-sidebar .u-wrapper {
  max-width: 1460px;
 }

 body.double-sidebar .site-main {
  max-width: 800px;
 }
}
```

Got the first item almost sorted.. We do have summary set but it’s duplicating parts of the posts (go check the live site to see what I mean)

Will try that CSS and let you know..

Top banner block isn’t working correctly.. showing as a paragraph, not reading the pattern/block I created for it.

Thanks
Steve

It takes account of the excerpt (summary), you can read on how it works. We have this guide here.

Also, you may test our theme on a fresh site to understand more on how it would show the excerpt.

When you use “Thumbnail-Content – Rows”, it shows the content in rows instead of side-by-side.

OK I figured out what was creating the weird post summaries.. I had used a plugin, “Auto Limit Posts Reloaded” to set custom limits in twenty-fourteen. Deactivating it resolved issue.

So far so good.. will give it a week or 2, then purchase the upgraded version.

Thanks again
Steve
