Hello,

On the TwentyEleven Theme, with the showcase template applied as the static homepage, I’m trying to decrease the margin on the text of the “Featured post”. So in other words, I’m trying to move that text to the left so it gets more space in the width, while leaving the image where it is right now.

Example of what i mean can be found here:

I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance,
Jordy

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Apologies, again I forgot to mention, this IS on a child theme. So please do help me 🙂

Try adding padding:0; to .featured-posts section.featured-post and take it from there.

Thank you, that did move it all to the left, but whenever I try to put in a value for “padding-left” so

padding: 0 0 0 10;

it jumps back to the old position.

Then add the left padding onto one of the inner elements of this div. I recommend using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.

I am using the “inspect element” debugging on Chrome.

Thanks, will see how far i get.
