    Hi,

    If you see my homepage, I have the latest 9 blog entries set to show up in a 3 x 3 grid in The Featured Posts section.

    Fairly often, this section gets messed up looking – as it looks now. Instead of 3 x 3, some posts end up sliding down and it doesn’t look organized as intended. I have tried to mess around with the options for the post entries in the widgets area, but clearly have not fixed it.

    Could you guys help me out with this?

    Thanks

      It’s due to the height. You can add a height to the featured posts in your css and it wil align.

      Try looking around line 803 in your css and add the height like this –

      .home-featured-posts .featuredpost .post {
      	margin: 0 15px 0 0;
      	height: 250px
      	width: 221px;;
      }

      Gotcha – that would make sense.

      I tried to open the css and I just get 2 paragraphs welcoming me to the css. I don’t know how to look around into the css from this page. Could you point me in the right direction so that I can add in that code?

      Thanks
      Chris

        It should be the Child Theme’s css file. It’s called style.css

              Then I have no idea why its not showing, I’ve never had that happen before. I’d try either searching the WordPress.org forums or making a post there to see if anyone has any ideas.

                To be honest there is no reason to hire me for something that small, I’d rather you just add it in yourself (for free) since it will only take a second. Plus, there’s nothing I would be able to do anyways since you can’t access the Editor for whatever reason. Thats why I recommended asking over at the WordPress.org forums to see if someone can offer some assistance…..since it’s a WordPress issue and not a child theme issue.

                You can also try a Google search for it. I didn’t have much time to get deep into it, but I did do a few searches, but didn’t come across anything. The only thing I can say is to try deactivating ALL of your plugins (including Jetpack) to see if that helps. You may also want to make sure you’re WP account is an admin…..other than that I have no idea what’s wrong with your setup.

                  Also, you won’t really crash your site when dealing with css. If you make a css error, you can still easily go in and fix the mistake. If you are editing PHP files and make a mistake, then you could crash the site.

                  When you do figure out how to access the Editor again, just add the suggested code exactly as it is, and you should be fine.

                    Great! Glad its working. Although you should still be able to access the style.css file, not sure why its not showing. Oh well, as long as it’s working.
