Hello, Wes!
We recently upgraded to WordPress 3.9.1 on our site, and upgraded to Optimal 1.3 running on Genesis 2.0.2.
http://www.buckettripper.com/
Our home page Featured Posts immediately misaligned if we use any other setting other than “none” for Image Alignment under “Show Featured Image.” We are using the 270×150 thumbnail as featured image.
So we took care of that setting, only to find that displaying any more than 3 featured posts caused the next one to align right below them, much like the problem I’ve had with portfolio alignment in Epik. We tried cutting back to just 3 featured posts in a featured posts widget. However, it is still misaligning the header text of the next widget below it, as you can see under the “Summer Fun: Beaches and Water Sports” header on the home page. Tried inserting a <br/> or two in a text widget between the two featured posts widgets. Still no luck.
Appreciate your guidance. Thank you.
