Hi, I have created a view using Blocks. It looks almost like I want it to look like but inside a container block there is a featured image and underneath that a post title with a coloured background. There is a gap between the coloured background area of the title and the bottom of the featured image. I was able to lessen the gap of other fields under the title as those blocks had margin and padding options but there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of styling options for the title block. How can I get rid of this gap please.
I’d also like to be able to add Age: just before the custom field ‘age’ which displays the numerals you see. I guess I’ll be able to do that by viewing the html code and editing it but if that’s not correct could you help with that too please.
Many thanks,
Barry.
Is there any documentation that you are following? No
I spent all morning on this and eventually I managed to blunder my way through and it's looking fine now. Blocks simply doesn't work for me. What I see on the edit page does not show me what the finished published page looks like and selecting an image size for the featured page and clicking save worked then 2 seconds later, the image size went back to what it was before without me touching anything. I get so frustrated with blocks. I can create gorgeous Post Grids in seconds using Elementor or Unlimited Elementor Post Grids but I can't add custom field data or sort the posts using a custom field so I am forced to struggle with Blocks.
In the end, I added -20px to get rid of the gap then by chance later I saw the alignment options for the image blocks and I set it to wide and for whatever reason, that made the -20px margin overlap the title so I set the margin back to zero and all was perfect. Very odd. I also removed the post title with link block and replaced it with a post title block because that gave the block all the styling needs I wanted. I don't know why the title with link block has no typography styling. Anyway, very clunky and very time consuming but I have what I want now. I can only hope that blocks will be improved and made easier to understand. Without it I cannot make the sites I need but I have to struggle so much because to it. It seems a shame.
