Customizing Homepage/Archive: Spacing, Excerpt Font Size and Color

Hi there,

the simplest method would one to use a GP Block Element Content Template for the archive page.

In the content template settings sidebar there are some Templates to choose from which would get you started. You can then design the look of your individual posts in the blog and archives.

Thanks, but that’s really not helpful at all. Are you suggesting I need to buy and install a new plugin just to make a simple change?

No. The GenerateBlocks plugin you need is Free. It’s what we use for the majority of our GP Site Library builds and allows you to visually design your own templates in the GP Elements module.

But that method is overkill if you just want to reduce the space on archives. Here is some CSS for that:

body:is(.blog, .archive) .inside-article .post-image {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
}
body:is(.blog, .archive) .inside-article .entry-summary {
    margin-top: 1em;
}
