Can't customize blog page

    I can’t get the customizer to tweak the blog page.

    I’m switching to Optimizer from another theme (mostly switched at this point), and all I want is for the layout on the blog post page to a) not have thumbnails and b) not go full-width when the rest of my site is boxed.

    I went through the steps in the Optimizer documentation for categorizing posts, applying the Blog Page template, pointing WP to that new page, and going back to the customizer, but it still shows all of my posts, full-width, with images.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi

    Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Post & Page -> Blog Page Settings -> Blog Page Thumbnails and turn it off.

    And insert this in Appearance -> Customize -> Miscellaneous -> Custom CSS to narrow the width

    .lay4 .center {width:70%;}

    Thanks

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

    No such luck on the fix, unfortunately. It looks exactly the same as it did before.

    Hey, this time it got me closer! I must have pasted it incorrectly last time.

    Now the blog page only somewhat “overhangs” the main layout, which is a step in the right direction. I still see thumbnails.

    Hi

    Insert this in Custom CSS

    .blog .lay4 .post_image {display:none;}
.blog .lay4 .post_content{width:100% !important;}

    Can you kindly rate the theme? It would mean a lot to us:

    That got rid of the images — thanks!

    Now the overhang is all that’s left. I’ve tried fiddling with percentages, and everything else I could think of, but nothing has gotten the blog post page to match the rest of the site. (I’ve undone my fiddling.)

    Rating left. Thanks again for all of your help.

    Hi

    Set the width to 60%

    .lay4 .center {
    width: 60% !important;
}
