Excerpts on blog posts are not centered

  • Hello Forums,

    I need your help! Every time I create an excerpt for my blog entry using this theme, they end up being too much to the left underneath the Title, instead of centered. I want the layout to be aesthetically pleasing, so it is important to me everything is centered while scrolling down through the site. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi @southshoresports!

    Two ideas come to mind – one is that something is off with your site’s CSS and needs to be adjusted. I’d need to take a look at the page to see.

    The second possibility is that you’re using really short excerpts. Are they short enough that they fit on a single line?

    The text on your home page should be centered in a specific section of the page, but within that section, the text is actually aligned to the left. If your excerpts aren’t using two lines, I can see how they might look off center.

    Try a longer excerpt, just as a test. If this is the issue, you can add the following CSS to center the text of your excerpts inside the content area:

    .entry-summary {
    text-align: center;
}

    A good way to add CSS is to use the Additional CSS panel in the Customizer (assuming you’re running at least WordPress 4.7) or with something like the Jetpack Plugin using the Custom CSS Module.

    If that doesn’t solve the problem, feel free to drop a link to your site and I’ll take a peek!
