Hey Ben, the snippet to remove the page title including the underline worked!

But it seemed to leave a lot more empty space than necessary in its place.

Any way to tighten that up (specifically for this page) so the top element I write on the page would be where the title normally is, rather than underneath the invisible space that seems to be reserved for the title?

Let me know if that needs clarification. ??

That worked perfectly, and looks so good! Thank you! ??

Is there a custom CSS bit that will remove the title block of a specific “page”? (by default it’s a big font with a line underneath it)

Thanks Ben, I tried this but it didn’t have any noticeable effect.

It was a “page”, not a “post”, but when I edited it, it had a post ID of 703.

So I put this block of custom CSS at the bottom:

@media all and (min-width: 56.25em) {

  .postid-703 .entry-container {
    padding: 0 10%;
  }
}

(NOTE: I tried with and without the space after the post ID before the period)

And it still seems to have the same width-margins as all my other pages and posts.

Any ideas?

That did the trick! It had a side effect of making the image larger in the M+T control, but I adjusted it back down and everything looked the same.

Thanks SO much for your help! ??

I was reading about the benefits of the Pro version of Tracks, and all the features make sense – but I was wondering specifically about the feature that gives you greater control over featured image sizing.

In the free version, you can’t always get pixel-perfect versions of the images exactly as you want them in all cases as they will sometimes be cropped at the top and bottom. I’m curious how the pro version addresses this and allows pixel-perfect image sizing in these cases.

Thanks Ben, I added that snippet, but it didn’t seem to change anything. ??

Here’s what I currently have in the CSS related to media-text:

.post-content .wp-block-media-text {
  max-width: 100%;
}
.wp-block-media-text .wp-block-media-text__content {
  padding-right: 0;
}

The test link is the same as above.

Any ideas?

Hi Ben, I changed the text size to match the rest of the post, and the media + text element still has more padding than just standard text with a left or right-aligned image. Here’s the example:

Notice the difference in padding between the two examples, and I have your additional CSS from above active.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much, love the theme!

Thanks Ben, tried this and it did improve, but the extra padding on the right side of the text is still noticeably more with the media+text element than it is with just normal text. Is that just the nature of the media+text element?

Thanks! That indeed fixed the collapsing text, but I noticed the text line breaks farther from the edge of the post when it’s part of a Media + Text block than a normal text block.

The result is something like this:

-----------SAMPLE POST----------- <- Edge of post is here.

Here is some text in a standard
text box which includes some
line breaks.

[                ] Here is
[  Media + Text  ] how text 
[                ] breaks
[                ] away from
[                ] the right
[                ] edge.

Is this expected?

I am using Tracks Version: 1.72, which appears to be the latest as I don’t see an update available.

The category CSS label had to be all lowercase (to match the slug for it in the Categories list) but that worked like a charm.

Thanks so much! ??

A category would be perfect! I can define a category named ImagesOnly and would like for the excerpts to be a full-width featured image only (no text) for that specific category.

Do you need me to do that and give you a link? Or could you post the code just based on the category name?

Thanks in advance!

Kevin.

That was the ticket. Thanks so much! ?? ??

Thanks so much, Ben – definitely worked. ??

However – I noticed that the padding is different when an optional excerpt is used as opposed to an automatic excerpt taken from the post itself with a read more tag. Very strange.

If you mix and match them, you get different results… so I had to standardize all posts to use the optional excerpts.

Just something to note.

Thanks Ben! Is there any to apply this to only posts with no text (or of a certain tag/category) rather than globally for all excerpts?

Oops, apologies, I found the CSS snippet here which worked:

.entry .featured-image:after {
display: none;
}
