Hello,

In my footer, and right panel like the demo, I have the 8theme recent blog posts widget with thumbnails.

On both, the author and date is not formatted correctly, and goes to the left wrapping under the post thumbnail, just looks bad.

Can you please tell me how to a) remove the “by” author and date (display:none), so it is just the blog post title, maintaining a tight little space right there… and also b) how to make that text, link, author and date, just left-aligned going straight down to the right of the thumbnail, if I choose to keep the meta info there?

Also how do I decrease the line-height for that text area?

Thanks. Just want to prevent the text from wrapping under image and looking bad.

WP admin and FTP in previous ticket Private box but I don’t think you need it. Thanks for all your help.

Scott

Hello,

a) Unfortunately property “display: none” can’t be used for the “by” author and date. This section can be removed only by editing the file wp-content/themes/legenda/framework/widgets.php. Comment or delete the code in lines 368 and 369:
<?php _e('by', ETHEME_DOMAIN) ?> <strong><?php the_author(); ?></strong><br>
<?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?>

b) Try to use the following css code:
```
.recent-post-mini .postimg {
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
```
Use this css code to change line-height:
```
.footer .recent-post-mini {
    line-height: 150%;
}
```
Set the value to your needs.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.
