[Support request] How to design something like Dispatch?

Hi there,

This post should help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-put-something-like-this-on-my-front-page-homepage/#post-1439597

Let us know 🙂

So I can’t really do anything fancy with WPSP unless I’m a CSS wiz? I mean, I didn’t even need the Pro version for this.

WPSP Pro lets you adjust styles within its UI. It also has pre-built templates to choose from.

..And what if I want something like this?

Some parts can be done w/ WPSP Pro features but will also need CSS codes.

If you check the customer’s site from the GeneratePress topic link provided by Tom, you’ll find the WPSP part very similar with this one. (overlay, hover animation, etc)

By the way, I saw some color settings, but couldn’t find how to change the background color of the title/excerpt. I bet there’s a CSS out there 🙂

You can browse through the CSS codes you’ve added and change the background-color property value of these CSS selectors.

.wpsp-card .wp-show-posts-entry-title {
    background-color: [add color value here];
}

.wp-show-posts-entry-summary {
    background-color: [add color value here];
}

If you don’t want it visible, you can change the value to ‘background-color: transparent;’

While Pro version can style things within its UI, you are definitely correct that there will still be times where we have to rely on custom CSS as there are styling features that are yet to be added on WPSP Pro UI. Don’t worry about it. 🙂

WPSP Pro is in active development. It’s still growing in its features.
