Fix element margin in Flex Box 3?

Posted in: Newspaper

When I add a new post to In Audio Reviews (created with Flex Box 3) at https://jazzjournal.co.uk, the bottom margin usually extends or contracts, even though I keep the excerpt length the same and post number at 7.

I want this box to remain the same size. At the moment I have to adjust the bottom element margin almost every time I post a new article to the Audio Reviews category.

Is there a way to fix its depth?

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately the flex block size is auto set after content of posts, only if you change from the excerpt word on litter in this way is possible to obtain what you need, but if excerpt is sat on word, the length of word can differ .

Hope this will help you!
Thank you for your understanding!

Many thanks for your reply, Calin – I understand (hence “Flex” box, I suppose) but this would be a very good feature to add here – then I could load posts without constant adjustment to element depth.

I see that setting characters could fix this but it doesn’t look professional for a publication to end words half way through! You know journalists! Please consider make element depth fixable in next update. Newspapers would love it.
