I was running the Newspaper 6 theme without problem when I switched to the Child theme the top Big Grid separates http://screencast.com/t/ejhWXd3FY3 http://www.pebblenews.com When I switch back to Newspaper un-childed it goes back to normal.

Any suggestions whats going on?

This is what you should have:

.vc_row {
  margin-left: -24px;
  margin-right: -24px;
}

But you actually have yours loading on the page as -15px for each. It’s shrinking the overall width of the container, which forces the parts of the grid to stack like that.

You can enter the above CSS rule in the Custom CSS editor or you can have whoever fix that in their custom code, as that’s how it got changed to begin with. If you’re trying to change the width of the page container, you need to resize the grid elements to work with the narrower width as well. Highly unlikely to have any other cause. You might try reuploading the child theme from the latest version of Newspaper to make sure it’s up to date.

I would check the child themes style.css for the source of modification, since it’s best to remove the mod than to add another mod to counter it.

Good luck.

For the sake of being thorough, here are the screenshots showing my explanation clearly:

BEFORE (using -15px) –

AFTER (using default -24px) –

Notice the .vc_row style in the bottom right in each version.

Great Thank’s! It funny because some pages show fine but may be due to the size of the Grid. I will try to remove the Child and Re-Install making sure its current! If not change the css code.

Thanks again
