What CSS do I need to show the excerpt for example on each post listing on this page? (I assume it would appear over the picture in the first two, and under the featured image for the other posts… ) Thanks! https://www.hownottosail.com/category/podcast/

Hi,

Grids don’t show the excerpt of posts, only blocks (not all of them however). For grids and the blocks that don’t show the excerpt, this can’t be enabled with CSS.

However there are many types of blocks that you can use, such as the predefined types
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Use the top switcher to see them all – http://prntscr.com/nsbeya
Some of these will show the excerpt, so you could use one that does.

Besides the predefined blocks there are also flex blocks, these are highly customizable blocks. Here are some examples created by us – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks each one can be imported through the cloud library plugin provided with the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
You can design your own flex blocks as well, as you want.

So the best way is to use different types of blocks, ones that show the excerpt. But grids can’t show excerpts unfortunately, they are not supposed to.

Thanks
