Motoring now - thanks to Dan and all the clever soles for their kind help.

Can anyone suggest ways to improve the grid layout in the Print Shop ?

It’s terrific on mobile but leaves huge white spaces between rows and I’m struggling to tidy it further.

Any other comments for site improvement generally would be gratefully received.

Have you designed shop yourself or copied snippets from store? The reason I ask is if you did it yourself go to ELEMENTS and change breakpoint’s and adjust the padding/ margin section. If you copied a snippet then you need to go to code and change the padding number to whatever you need.

Thank you Paul !!

No - I’m reasonably happy with my margins and padding etc.

It’s the big white spaces between that I cant control

I suspect the grid cells all assume the length of the cell with the most content - If this is the case … then maybe I should have 2 or 3 seperate grids - each with content off similar lengths.

… unless somebody knows a clever trick ??

Thanks again Paul

Check the grid alignment for the grid. Try setting the content alignment to Start if it isn’t already. I think that will help achieve what you want to do. I don’t think it will entirely correct the issue, because your content in each grid item is not equal, but it should eliminate some of your issues with it.

Thank you Steve - there are so many controls for Grid - I’m just trying them all like a drunk trying to land a 747 : )

No problem if its not margins then its the gap setting you need to look at. as @dan said drop a copy of project and he’ll have a look at it.

Ah-ha! Just set the “Rows” to “0”, you don’t need to specify them, a grid will just stack up the items.

Here’s a quick video to show you how to do it…

It’s easy when you know how 😊
