    Hello All,

    I recently used the "apollo-free" WordPress template for my blog. However the template displays my index page new stories at different lengths, so the boxes do not line up. You can see it at my blog:

    You can also see how it is supposed to look at:

    Any Suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    Hi Borduhh,

    There are a couple of things you can do in this situation, this is what I'd do (depends on your php knowledge):

    Add an iterator to your loop to give each entry div a unique number, then clear: left every odd number.

    Alternatively, give #content #entries .entry a set height, of around 290px

    Another option is the use a different content excerpt plugin that also filters the formatting, or just be conscious when you write the headings.

    Anopther option is to change it to use the except, rather than a limited description from the main text - then you can determine how much text will show!

    So, there is a few options for you to play with.

    I tried to give the #content #entires . entry a set height but then the text simply keeps moving on...

    You are showing 2 different themes here. I'm not quite sure whether my answer is suitable. But you will have to make CSS and PHP adjustments to make the posts like the referred design.
