Display Featured Articles on front page

shortcut501

I am looking at the best way to show featured articles on the front page in this template. I have copied the content into a custom module and displayed it in position masthead. I was hoping to leave the content in the articles. When displayed as a module the left and right margin is too tight and on a mobile phone is hard to read. Maybe creating a margin in the module is an option?

Can I just check you were aware of the ability to add home page content to the home page?

The quickstart will have home added to the "skip component section" which hides the article are if selected

Learn something every day. Thanks.
The features page now appear but they seem to be inside a column and take up half the width. Can this be spread across a page. I checked in the Menu Home Layout #Leading Articles=2, #intro Articles=0,#columns=1.
Sidebar-1 is where the articles appear. I placed another module into sidebar-2. The spacing is not right on a wider page.

Could you share screenshot of how you want it should be?

And share the credentials of your site so I can check for you.

If you look at https://membershipadmin.com.au/vraweb/ you will see the Features articles do not expand across the page. There is a wide gap before the sidebar-2. I would like to make the Feature articles on the home page wider - to the right to reach near "The Latest Events" column.
I will give you a login if that really helps.

Hi,

You can try with this custom CSS code:

@media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
  .itemid-101 .blog-featured .item-ct {
    width: 100%;
  }
}

put into the file: [root]/templates/ja_company (your default template)/css/custom.css (Create this file if it doesn't exist)

Regards
