Did you installed any Post or Post Type Order? Please try to deactivate it and try again the ordering. (related question)
Your theme needs to support Post Thumbnail, please go to https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails to read more info and how to activate it in your theme.
First, please uncheck the Use Default Style option then place the css code below on the Additional CSS panel on Customizer, then you can customize it to fit your needs
.rpwe-block ul { list-style: none !important; margin-left: 0 !important; padding-left: 0 !important; } .rpwe-block li { border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; list-style-type: none; } .rpwe-block a { display: inline !important; text-decoration: none; } .rpwe-block h3 { background: none !important; clear: none; margin-bottom: 0 !important; margin-top: 0 !important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 1.5em; } .rpwe-thumb { border: 1px solid #eee !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 2px 10px 2px 0; padding: 3px !important; } .rpwe-summary { font-size: 12px; } .rpwe-time { color: #bbb; font-size: 11px; } .rpwe-alignleft { display: inline; float: left; } .rpwe-alignright { display: inline; float: right; } .rpwe-aligncenter { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .rpwe-clearfix:before,.rpwe-clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table !important; } .rpwe-clearfix:after { clear: both; } .rpwe-clearfix { zoom: 1; }
I know it’s not good but I have a good reason, the !important
is to make sure the built-in style compatible with all themes. But if you don’t like it, you can turn of the Use Default Styles and remove all custom css code in the Custom CSS box then create your own style.
