 * Hi – does anyone know if there is a way to have the post lists show up with space
   in between the various posts? Right now they are very crowded together and not
   sure if there is a parameter to set this.
    Thanks!

 * Hi [@ajmheynow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajmheynow/)
 * I have plenty space vertically:
    See: [https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/testimonies/](https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/testimonies/)
 * Using: `[catlist name=(christian-testimonies) orderby=title order=asc numberposts
   =300 author=yes title_tag=b]`
 * And for single-line verticvl space:
    See: [https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/all-prophecy-articles/](https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/all-prophecy-articles/)
 * Using: `[catlist id=1 numberposts=100000 orderby=date order=desc numberposts=
   250 pagination=yes instance=1000 ]`
 * I hope this helps.
 * I’m here trying to find how to get more space horizontally in the first sample–
   to separate the title from author 🙂
 * Regards and thanks,
    Angus

 * Hi [@ajmheynow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajmheynow/)
 * Sorry…. I only gave half of the first answer.
 * First complete version should be:
 *     ```
       <div>
       <div style="line-height: 2.5em;">[catlist name=(christian-testimonies) orderby=title order=asc numberposts=300 author=yes title_tag=b]</div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Regards and thanks,

 * Thank Angus – this works for putting in spacing evenly throughout the post list,
   but the problem is that if a particular article title is long, the second line
   of the title is also being spaced, which looks weird. Also, i’m using excerpt
   text, and I don’t want that spaced out. So, ideally, what I’m looking for would
   look like this:
 * **POST TITLE**
    excerpt text excerpt text
 * **POST TITLE FOR A
    REALLY LONG POST
   
    excerpt text excerpt text
 * **POST TITLE**
    excerpt text excerpt text
 * any ideas?

 * To do it properly you need CSS. The way the LCP plugin is supposed to be used
   is to adjust the layout with CSS code or in custom templates, as per the documentation.
 * In your case you could try adding something like this to your custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .lcp_catlist li {
           padding-bottom: 20px;
       }
       ```

 * This worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
