Reduce the Gap Between Items in the Divi Filterable Portfolio Module

Written by Dan Mossop

The Divi Filterable Portfolio module is a fantastic way to display projects with style. However, sometimes the default spacing between portfolio items – known as the gutter – might be larger than desired, affecting your site's aesthetics. Fortunately, you can easily customize this spacing with a simple CSS tweak.

How to Adjust Portfolio Item Spacing

To reduce the gap between items in your Divi Filterable Portfolio, follow these steps:

Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

Navigate to Divi > Theme Options > General > Custom CSS.

Paste the following CSS code into the Custom CSS box:

.et_pb_filterable_portfolio .et_pb_portfolio_item.et_pb_grid_item {
       margin-right: 20px; /* Adjust the value as needed */
}

Modify 20px to your desired spacing. This value controls the right margin of each portfolio item, effectively adjusting the gutter width.

Click on the "Save Changes" button to ensure your adjustments are applied.

Note: To apply this adjustment to only some filterable portfolio, replace "et_pb_filterable_portfolio" in the code above with a class set in "Filterable Portfolio Settings > Advanced > CSS ID & Classes > CSS Class".

Adjusting the spacing in your Divi Filterable Portfolio is a straightforward way to enhance visual cohesion, making your website more appealing to visitors.
