      Hey,
      I’ve got a problem with the newsfeed-module.
      It works fine except the width, its too wide, so the text overwrites other modules. (newsfeed is centered).
      So .wrap doesn’t work.
      I tried it with CSS to fix the width, but than the “wrapped” text is still on the left side and not centered.
      Is there a possibility to center the “wrapped” text in the CSS-File or is there another option for me?

        From stackoverflow. I have not tested it.

        This should center the wrapped text as well. In custom.css file, add :

        text-align: center;

        Create a working config

          Thank you. I tried this css-setup. The lengh is fine, but the center-function doesn’t work.

          newsfeed-desc { width: 700px; }
          text-align: center;

                @schlittrix yes

                u can specify lots of style elements in a single class like that

                for readability you should put the contents on separate lines inside the braces
                like this

                newsfeed-desc { 
                     width: 700px; 
                     text-align: center; 
                }

                  thank you so much :)

                    }
                    

                    so i tried this step without success…
                    When I just have the “width”-line, the text is wrapped, but not centered.
                    But when I put in these code with text-align, nothing happend and the text is no more wrapped…

                    any ideas? :(

                      newsfeed-desc { 
                          width: 700px;
                          display: flex;
                          justify-content: center;

                        but it still doesn’t work…
                        this is my config-setup:

                         {

                                                                }
                                                        ],
                                                        showSourceTitle: true,
                                                        showPublishDate: true,
                                                        broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                                                        broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                                                        showDescription: true,
                                                        wrapDescription: true
                                                }

                        and this is the css-file:

                        newsfeed-desc {
                            width: 500px;
                            display: flex;
                            justify-content: center;
                        }
