To access its settings, click on the **g****ear** **⚙️ icon** or click directly on the element. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-1732028378098.png) ### Top Margin ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-1751891362357.png)The **Top Margin** setting lets you control the space between the current container (section, row, flex, and element) and the container directly above it. If no previous container exists, the margin will be applied relative to the parent container. If no preceding container is added, the **Body** will be the parent. You can set top margin values independently for desktop and mobile by using the device icons (🖥️ & 📱 ). If no mobile value is specified, it will inherit the desktop setting by default. Use the slider or manually enter a value in pixels (`px`) or percentage (`%`) to create consistent spacing across screen sizes. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-1748441653595.png) ### Filters The **Filters** settings allow you to control which posts are displayed:![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image(346).png) - **Filter Active Post**: Check this option to exclude the currently viewed post from being displayed in the list of blog posts. - **Filter By Categories**: Show only blog posts that belong to a specific category. When selected, you can choose a category from the dropdown menu. ### Collection Settings ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-HLHJSWMM.png) The Collection Settings let you configure how grid items (cards) are arranged and paginated inside the container. - **Items Per Row**: Choose how many items appear on each row of the grid. The layout will wrap to new rows and adapt on smaller screens automatically. - **Items Per Page**: Set the total number of items rendered on a single page in the container. If the collection has more than this number, ClickFunnels creates additional pages. - **Hide pagination**: Turn pagination on or off. When enabled, page-number controls are removed and all eligible items render in one continuous list. For very large collections, consider leaving pagination on to improve load time and navigation. - **Pagination Item Color**: Color of the pagination items’ text/icons (e.g., the numbers 1, 2, 3). - **Pagination Item Background Color**: Background color for non‑active pagination items. - **Pagination border color**: Border color around each pagination item. - **Pagination Active Item Color**: Text/icon color for the current (active) page item. - **Pagination Active Item Background Color**: Background color for the active page item. - **Pagination Active border color**: Border color for the active page item. > [!TIP] > Tips: > > For accessibility, use pagination colors with sufficient contrast so page numbers remain easy to read. ### **Advanced Settings** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-1748535637061.png) To further customize your container (section, row, column, and element), ClickFunnels provides **Advanced** settings that allow you to control style, advanced CSS, animation, and rendering logic.
