Hello Gilles,
Thanks for updating in!
1.) Regretfully there isn’t a feature that displays the post items in a news scrolling manner. You might be able to use the Classic Slider element and then utilize the dynamic content to display posts in each slides. To know more about dynamic content, please check this out:
2.) The post grid is using the large image size. If you can change that image size, you might be able to have a more horizontal image size. Please go to Settings > Media and change the image sizes. Install Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and then run it.
5.) Is that page a custom post type? If that is the case, since you have your child theme active and ready, please follow these steps below:
a.) Using Notepad or TextEdit or Sublime Text or any text editor, please create a new file in your local machine.
b.) Insert the following code into that new file
<?php
// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/RENEW/_LANDMARK-HEADER.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Handles content output of large headers for key pages such as the blog or
// search results.
// =============================================================================
$disable_page_title = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_entry_disable_page_title', true );
$breadcrumbs = x_get_option( 'x_breadcrumb_display' );
?>
<?php if ( ! x_is_blank( 1 ) && ! x_is_blank( 2 ) && ! x_is_blank( 4 ) && ! x_is_blank( 5 ) ) : ?>

<?php x_portfolio_filters(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
c.) Save the file named as _landmark-header.php
d.) Upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/legacy/cranium/headers/views/renew
We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.
