Wow Thank you guys so much.
Please one final thing i really love to put on my static homepage is to place some categories to showcase their respective pots like this in the picture 
Is it possible to do that?
Hello Kingsley,
You can make use of the category option in the recent posts element settings.
This option will allow you to display post items in the same category only.
Hope this helps.
Yea. But i want that category name label at the top. Just like in the picture
Hello Kingsley,
You will need to add a text element and add the category name. You can also style it to have the color and the border just like in your screenshot. If you want, please provide me the url and the credentials so that I can create an example for you.
Thanks.
Is it my site url? And what kind of credentials
Hey There,
Yes your site details. Would you mind providing us the url of your site with login credentials?
To do this, you can create a secure note with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
To know how to create a secure note, please check this out: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/how-to-get-support/288
Thank you.
I have done that
Hi Kingsley,
I have created you an example page.
Please check the secure note.
I clicked the link but it’s blank. It’s not showing anything
Hello Kingsley,
You must be logged in because it is a private link.
Please check it out.
Am logged in already, but it’s still blank.
From your pic, i like how you did it.
But i would really appreciate it if you can also style the arrangement of the posts like in the picture i uploaded. Just like how the coffee post displays its title and exempt. Then the other posts just stay beside it, showing only there titles.
Hello @Kingsley,
I am not why you are not seeing it. I can edit the page and view the page live.
You should be able to see it when you edit or view the page.
Wow. I have seen them now. I prefer the second one you did. The final thing now is making the first post to show its full title and its exempt (maybe 30 characters or something suitable). Then the other posts showing their titles only
It seems like the page needs to make use of the site wide full width so that the featured pictures of the posts beside the first post will display better, instead of cutting.
Hello Kingsley,
Certain changes were already made to my example post. Adding the post excerpts by the way will require customization. And because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.
Once your child theme is installed, you can follow up on this thread to know how you can have a recent posts element with an excerpt: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/recent-posts-show-excerpt/13934/2
Thanks for your understanding.
I have installed a child theme.
I have read the thread. But mehn, that’s a lot of codes. I don’t even know how to add them. Please can you do that for me? The child theme is now activated.
Hey Kingsley,
I have made the necessary edits for you. Please check the page now.
You can also make use of the template “Category Post Items” since I already saved the section as a template.
Thank you.
Yea I have seen them and it’s perfect. Thank you so much. So how can I add the final example that you made to my homepage now?
Hello Kingsley,
Please edit your homepage back in Cornerstone. Go to the Layouts tab and insert a template called “category post items”. To know more about the templates and how it works, you can check this out: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/template-manager/20364
Regards.
Yes I have seen it now. Thank you.
Wait. The last one you did with an except is not included in the template.
Hey There,
The excerpts will not display in the preview area. It will only appear when you view the page live.
Thanks.
