Hi,

i try to figure out how you did this in your example: http://theme.co/x/demo/icon/3/blog/ – please help. In my local-installation with all the demostuff you described it doesn’t show.

thank you in advance

Hey Jens,

what exactly is different on your local installation? This is an Icon blog overview page with a sidebar that is using a Recent Post widget and some other default widgets on the right side. Other than that the post formats got certain background colors which you can set in the Customizer but when you download the Customizer demo content you already got them. The only thing you need to do is to create a Blog page and go to Settings > Reading and set a static page -> assign the Posts page to the Blog page.

Hi, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it doesnt work. i tried it also online, just in case something went wrong with my local installation.

I ve done everything as described. Also everything works fine, except this detail that the sidebar the images doesn’t show. only the titles from recent posts are shown. It is the normal recent-post widget, nothing special.

You can take a look:

Hey Jens,

Sorry for the confusion. This is using one of our shortcodes in a text widget to achieve this look in the sidebar. Try the following out in a Text Widget:

[recent_posts count="3" orientation="vertical"]

Thanks!

[Jens BParticipant]

Yes! 🙂 It Works! Don’t know that shortcodes also work in text-widgets. Great plus! 🙂 Thank you!

Glad it works now. If you need anything else let me know!
