Hi there.

I have a custom page I have that I want to be the default /blog page.
I have made said page, given it a name and made sure it’s link is …/blog

Setting the page in the reading settings is where it goes a touch weird.
If I set the ‘posts page’ to the one I made, the /blog link shows the page that looks like the default x-theme blog page.
If I set the posts page to ANY other page, it then shows the correct page I made (I assume it for some reason then just picks up the link as set in the page).

The problem is, this then messes up the breadcrumb links at the top when you are viewing an individual post. This will show the actual page I have set in the settings. I’ll post some links etc privately below in a moment.

Any help much appreciated.

Richard.

Hi Richard,

Would you mind reducing the image size and upload the screenshot again?
Unfortunately, I am am not entirely certain what is the issue here.
The blog page:http://www.richardcostin.com/blog/ is showing as expected. The breadcrumbs is correct. Same with the single post page. See attached screenshots.

Always,
X

Hi there,

Blog page is not editable and it generates content automatically depending on existing posts on your dashboard.
So if you add some content to a page and set it as blog page you won’t see the content anymore.

Please add the following code in Customize -> Custom -> CSS :

.x-landmark {
    width: 100%;
    float: none;
    display: block;
}
.x-breadcrumbs-wrap {
    width: 100%;
    text-align: left;
    float: none;
    display: block;
    margin-top: 13px;
}

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for the reply. So there is no way to simply tell the /blog link to point to a static page and not have the theme override it with its own grid system?

Thanks,
Richard.

Hello again. Just to let you know I have worked around the issue by having an arbitrary custom page as the blog in the settings and making that auto redirect to the custom one I want to use. Seems to work a treat.

Thanks again,
Richard.
