Blog page Questions

[tkcostello]

Hi there,

I have a web client (https://alderwood.cc/blog) who is wanting to help on their page. Hoping for some answers and help is possible:

1. It is possible to show the post title on the Blog page? we can see them on the other pages (https://alderwood.cc/compassion-center/,https://prnt.sc/rj7dgr that they are pulled into, but they are not showing up here: https://prnt.sc/rj7cmv unless we set it to show full article versus excerpt.

2. How do you get a side widget on the blog page that would show featured blog posts? Is this possible?

3. Can the thumbnail of the posts also show categories? https://prnt.sc/rj7e1u

I appreciate any help! Thank you.

Hello @tkcostello,

Thanks for writing in!

1.) Your post titles in the blog index and archive pages do not display because you have added this custom css:

.entry-title {
    display: none;
}

This code hides the post title. Please remove this custom css instead.

2.) You have set the site to have a fullwidth layout in the global settings, X > Theme Options > Layout and Design > Content Layout. This is global so all of the pages, posts and archive pages will become fullwidth. If you want to have a sidebar, please change the layout instead.

3.) The screenshot shows the recent posts element. This will only display the latest post item, its featured image, title and date only. Editing this element will require custom development which is way beyond the scope of our support already.

Hope this helps.

Awesome, thank you for that! I have removed that CSS for the post titles.

Forgot to ask, is there a sorting feature for this page? To be able to sort either category, etc?

Hello @tkcostello,

You are most welcome.

The category filter option for the blog index is only available in Ethos stack as shown in the demo here:

• https://demo.theme.co/ethos-1/

Best Regards.

Ah, Boo. I haven’t used Ethos before.

Thanks anyways for the feedback!
