Blog posts in columns in section of Homepage

Support
#1

I would like to add a row of 3 columns on my homepage with selected/latest blog posts. In each column I would like there to be the feature image, title & meta description.

How can I do this? Thanks

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

You can use classic recent post module to show your post as per your requirement. You can set number of post and row or column format in the module setting.

Hope this is something you are looking for.

Thanks

I really don’t like this format as it doesn’t show the whole title & the meta… can I customise this?

Also I want to show some selected posts too in another section - how could I do this? Thanks

Hi There,

Regretfully, the Classic Recent Posts element is not capable of what you need, and regretfully we can not provide support for modifying any Cornerstone element.

I advise that you use a 3rd party recent posts plugin instead to output a very flexible recent post content. Something like the Display Posts Shortcode It does offer a lot of parameters, like having excerpt/summary or outputting a specific post. It may look very raw at first but that is one thing good about it, it is fully styleable (with CSS).

Thank you for understanding,

Ahh that’s really disappointing. Not sure why Classic Recent Post is set up so the title is cut off…

Display Posts Shortcode has too much customisation for me, if I set up columns they don’t show up properly on mobile.

I think I will just create an image and then a text box under it

Hi,

To make the title display the full title, you can add the code below in Theme Options > CSS

.x-recent-posts .h-recent-posts {
    text-overflow: initial;
    white-space: normal;
}

With regards to mobile, the columns are set-up to display in one column and on top of each other.

You can check the demo page in mobile to see how it is arrange.
