Creating a custom blog page layout

Support
#1

Hi,
I know this is beyond your level of support. But if you could just point me in the right direction. Im trying to have a custom layout for my blog page. Im attaching an image. I have notes here for my developer. But bascially you can see my grid of . blog posts that displays below this header that Im trying to add. This is my main blog page. Ive hired a developer to help with this but even he is confused. Can you tell me the basic steps Id need to take to achieve this??

TIA! Rena,

Hi There,

Upon checking your website, I could see that you’re using Renew stack.

  • All the category, archive, blog pages are using the same template x/framework/views/renew/wp-index.php, so you should setup a child theme then copy this file to the child theme in the same directory after that edit it.

  • To display the posts filter on the blog page only, you can try with this function is_home:

  • The get the first post with featured image and excerpt, please take a look at this:
  • The email form you can use the email form extension:
  • The posts grid you can use the grid or essential grid plugin:
  • For more information, please also take a look at this:
