Excerpt not showing on blog page

Support
#1

Hi, how can I make the excerpt show on the post listing pages? I’m using Ethos. Also, is there a way to change the layout of the posts to 2 per line (with no excerpts) instead of one? Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing around! I checked excerpt on my local setup and it’s displaying fine. Navigate to X > Theme Options > Blog > CONTENT and make sure EXCERPT LENGTH is set to some value e.g 60.

For the two columns layout, please select Style Masonry and set the Columns to Two via X > Theme Options > Blog

Make sure to disable the filterable index, because enabling filterable index disables masonry.

Hope this helps!

Fantastic! That worked. The filterable index was definitely messing with the settings. Thank you so much!
One more question: the main blog page looks great now with the columns, but how can I get the category pages to display that way as well? (First image is the blog page, second is the a Category page):

Hi,

To achieve that, you can select Masonry Style under X > Theme Options > Blog > ARCHIVES

Thanks

Great! Thank you so much! Is there any way to adjust the style of the way the masonry images are displayed (in terms of font or color of title and background for the title?

Hi there,

These CSS should get you started:

.h-entry-cover:before {
    background-color: #a81213ba;
}

.entry-cover:hover .h-entry-cover:before {
    background-color: #a81213;
}

.h-entry-cover span {
    color: #000;
}

Feel free to change the values.
