How do I change my news page to a posts page?

How do I change my news page to a posts page without it coming up as home page? And how can I design a posts page without replies/comments? Do I just treat it like a page and not a post? Thanks

Hello @Meadow11,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

I am assuming that the news page is currently home page. Under Settings > Reading I think you have selected latest post to be displayed in home page. You can change the settings in the same page by selecting a static page as home page. https://cl.ly/251Q0s3s2W0d

You can disable comments from Settings > Discussion. You can also take a look at following tutorial.

Thanks.

Thanks for replying - no, the home page is different - and static. I only want posts on the News page but it doesn’t look like posts can be designed to match the rest of the site…

Hello @Meadow11,

Thanks for updating thread. :slight_smile:

Can you please share your website URL along with few screenshots on how you want the posts to look like? Maybe I can share few CSS codes that will help you to point in right direction?

Thanks.

Thank you - it’s lusciousorganics.co.uk/news …but I can live with it as a page and just keep adding sections, if that’s easier… I would also really like to get the background colours right across the width of the page so the pages match the home page but just can’t work out how…

Hello @Meadow11,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

You can increase the page width to 100% of the screen canvas. Try adding following CSS under X > Theme Options > CSS:

.page .x-container.max {
    max-width: 100% !important;
    width: 100%;
}

Upon adding the code, output should look something like as shown in the screencast. https://cl.ly/332Q3K0Q2b3J

Thanks.

Thanks - however, I have just updated Wordpress and the code all disappeared in the CSS section. Also, my footer has changed and the picture I put in has disappeared…

Hello @Meadow11,

Sorry to hear that.

Before updating WordPress did you took a backup? It’s quite strange that updating WordPress removed CSS codes. You can get in touch with the hosting company generally they keep backup of your folder. If they have, just make a request to restore the same.

If the hosting company does not have backup then can you please share WordPress and FTP login details in a secure note so we can take a closer look? Image not showing up may be because of file might have got deleted or link getting affected. Please share login details (url/username/password).

Thanks.

Hi - thank you… yes, the update definitely lost a few things but I’ve simply re-added them.

Hi There,

Glad what was lost is not too much and you are able to readd them.
If you still have issues, let us know. Like the footer issue on your previous reply. Is it sorted out now? In case we need to check directly, feel free to share credentials on a secure note. Thank you.
