How to show recent blog posts on a page built using Cornerstone

[McCabe]

Hello,

I’m curious how to show recent blog posts on a page built using Cornerstone - i’m trying to achieve the look seen on the website www.fiercemarriage.com

It looks like they have other sections above, on the side, and on the bottom of there recent blog posts. How can I do this? I’m not interested in simply using the older “classic recent post” tool, since they’re too small and you can’t read the actual post, like on the site.

Thanks

Hi there,

This just looks like what the Recent Post element can display as it has a featured image, date, and post title in the block. If it is the font size you are concerned about for the recent post element, you can simply add a custom CSS to increase the font size like this:

.x-recent-posts .h-recent-posts {
    font-size: 18px;
}

.x-recent-posts .x-recent-posts-date {
    font-size: 15px;
}

Hope this helps.

No, I’m sorry, it’s the post on the left side of that picture. Could you look at their website? If you scroll down a little, you can actually see blog posts and read and excerpt as well. Its like a posts page, but with a bunch of other widgets and sidebar stuff. I’d really like to know how to do that. Thanks!

Hey There,

The example url is using a 3rd party plugin Smart Tabby plugin. It is a combination of a widget added in the sidebar and the recent post items loaded in the tab contents. Regretfully we do not have this kind of feature in the X theme. You will have to install this 3rd party plugin to be able to achieve what you have in mind. This is a great feature to add in our X theme by the way. We’ve added this as a feature request so it can be taken into consideration for future development.

Thank you for your understanding.
