[Resolved] "Blog" Add-on not appearing in Customizer

[Clare]

Hi Tom,

I have activated the Blog add-on. At the moment I have a static home page, and I am using my /blog page for recent posts. That’s set as it should be in customizer.

When I open customizer and go to the /blog page, the Blog Add-on doesn’t show up. Any idea how I can get it to do so?

Still getting licence failed, I’ll send over my licence key to you via the contact form as you requested.
Thanks

Hi there,

If you’re viewing the page set as the posts page (Settings > Reading) in the Customizer, the Blog section should appear.

It will also appear if you’re viewing a category or any other archive page.

Ignore this please, it suddenly appeared 🙂

Thank you so much Tom – it wasn’t appearing to start with but it’s fine now 🙂
You are a star!
Many thanks from New Zealand!

HI again Tom

So it worked that one time and now when I navigate to the blog page and go to the customizer it doesn’t show up again… what could be the problem?

[Tom]

Hard to tell, what I do know is when it will show up based on conditions:

$blog = ( is_home() || is_archive() || is_attachment() || is_tax() || is_single() ) ? true : false;

is_home() = your posts page
is_archive() = any archives page
is_attachment() = any single attachment page
is_tax() = any taxonomy page
is_single() = any single post

If any of the above is true, it will display.

I resolved it by logging out and logging back in. I think it was my server being slow or something. Thank you for all the help!

[Tom]

Glad it’s working again 🙂
