Bootstrap Blog Layout with Generatepress

Note: when I quoted the bootstrap examples in the first link, I was referring to the Blog example in that link. Thanks!

Hi there,

You could get close by:

1. Setting up columns in your blog: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/

2. Make the first post featured.

3. Setting the featured image to align right: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adjusting-the-featured-images/

The rest would likely just be CSS tweaking.

I don't suggest adding the entire bootstrap library to GP, as a lot of it would be unnecessary. However, if you export the parts you want, you just need to add the CSS file to your site using a child theme :)

Hi Tom,

I'm sorry to push further but do need your expertise.

When you say export the parts and all, I get that you need to go to the Bootstrap customisation page here:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/customize/

But beyond that, I have no idea what to do next after compiling the file.

Please help!

First you'd need to upload the downloaded files to your child theme (https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/).

Then you'd need to add a function to your site to reference those files. Something like this: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/174503/90661
