Can I customize the top of my Posts page?

I'd like to add a header and intro text to the top of the Posts page? Is this possible?

Thank you, Leo! I understand how to do this for regular blog posts...but does this also work for the Posts "home" page? I have a header and content on a page right now...but when I ask that page to be the Posts page for the blog, those elements don't show up on the page itself, only on the edit view.

Hi there,

for your home page display rules you would use the Location: Front Page

Thanks David...but I have a different page already set up for the front page! I'd like to keep my current home/front page, but want to add content to the top of the Posts page. Hopefully that makes sense now.

Is this possible within GeneratePress? Or with a free plug-in? Or even a paid plug-in?

If you have create a page to display your Posts, and set this in Dashboard > Settings > Reading then the Display Rule is Blog

Thanks again, David.

I'm sorry, I don't see "Display Rule" anywhere on the Settings>Reading page...

Thanks...I think I get it! I'll try…

No problem :)

OK, guys, I'm back at it. Thanks for your patience with me!

I think I'm getting the Header Element idea. The problem is: I don't code! So the HTML Content part is intimidating me.

I'm doing this for a client who gave me the header content and some body text for the Blog posts (home)page. Can I hire one of you guys to put the Header Element(s) together so I don't have to mess with it anymore? I'm not techie and really don't want to mess with code...especially since that's something I feel like is assumed knowledge here.

I can give you all the content plus a couple sample pages on other websites my client likes.

Thanks! Please let me know :)

I haven't seen this, Leo — thanks! I think it'll help me out enough to give it a go :)

So, I think I'm doing everything right! But this header isn't showing up on my page. Is there a way to attach some screenshots?
