Create separations on static pages similar to blog archive pages?
5 replies · Started by Marek on April 15, 2020
Hey guys,
On blog posts, there is a separation between the content of the blog and the comment section. There is also separation between each blog post on an archive page.
My question: is there anyway I can create that separation on a static page to visually divide topics and make information easier to consume? Is there a way of doing this without using sections?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi there,
I'd recommend trying our upcoming GenerateBlocks plugin:
https://generateblocks.com/
The container block would be what you are looking for:

Let me know if this helps :)
Hi,
I tried using the Container Block and it didn't create the separation I wanted. I'm not sure if what you recommended was supposed to create that separation visible between different blog posts, or if it was just to help divide information an alternative way.
I would like the body background showing between different containers. Is it possible to get that level of separation you'd see on a blog archive page on a static page to help divide sections?
If not I will continue to block elements together, make them full width, then change the color to divide information that way.
Thanks!
Hi there,
You would need to give the page a transparent content background.
Then you could add containers (using GenerateBlocks or another method), and add a white background to those containers.
Then you'd just need to create the separation with margin. In GenerateBlocks, you could use the Grid block to create columns/add space between them.
Hey Tom,
That's very creative, thanks for the help!
Great support and great theme!
Glad I could help! :)
