I want to use two different blog views. Which blog view to use depends on a Custom Post Type value each post have.

If I simplify this a lot it could be like following.

Blog view A:
Display 3 posts
Featured image
Title
Excerpt

Blog view B:
Display 1 post
Title
Featured image
Full page (All content)

Should I modify content.php in my child theme?

Hi there,

how are the two 'blog views' displayed ?
Can you share a URL to both of them ?

There is no website available right now.
This is how it could look like.
Main thing is to have different blog views.

Blog View A:

Post #1

Title
Excerpt

Post #2

Post #3

Blog View B:

Hi there,

Is Blog View A an archive? If so, you can use a Content Template - Block Element to achieve this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/

For Blog View B, you can you a Page Hero - Block Element.

Both should work for Custom Post types.

Or, perhaps you’re referring to something else? Kindly let us know.

Hope this clarifies. :)

It's not an archive.
Right now Blog View B only display one post, but tomorrow it could be 5 posts.
I have just simplified these two views to show my basic needs looks like.

In each post, it will be some integration with other services. I will use custom code (PHP etc) to solve this.

I understand you want to solve this with Block Elements etc but there will a lot of custom behaviors.
