[Resolved] Homepage Settings –> Posts page

[Christopher]

Hi Guys 🙂

I am playing around with GeneratePress and Tom’s plugin WP Show Posts. Is it possible, using WP Show Posts, to make the posts show as they do by default when choosing the Posts page through the “Customize” functionality in GeneratePress?

Best regards

Christopher

Hi there,

‘out of the box’ the two are not too dissimilar – for example the Dispatch site in the GP Site Library:

https://gpsites.co/dispatch/

The first section below the Header Grid is WP Show Posts which is comparable to the Blog which is GP Theme – there is a little CSS at play but thats more for the style of the site then out of necessity.

The WPSP Pro version does provide more control over font sizes and colors which is where the free version would require CSS.

Lets us know if theres anything particular you need help with.

Hehe, thanks 🙂 But I don’t mean an avatar photo for my profile. I would like to add a photo here in this particular thread, showing what I need help with 🙂 Is that possible?

[Leo]

Ahh sorry I misunderstood.

You can use a service like this and provide the direct links here:

No worries 🙂

Can WP Show Posts be set so the posts look like this:

It is how the default “Posts page” looks in GeneratePress 🙂

[Leo]

Sorry not quite sure if I understand.

Are you referring to the 2 columns style with the image on the left and text on the right?

If so yes WPSP can do that.

Um, no. As you can see on the photo I linked to, it is a one column setup 🙂 And each post is a separate visual “block” in the layout. If you look at the photo I link to in the previous post, I think you will see what I mean 🙂

[Leo]

I did look at the photo but was a bit confused about what I should be looking at.

And yes you can make WPSP like that.

Okay, great 🙂 Can you tell me how?

I want each post to fill the entire content area and be it’s one “card” with spaces between them. Just like the image shows 🙂

Thanks again for the help 🙂

[Leo]

Can you link me to the page where the shortcode is added?
