Hi Tom,
I have recently purchased the premium version of generatepress. It's a great wp theme. But how can I create a custom blog page which you can find in the attached image.

I would like to display Author's picture & featured image as thumbnail version in the blog page.

Kindest,
Abhishek

Hi there,

At this time, you would have to create your own custom blog template using a child theme - if you have a basic understanding of HTML/PHP/WordPress, this isn't too hard.

I do have plans to add more blog layouts to the Blog addon in the near future.

Thanks!

Hi Tom,
Do you have any link where I can learn to create child theme for generatepress & when do you plan to add more blog layouts to the Blog addon ?

I don't have a set time-frame, but it's one of the next items on my to-do list.

Here's a good guide on child themes: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wordpress-child-themes-dev/

Remember, ignore the part about @import in the stylesheet - this is not necessary using GP.

What you would have to do is copy the content.php file in the generatepress folder, and paste it into your child theme's folder.

Then alter the HTML/PHP to suit your needs.
