Hi,
I am new to generate press, and have few question about customizing the blog page in wordpress. Can you help me out,
1. How to fully customize each post inside a post grid. For example:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao_IDj5T4-QLbCl7oJuDZwIl-dI?e=8uXDYT
2. How to add the search field to the blog page, so that I can search the posts by keyword, by date, by category
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao_IDj5T4-QLblt2aMdrNpBngbw?e=euBX4A
3. How to change the pagination style, for example:

Thank you for any help you can offer :)

Hi there,
1. This will require the content template in the upcoming GP Premium 2.0 which is currently in Alpha 4 stage.
Here is some info:

2. You will need to find a plugin for that then add it with a hook or header element.
3. CSS is required. I can help if you can link me to the page in question.
Please keep one question per topic in the future so it's easier for us to track and help with the issues:

The default WP Search is pretty limited.
You would need a Search plugin if you want more control, theres quite a few such as Search and Filter and Ivory Search - anything more powerful is generally paid for eg. https://searchwp.com
You can add to it your page using the shortcodes they provide using a Block Element.
Hi David,

Have a nice weekend :)
Nam,
Glad to hear that!
