Make Blog Page Look like "Marketer" template

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can use the private information field:

Let me know :)

Hi Leo! I'll drop it in the private info area. Give it about 10 min from the time of posting - I'm running an update right now.

Hi Michael,

Let's try make the same arhive settings as Marketer in customizer:

Once it's done, we can see if there's any CSS needed to reach the final result :)

Let me know :)

Hello! That got us pretty close.

-The "read more" option only appears when the post doesn't have an excerpt written. Is there a way to force it to appear?
-In Marketer, there's sort of a white box around each post that stands out from the background.
-I can open a separate ticket if needed, but I also like the way the "Recent Posts" appears in the sidebar. Do you have the settings for that?

Thank you!

This should help: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/activating-read-custom-excerpt/

-In Marketer, there’s sort of a white box around each post that stands out from the background.

Try this CSS:

.inside-article, .sidebar .widget, .comments-area {
    border-right: 2px solid rgba(0,0,0,.07);
    border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(0,0,0,.07);
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgb(232 234 237 / 50%);
}

-I can open a separate ticket if needed, but I also like the way the “Recent Posts” appears in the sidebar. Do you have the settings for that?

Marketer is using this plugin:

If you have more questions, please open a new topic.

Thanks!

Hi Leo,

-I followed the advice here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/activating-read-custom-excerpt/ - but it also shows up on the home page top section (3 recent posts), and I'd rather it didn't. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Can you open a new topic for the question?

Thanks :)
