[Support request] Simple Blog

[Leo]

Not quite sure if I understand.

Can you explain a bit more?

Where are you seeing it in the customizer?

[Serkan]

Sure,

I’m here in the Customizer
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oovxRVhRDwdwd4wYOyE5Gnak9BhPIL6e/view?usp=sharing

But among all pages, it did not appear

Check under Posts.

[Serkan]

unfortunately not, only the posts themself

[Leo]

Sorry?

What you are seeing here are posts:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oovxRVhRDwdwd4wYOyE5Gnak9BhPIL6e/view

You should be able to find those under Dashboard > Posts.

What you are showing here are pages Dashboard > Pages:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fA6uuuZhgtHX9WJRvgSW4kks3myjeaQk/view

Let me know if this makes sense 🙂

[Serkan]

somehow 🙂

I always had the understanding, that I customize the page in the customizer. Because when I visit my Domain it shows me exactly what I’ve set in the customizer. Now I’m not sure, how do I work on the “page level”

[Leo]

Pages and posts are quite similar.

An article like this might help:

Got it. So basically, if I manage my Blog I work mostly with posts and not with Pages and if I decide to adding a start page, I’m creating a Page… right?

[Leo]

Yup that sounds about right 🙂

Hi,

I have a question regarding further customisation for my Blog. I do understand now how Pages and Post differ, but how can I change the main “Blog Page”
For instance I want to add a featured post grid above my Blog Posts just like it looks on Dispatch Theme from the site-ibary: https://generatepress.com/site-library/

I’m not sure if I can do this with generatepress. I’ve tried to achieve this with elementor, but that’s where I stuck right now, I don’t know which Page I have to adjust.

Can you guys please advice me, how to do?

thanks in advance

So the posts page cannot be edited like a normal static page – it’s a WordPress thing.

You can try using header element or hooks element to insert content into the blog page though:

If this doesn’t help or if you need more assistance, any chance you can open a new topic so it’s easier to track the issues?

Thanks 🙂
