Struggling with Blog Layout #5

Open JakobRied opened 1 year ago

JakobRied commented 1 year ago

I really like this template and would like to build my own blog around it. However, I'm still a beginner with Wordpress and couldn't figure out how to implement a layout that shows the latest blog posts. When I click on "Blog" in the sidebar, I'm just taken back to the home page, not to a page that lists all the posts as in the demo. I would like to implement the same blog layout on the landing page as in Anders' other theme "Eksell". Would be great if someone could help me! :)

Hi @JakobRied,

The menu that is included in Björk when you first activate the theme is just a placeholder, so you need to replace the menu items with ones pointing to the pages on your site. Follow the steps below to link to a blog archive page in your menu.

  1. Create a page called "Blog" and one called "Front Page", if you don't already have them on your site. If you do, skip to the next step.
  2. Go to Settings → Reading, change "Your homepage displays" to "A static page", and set "Homepage" to your "Front Page" and "Posts Page" to your "Blog" page.
  3. Go to Appearance → Editor, click the "Blog" link in the sidebar, and update the URL to point to the "Blog" page on your site. You can search for it by name in the URL field. Also click the menu button to open the mobile menu overlay, and update the corresponding link in the mobile menu.
  4. Done! Let me know if that does it.
