Can I show posts differently on my home page than appear on my blog page

By MRBBKitt, 10 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 10 years ago.

Right now, I like the home page to show 4 posts across in column format…though I would like more text to appear than it currently does. But, on my blog page, I would like the entire posts to appear and not just show an an excerpt. How can I have the home page posts appear differently than my blog page? see my text site URL if it helps. http://www.thebandsatmarvinridge.org/newsite/

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Robert

    To have four posts show in a column format you’d need to use the Carousel or Grid template. The Grid template is the only one of those two that’ll show text from the Excerpt field. That is however restricted to 55 words. The grid loop does have a fixed height excerpt field so you might not be seeing all 55 words right now. To expand that excerpt space insert the following under Appearance > Custom CSS and edit as required:

    /* Vantage Post Loop – Grid Template – Expand Excerpt Space */

.vantage-grid-loop article .excerpt {
height: 4em; 
}

    Change 4em as required. This will accept a px value too.

    To have full content shown on your blog page set the post content to full under Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog.
