So ive just gone self hosted but i am really struggling to get my blog page to look how i want it, i dont want nothing too fancy, i just want to be able to display my latest posts, popular posts and posts that i have under a certain category. Help please.
Hi Maria
It sounds like you’re looking for a way to set different post loops in order to display posts from different sections of your site. One option for that would be:
1. Plugins, ensure you have Page Builder by SiteOrigin installed.
2. Plugins, also install SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle and Widgets for SiteOrigin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-for-siteorigin/
3. Go to Plugins > SiteOrigin Widgets and ensure the Blog widget is activated.
4. Go to Pages > Add New and create a demo page to experiment. Click on the Page Builder tab next to Visual and Text and click the Add Widget button, search for the Blog widget, insert it and then experiment with selecting the categories and layout you want to display.
Here is the basic documentation for using our Page Builder plugin:Page: Getting Started With Page Builder
Here is the documentation for using the Inked Blog widget: http://widgets.wpinked.com/documentation/blog-widget/
Above is my idea for how you might construct the page you want. You could also reach out to your theme’s support team and ask them if they have any recommendations for achieving the page layout you’ve outlined above.
Alright thank you, i will take a look at it, wish me luck haha
For sure :)
