Hi,
i’m trying the vantage theme with wamp server.
I have some articles on the post loop and i want to display a thumbnail on the left for each post. Is it possible ?
NB : I’ve checked the display the featured image box on the settings.
And i want to add a read more button on each post too. Is it possible ?

    Ok, so after reading this page https://siteorigin.com/vantage-documentation/theme-settings/blog-settings/
    i choose small icon as featured image type but i have to put the image as “à la une” to display the small icon and the image is now shown as a bigger image on top of the article…

    And can i display the small icon next to the text and not next to the title on the excerpt ?

    Hi Geoffrey

    Option One:

    We ignore widgets and Page Builder for now. Make sure no Posts page is selected under Settings > Reading. Head to your Blog page and select the Blog page template from the right column. Note: no content will be rendered on this page. This page will be governed by the settings found at Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog. You can only choose at this stage between Blog, Circle Icon and Grid.

    Option Two:

    You insert the Post Loop (PB) widget wherever you want in any Page Builder area. You’ll have similar settings to Theme Settings > Blog but will manage these settings just for this widget in it’s settings.

    The setup you want is, I think, Option One with Blog Archive Layout set to Blog and Featured Image Type set to Small Icon. If you want to use the More tag then set Post Content to Full Post in Theme Settings > Blog.
