Hi, for my site double-glazing-windows.co.uk I am using the eastcoast template but it won’t let me edit the blog archives page and it uses the standard template which doesn’t look presentable.
I create a new page called “articles” (/articles) and created my own template. Then in the WP settings, I changed the blog page to “articles”. But then it enforces the same standard template again and I cannot see my own layout. Please help
Hi,
You can create your own blog page, and after set the blog page here -> https://i.imgur.com/n3QYYIT.png You can import what blocks you want from tagdiv Cloud Library.
Thank you!
Yes that is what I did.
I created a page called “Articles”. I customise it with cloud library blocks. It looks like this for example: https://prnt.sc/Jv50u3UhI6qb
But when I change the posts page on settings>readings>Posts page to “Articles”, the green button “Edit with TagDiv Composer” button disappears and the appearance reverts to default layout and does not show my customise design. It looks like standard template again when I set the post page to my custom design: https://prnt.sc/p5rcGqXXOEQ6
With the post page set to “Articles”, it says “TD Composer is disabled on Posts page” and does not permit me to edit the page via the cloud library. See this link: https://prnt.sc/cJiaBgRzfjuA.
Again the appearance becomes just a standard layout despite that I customised it prior to setting it to Posts Page.
Oops I meant this is the standard template: https://prnt.sc/Jv50u3UhI6qb
And this is the customised blocks BEFORE making it a posts page as you say: https://prnt.sc/p5rcGqXXOEQ6.
So as soon as I make it a Posts Page, it reverts to the standard template.
Hello,
It is not necessary to set there the blog page; you can add the page to the menu. Yes, you can no longer edit the page with tagdiv Composer after you set the page, but you can design it first and only after setting it there if you want it to be there.
Thank you!
Hello Anamaria
I’m facing the same problem. I understand that you recommend that a Posts Page not be selected in Reading Settings, but this makes a difference because it influences SEO. Yoast prioritizes this page configured there in the WordPress sitemap list. Therefore, I would like your guidance so that it is possible to at least minimally customize the page configured as a “post page” where the posts are displayed in a flex block with only the title and the featured image and not the full article as is currently the case.
Note: I tried to follow your recommendation to “you can design it first and only after setting it there”, but it didn’t work as expected. I created a new page, customized it using TD Composer, and only then selected it as a Posts Page, but it didn’t work. Could you give me a step-by-step guide on how this would work?
Thank you in advance for your support!
Hello,
Yes, there will be only a list of the posts. You need to create a page as you want and set the link in the menu. It does not need to be set in the Reading section.
Happy New Year!
