I’d like to add a whole (short) blog post to our homepage that includes all of the formatting in the post. All of the filtered post blocks I can find strip out the formatting of the main content and just show it in the “excerpt” style. I don’t want to hardcode the block of content because it is something that my client wants to update daily by editing a post.
See the first top block in the center of this site: http://www.coronaviruswatch.com
There are supposed to be other colors and bold type in the post that is being pulled into this space, but they are all stripped out in the excerpt view.
THANKS
Hi,
I think that you can achieve this using the blog option instead of the static page -> https://i.imgur.com/lWJ9AO8.png also you can choose the style for blog like this -> https://i.imgur.com/BXJdP2f.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
So I would have to recreate my whole homepage? I only want one filtered post to show up at the top of this homepage. If it’s not possible to do with a post block, let me know. I may need to find a whole different solution. Thanks.
Hi,
Maybe I do not understand correctly what you want to achieve, if you want to set a block on your homepage set a filter on it, you can do it using tagDiv Composer and use a flex block -> https://i.imgur.com/l2Tcgjm.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/ghlYtth.png -> https://i.imgur.com/k8EYjQv.png -> https://i.imgur.com/xF7Hoda.png
If this is not what you mean, please provide some more details!
Thank you for your understanding!
Thanks, Calin. I know I’m probably not using all the right terminology.
What I have currently at the top of the homepage is a flex block pulling in a post (in the way that you’ve illustrated). However, the post content is styled as an excerpt which means it’s stripping out links, bold type, paragraph breaks, etc. I was just hoping to find a flex block that allowed for the post content to come through rather than just an excerpt.
Hi,
Sorry, unfortunately the style set inside the post/article will be display wit our theme only inside the posts, this will not reflect in flex blocks on your homepage, these are individual settings for posts and blocks/modules.
What you can do is to set a part from your post with html in excerpt zone like this -> https://i.imgur.com/4SUZvQ7.png -> https://i.imgur.com/lK1T8Pg.png -> https://i.imgur.com/enRgclc.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you for your understanding!
