Customizing the Static Front Page – making the preview post smaller

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 10

We are currently using the “static front page” setting with our Front Page set to display our latest posts

http://stouffvillesoccer.org

the problem is that the size of the post consumes the entire home page – meaning that one post takes up the entire home page

We need to make it so that posts only take up a small portion of the home page, and we can have multiple post previews in a small amount of space, rather than one entire post

Can you please advise how we would make this change?

Hello,

There is a big difference between a blog roll and a static page. You are not using a static page on your homepage but raher the blog page that only provides a list of your latest posts. Please read this guide:

A static page can be created and edited in the page builder (visual composer) while the blog can;t
Our theme provides settings for the blog page as well, so you can solve the issue in 2 ways. Either you create a static page in visual composer and add it as your homepage,
or you change the settings for your current blog homepage from the theme panel like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/oo23D826ie

Thank you!

Thank you for your response,

I ended up changing the settings for our current blog homepage to a different layout and the website is now exactly how we wanted – thanks again for your help!
