This video here is either missing some crucial elements or does not work as stated.

There is no way this template applies so magically to Blog as stated on 10:06!!

How can a blog be created just like that? The video shows like a magic thing. But it is not.

 I tried all sorts of sequences, back and forth, this template is what is, it is a template and has no use.

As for posts, the only way they work is in the ugly WP default theme. If you remotely try to edit with Brizy, you get a blank page. You need to fix this bug because WP is for blogging above everything else. And if your blog feature does not work, we have to buy Elementor Pro instead?

  Hi Sam,

  I think somewhere there is a misunderstanding about how Brizy template works.

  First, you can't edit a WordPress archive page, including blog page, with Brizy.

  If you would like to have a blog page editable with Brizy, you should choose one of the following solutions:

  1 - Create a simple page for Blog and edit it with Brizy. Inside this page add the Posts element. This element extract posts from a certain category. To display all posts, you need to set an extra category for all posts and then to select it for Posts elements. https://jmp.sh/2in2IzP Here you can find more details about Posts element - https://www.brizy.io/blog/brizy-pro-posts-element-2/

  
  2 - Create a page for Blog but don't edit it with Brizy and don't activate the plugin for this page. Set this page as posts page in Settings -> Reading. After this go to Brizy -> Templates and create a new template for the Blog page. Here you have set a display condition for Blog/Post page and then Edit with Brizy. Inside it, you can add the Archive item and display the posts as desired. Please refer to these screenshots: https://jmp.sh/n1RikJL -> https://jmp.sh/LMAne7b -> https://jmp.sh/ZYRRD6h
