Hello! I'm fairly new to wordpress and brizy and I want to know if it is possible to edit the blog area like the image in the link attached below. I watched the videos on how to make blog list using templates but I'm not really a fan of how it looks and want to change it. Is there a work around on how I can do this?

  Hi, 

  Yes, it is possible to display in such a way the posts. For this, you have to add Posts element or Archive element and set it with 1 column and 10 rows (for example, but you can select the number of rows you want). After this, in the column where is stored the information about one post, you have to add the Row element. It will come by default with 2 columns, therefore, you can drag and drop the Image element and add it in the first column and the text elements in the second column. See here (in this video I also showed how to add shadow but you can skip that last step) After this, to the image you can go and set your own sizes but I want to add that all images from the Posts listing will have the same sizes. At the moment isn't possible to set custom sizes for each or some images. Therefore I don't recommend adding some custom sizes and in pixels. After this, you have to go to the column where is added Post title, Post excerpt and button and align it to centre. See here. Also, I recommend using the Posts title and Post excerpt element https://jmp.sh/aJEykRg instead of #Post title and #Post excerpt hashtag.

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Thank you so much! This is very helpful. I was able to make a sample blog list with the help of your directions. If I want to make a 1 featured post that is separate from the blog list (same page), am I supposed to make a Brizy template for it? Or can I just use #Post and select 1 column and 1 row? Also, is there an option to shorten the length of the #post excerpt and change the size of the button?

  It's my pleasure to help you!

  Could you please give more details about the "featured post" that you want to create? How do you want to create it? What it should look?

  Regarding the length of the Post excerpt - unfortunately, isn't possible to customize the length of the post excerpt but in this post, you can find a solution for this. See here.

  Best regards,
  Sandra
