The default Posts Page displays every post published on your site in reverse chronological order. For each post, the title, excerpt, date published and author are listed. (See sample below.)
- Create and publish a page with just a title – no body text, featured image or categories
- Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize, or from the black admin bar at the top of any page, click Customize
- Click Front Page
- Under Posts Page, select the empty page you created in the first step
- Click the blue Save & Publish button at the top of the panel
This list below shows how your post summaries will displayed, with each summary including its title, author, date published and excerpt. If a post has a featured image, it will show up as a left-aligned thumbnail with each summary.
Customizing a news page
If you would like more control over how you list posts, you can create a custom news or blog page using the Posts element in Tailor. For example, you may want to display posts as a grid rather than a list, or edit which fields are included (eg, author, date, excerpt).
You can also use Tailor to limit the number of posts shown on a page. For example, you could embed just the three most recent posts on your homepage.
Sample archive page format
