Blog page archive card settings

  • Hello,

    How can I set my blog page to be 3×3 grid (3 rows 3 columns) with “1…2…3 Next” activated? Exact layout like category pages have right now, I’ll link everything in private

  • Hi there,

    so your site is using GP Block Element Content Templates.

    Are you using different templates for your Blog and other templates for your Archives ?

  • Hi David,

    Yes, full context here: https://generate.support/topic/inserting-archive-card-element-to-a-page-homepage/

    Since Archive Cards does not work on pages, I had to rebuild it using a query loop on a homepage separately.

  • You just need to add blog to the archive card element’s location.

  • It’s already there, I just need 3×3 layout with next activated somehow

  • Theres something not right with that blog page, can you share a temporary admin login to the site, so we can see whats going on.

  • Added to private

  • I the Snippets plugin you have a snippet one titled: ArchiveCardsHome

    Can you disable that, as its altering the main query for the blog page.

  • Ah right, forgot about that one, brilliant thanks. Can you check if the “Next” button is working for you? On my end when I hover it nothing happens when I click it and I am not seeing any URL come up

  • Its to do with the Footer, that Icon Headline block is overlapping the container.

    1. Edit the Element titled Site Footer
    2. select the Icon Headline – see here:

    3. in Advanced > Additional CSS Classes add: no-pointers

    4. save that

    5. add this CSS to your site:

    
    .no-pointers {
        pointer-events: none;
    }

  • Excellent thank you very much. My final issue seems to be that it’s not pulling the most latest article right now but 2nd latest, how can I find what’s causing that?

  • Your latest post isn’t published yet, it’s still a draft. Query loop only show posts that are published.

  • If you check /blog page specifically then it’s not showing latest post (PacketShare), it’s not using query loop but archive card element

  • 1. The Blog heading element (previous was the content template for the 1st post) is nested in the Archive cards element, remove that:
    https://app.screencast.com/Ebd1Y1IWl4huZ

    2. Go to customizer > layout >blog, uncheck the Make first post featured box.

  • I would ideally like to have that heading, when I tried to put the heading into archive card element itself last time it would give the heading to each individual card, so my solution was to just have it as a separate element to be injected.

    Here’s blog heading drafted, how can this be fixed? https://imgur.com/a/HjfzEEK

    Edit: Ah ok, I was writing this before your edit, okay layout is fixed, but how can I have the blog heading then?
