    Hello team,

    I would like to know how I can achieve the following:

    1- How to create a custom blog posts design template to use anywhere as a loop item (grid, carousel, etc.)

    2- How to create a single post page design

    3- How to control the meta info (For example, I would like to keep the category and date but remove only the author info)

    4- How to limit Title characters or lines (For example, there’s an existing feature for excerpts to set a maximum number of characters).

    5- How to create a custom product design template to use as a loop item (grid, carousel, etc.)

    I am new to the Woodmart theme, so thank you in advance for your patience.

    Hello,

    01, 02, 05. The blog is an Archive page and is controlled by WordPress; it doesn’t allow any modifications to be added to it, which is the default functionality. You cannot edit it directly with any page builder.

    If you’d like to edit the blog page design, you can create a custom layout for it.

    To do this, go to Layouts > Create new layout, select the Blog Page layout type, and then edit it.

    Here is the documentation: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/posts-archive-page-builder/

    03. To remove author info try to add the following custom css code in Theme Settings > Custom CSS.

    .wd-post-author {
    display: none !important;
}

    04. Navigate to Theme Settings > Blog > Blog Archive > Posts excerpt: https://postimg.cc/QVFMjQ2B

    Best Regards,

    Hello again, regarding 01, 02, and 05, I wanted to know if I can change the single post layout or build a custom one. For example, you have 2 options in the theme (default or large image). Note that in different themes I’m using, I am able to create a single post template and then apply it to any post. Why? I am not able to change multiple elements such as the sidebarcontents (gallery, comments, recent posts).

    04. I am able to limit the posts’ excerpt length, but my question was for the post title. Is there a way to limit the length of the title as well? Or is there an option to make the blog grid equal in height? I will post a screenshot to show you why I need to limit the title length or make the grid equal in height.

    Regards.

    Hello,

    01. Navigate to Layouts > Create new layout, select the single post layout type.

    Here is the documentation: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/posts-archive-page-builder/

    02. Please add the below Custom CSS code to Theme Settings > Custom CSS > Global custom CSS to control the title line limit.

    .blog-design-masonry .post-title {
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 2; /* Change this value to control the number of lines */
}

    Best Regards,
