Displaying Blog

In order to display Blog, you can use our super configurable WPBakery blog shortcodes (fig. 1):

You can select posts basing on their category or tags. Or display all posts. Other settings from this tab allow to configure posts feed:

  • layout (classic, centered, bottom overlap, side overlap);
  • image size, padding, animation, hover;
  • dividers;
  • background color and padding;
  • responsiveness (decide when to switch to a single-column layout).

Appearance of a post in the posts feed can be configured in “Post” tab:

  • post title font, color, size;
  • meta information (whether to display post date, category, etc.) and its look;
  • text or, in another words, post content – its amount and appearance;
  • “Read more” button label and link/button mode.

“Fancy Elements” tab allows to display/hide fancy elements and adjust their color settings.

In “Hover Icon” tab, you can:

  • decide whether to display an icon on image hover;
  • select a specific icon;
  • configure its size, color, background and border.

It is possible to enable different modes of pagination and adjust the number of posts to display in “Pagination & Categorization” tab. You can also configure category filter here: descending/ascending order, name/date ordering and look of filter buttons.

Blog Masonry and Grid

“Masonry & Grid” shortcode has almost the same settings as “Blog List”, apart from following:

  • choose Masonry or Grid layout;
  • choose Classic or Bottom overlap, or Overlay (plain background or gradient) style;
  • columns settings (fig. 3.2), where you can specify number of columns depending on device and browser width:

Page Templates

In addition to WPBakery Blog elements, you can also use “Blog – list” or “Blog – masonry & grid” templates (fig. 6). But please consider, they have less settings than the shortcodes described above.
