Blog and Post

Customize the blog and posts of your WordPress website.

YOOtheme Pro provides default templates for the blog and posts which come with several layout settings.

The following settings can be found in the Layout → Blog and Layout → Posts panels of YOOtheme Pro. Make sure to browse to the blog or a single post in the preview on the right to see the changes immediately.

Note YOOtheme Pro allows you to create templates for the blog and posts with the YOOtheme Pro page builder. Additionally, individual post layouts can also be created with the YOOtheme Pro page builder. In both cases the default template is not loaded which is why the following settings are not applied.
