    I am having trouble with making a blog page. I want the blog to be 3 columns, but also have a sidebar on the left showing the categories (so people can click a category to read that).

    I can’t figure out how to make that happen, as I want a large image, excerpt copy and a Read More… button.

    Can you please help me, very specifically? Down to even selecting default editor or adv. layout? Hopefully without coding?

    I’m really struggling!

    Hey MysticMimi,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    You may have forgotten to include the username in the private field.

    To create a 3-column blog page, make sure the blog page is set in the Enfold > Theme Options > Where Do You Want To Display The Blog settings. If you previously configured the options in the Settings > Reading panel, reset them to default. Next, go to the Enfold > Blog Layout panel and set the Blog Layout settings to the last option (Use the Advanced Layout Builder). This allows you to edit the blog page using the Advanced Layout Builder (ALB). Edit the blog page, switch to the ALB, insert a Blog Posts element, set it to Grid Layout, and then configure it as needed.

    Let us know if you need more info.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hello. Sorry for giving the incorrect username!
    I don’t know how to set it to Grid Layout. Please clarify for this inexperienced (with Enfold) gal.
    I want it to be 2 or 3 columns, plus the sidebar.

    Also, as far as the top picture in the blog… can I have it fit the space better? Like full picture to fit, instead of cropping it? And, how do I choose which picture is used?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the info.

    We reset the Settings > Reading panel to default, set the Enfold > Blog Layout > Blog Layout to the last option (Use the advance layout builder…), and adjusted the Blog Posts element’s Blog Style to Grid Layout. Please make sure to purge the cache before checking the page.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
