    Hi
    I’m having difficulties with two aspects of blog layout.
    Firstly in the theme options is there a way to set the standard blog layout to display Excerpt by defaul, instead of the whole post? I’d like to do that here if possible.
    And secondly, since I can’t do it here I could choose to use the Blog Posts element in the layout editor. But why can I here not choose the standard designs (Business or Elegant) or choose All Categories as a default for which posts to show?
    Hope you can help. Am I missing something? To have these fixed in both places would be wonderful.
    Cheers
    … Ken

    Hi,

    Blog Styling (business/elegant) is a wide-site setting that affects all Blog element instances through the site. Regarding forcing post excerpt you could add this snippet in theme / child theme functions.php:

    function change_blog_archive_style() {	
	global $avia_config;
	if(!is_single()){ $avia_config['blog_content'] = "excerpt_read_more"; }
}
add_action('get_header', 'change_blog_archive_style');

    Regards,
    Josue
