These refer to the values you entered when creating your posts.
Customizing the blog post listing
From the settings panel on the left, or by clicking on the blog post listing element, you can modify the following options:
- Number of posts per page
- Horizontal space
- Display horizontally
- Vertical space
- Number of posts per row
- Category
Customizing the post date visibility
To toggle whether the post's date is displayed or not, you can check or uncheck the "Show date?" checkbox under the "Date" section.
Customizing pagination
Pagination is used to navigate between post listing pages when the number of posts exceeds the number of posts to display per page.
To help visitors know which page they are currently on, you can customize the active and inactive page colors.
Displaying the latest blog posts
You can add the "Latest blog posts" element to display the most recently published posts.
Customizing the number of posts per page
You can also configure the number of posts per page to be displayed per page, as well as their layout (vertically or horizontally), or select a specific category.
Latest blog post carousel
You can choose to show the latest posts as a carousel using the "Latest blog posts carousel" element, which is similar to the "Latest blog posts" element.
