Hi,

 

I am not sure what I am missing, can be a simple check box somewhere, but;

 

The content (not the posts) on my blog page is not showing up. I have checked the following settings:

 

 

 

1. page options>blog page>page setup>individual page section control>template> 'hide content' is not checked

2. drag and drop>template setup>page templates>blog>active sections>'content' is present

3. on actual blog page: edit page>page lines meta settings>page setup>individual page section control>template>'hide content' is not checked

 

What else do I need to set to get the content appear above the blog posts?

 

Thanks,

 

Istvan

Hi Istvan

 

Make sure that 'postloop' is active in the 'content-area' within the blog template. Both content section and postloop section are required in the template to display the posts.

Thank you James,

The posts display fine, it is a bit of a content/text/ that I would like to display above the posts, if that is possible?
I thought if I add a bit of a text for the page as a content like for any other pages, that will be displayed first above/before the post excerpts on the top of the blog page. Is this not the case?

Thanks

Hi there

 

I see, yeah on the blog template the content area where you place the text in a standard page is replaced with the posts so you can't have both.

 

However, if you download the 'contentbox' section, which is a free section from the pagelines store, this will act as a second text container. Once installed you can place this into the blog template in the drag and drop above the 'content' section and enter the text you want in Pagelines>page options>blog page>contentbox, this will then appear in the desired area.

Hi James,

 

Thank you, I suspected that this was the case but wasn't sure. I can follow the contentbox way no problem.

 

Thanks again,
