Blog Post Page Attributes

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone can provide a solution for my Blog page problem. I am trying to add a Blog to my existing WordPress site on a separate page.

    First, I created a new Post. Then, in Pages I created a Blog page. In Settings/Reading, I selected Static Page and listed the Home page as the Front Page, and the Blog page as the Post Page.

    My blog page is working correctly, but is taking the attributes of my Static Front Page (Home page)- which I do not want. On the Home page the theme has a big banner with a Call to Action and photo which I do not want on my blog page.

    My apologies if this is a simple answer, but I can’t seem to make these attributes go away. FYI, I am using the Aaron theme.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    You are referring to the header. Basically everything above the first article of your /blog/ page. Correct?

    Yes, Artur, exactly. Everything above the first article.

    Hi @markmjmills,

    Well, it will take a little technical because you’d have to edit a few files to make this customized a little. We’d have to use the IF statement and tell WordPress to load either a.) a different header.php file or b.) if you know which element you don’t want to show on blog article pages and blog index page we can just take that part out of the header.php file.

    Now looking at your website you have few elements in the header we can take out without completely removing it. Here’s a screenshot of maybe what to keep on blog pages and blog index page, let me know what you think and I can see if I can work an example code for you to post here. That way you can grab it and place it within the header.php file.

    Thank you, have a good weekend.

    Hey Artur,
    I was able to figure out how to make these changes based on your example. This is very similar to what you sent:
