Blog theme customization

  • Hi,
    I am building a personal website with Photofocus theme (https://catchthemes.com/themes/photofocus-pro). I completed the website design, now designing a blog page. Actually, I need a custom theme for my blogs to see the design below.
    Custom design example site: https://blog.bitdiscovery.com/

    But Photofocus blog theme looks different(See image attached)

    Following are my doubts?

    How to customize Photofocus blog theme to meet my requirement?
    Do I need to manually edit PHP files to achieve the design?
    Can I purchase a different theme for the blog only(ie my desired design is also a WordPress site – https://blog.bitdiscovery.com/)
    Suggest me the ideal solution?

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    As this is a commercial (ie PAID) theme, you’ll need to contact the theme’s vendor for help regarding these customizations.

    WordPress support volunteers here are not given access to these commercial themes. As such, we’re unable to try out these commercial theme and answer any questions.

    See above.

    It depends on your specific theme and the kind of customization you want to make.

    Can I purchase a different theme for the blog only(ie my desired design is also a WordPress site – https://blog.bitdiscovery.com/)

    A WordPress site can have only one theme active at a time. So if the main site and blog part are two different WordPress installations, then you can use different themes. But if they’re both in the same WordPress installation, then you can’t.

    That said, many themes have extensive customization options, allowing users to customize the layout and styling of different sections of their sites.

    Some people also choose to use cough 3rd-party page builder plugins (eg Elementor, Weaver Builder, Divi, Visual Composer, Live Canvas, etc) that can override the theme’s styles, and often come with many pre-made layouts and applied to different portions of the site.

    Good luck!

    Thank you for your quick response. I am using a free version of their theme. In the free version, they are not providing blog customization options. I assume the only way to edit the blog is by editing the code.
