Customize article and blog page

  • Hello!

    1) How to manually edit the layout of the individual blog post (article)? I can’t find the exact php file to edit.

    2) When I create blog page and set it as article page in settings/reading it just lists all the articles, but removes any text and page title from it. Which php file does Storefront use when I set the page as the page for the articles? I want to keep the title and introduction text on my blog page and after them to list the articles.

    Thank you in advance for help.

  • Hello @galjega,

    Let’s take a look at these questions.

    1. The single.php file controls the overall blog post format. However, it also loads the content with the content-single.php file. Depending on what part you want to edit, you may need to make changes to one or both of these files.

    2. The blog page is not actually a page. It’s a placeholder for an archive of all the published blog posts. That’s why the content and other information disappear from the page when it’s set to be the blog page for the site.

    Ultimately the index.php file is used as the template that generates this “page” on the site. It’s used in other places so if you want to edit it to include content, you’ll likely want to wrap it in conditional tags so it only applies to the blog page.

    This answer on Stack Exchange can show you how to pull the content from the actual page that is the blog page and display it.

    You could also create a child theme and copy the index.php file to the child theme and name it home.php there. That will be used for the blog page. WordPress has a template hierarchy that determines which file is used to generate which page. You can read more about that here:

    Hope that gets you started.

    Cheers
