    I’m trying to find a way to add an some sort of an intro/presentation text to a blog (using the Blocksy main theme, if there’s a name on it), but how do i do that? I cannot seem to find a way to add any text, not even through “Pages” > Edit “Home”… Here’s where i would like to add the text: https://files.catbox.moe/1sttxl.png

  • Hello @sectobrawler99

    The blog archive pages aren’t editable by normal means, since they’re “special” WordPress pages. Sorry, but that’s how things are.

    There are a few ways you can achieve this.
    -Blocksy Pro’s Content Blocks feature
    -Elementor Pro which has a template replacement feature
    -Editing the archive template manually, but this requires coding knowledge.

    Hope this points you in the right direction.

    Thanks.

    Hmm? I’m not talking about blog archive… Just when you go to the main page, i want to have some presentation text above the blog posts. So, that’s not possible at all without those methods you mention, or?

    Hey @sectobrawler99

    Can you post the website’s URL so I can check if the page is an archive or not?

    Thanks.

    Hey @sectobrawler99

    Yep, the homepage is an archive.

    You could try something. Try removing the blog archive as the main homepage, create a separate page with your content that you want, and at the end of the page, add the shortcode block with the [blocksy_posts] shortcode. Here’s a short explanatory video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hVUlto_a1o

    Thanks.

    @cteduard wait… how do i “remove” the blog as an archive the easy way? I ask because on the video, i do not get the “Edit Page” to appear for some reason.

    Hello @sectobrawler99

    First off, apologies for the late reply, but we are not active during the weekends.

    In regards to that, you can change it from the WordPress Dash -> Settings -> Reading section. Then assign the homepage as the newly created “blog” page and use the instructions I gave you.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
