Storefront : articles / blog page url and custom template

    Hi everyone !

    I’m developping a child theme on a Woocommerce site, based on Storefront.
    This website contains a blog. Articles work fine, and I can target categories via links from the menu and the breadcrumbs.

    Problem is I couldn’t find the URL of the blog page, listing all articles (whatever category they’re in)… All my researchs ended up on topics to prommote Storefront Blog Customizer (pretty frustrating).

    So I tried to create a page called Blog (I tried with other names), and set it up to be the Article page (via WP settings). But this page strangely uses the same template as the home page (defined in the child page as home.php).

    Am I overlooking something obvious ? I spent some time on the Storefront documentation, but found nothing relevant.

    Any help would be appreciated ??

  • Hello,

    You should be able to set the Blog page from the WordPress Reading settings:

    Settings → Reading

    What you will need to do is set a static page in these settings as the page you want to have all your posts loaded to dynamically. This can be a page with other content on it as well but my understanding is that the blog posts will either push everything below it or it will show up below everything else.

    Another way to do this would be to use a plugin that will allow you to use a shortcode that can be added to whatever page you choose to display all posts or even just some of them:

    Please let me know what works best for you.

    Thanks!
