Blocksy gives you extensive control over the appearance and behaviour of your main blog archive. You can configure its title area, choose how posts are arranged, customise individual post cards, add a sidebar and select how visitors move between archive pages.
To access these options, navigate to Customiser → Blog Posts.
Quick Look
Granular Controls
Blog Title
The Blog Title section controls the hero area displayed at the top of your main blog archive.
Two title layouts are available:
The Elements area lets you control which pieces of information appear inside the Blog Title:
- Title – displays the title of the blog archive.
- Excerpt – displays the description assigned to the blog page.
- Breadcrumbs – displays the breadcrumb navigation trail when breadcrumbs are enabled.
Blog Structure
The Blog Structure setting determines how posts are arranged throughout the archive.
Five layouts are available:
The accompanying Columns & Posts controls let you fine-tune how many columns are used and how many posts are displayed on each archive page, where supported by the selected structure.
Card Design
Once the archive structure is selected, the Card Design option controls the visual treatment of each individual post.
Card Elements
The Card Elements section determines which information is displayed inside each post card.
Depending on your configuration, you can show or hide elements such as the featured image, post title, taxonomy information, excerpt and post metadata. Individual elements also expose their own design and visibility controls where applicable.
Page Elements & Functionality
This section controls archive-wide functionality that sits outside the individual post cards.
Sidebar
The Sidebar option lets you display a sidebar alongside the blog archive and choose its position. The contents of the sidebar can be managed separately through WordPress’ widget areas.
Pagination
Blocksy provides four pagination methods:
- Standard – displays traditional numbered pagination.
- Next/Previous – provides simple navigation between adjacent archive pages without page numbers.
- Load More – adds a button that loads additional posts without navigating away from the current page.
- Infinite Scroll – automatically loads more posts as visitors approach the end of the current list.
Card Reveal Effect
The Card Reveal Effect adds a subtle entrance animation to post cards as they move into the visitor’s viewport while scrolling.
