Set up the blog - Arche

The blog lists your posts as rows: date, title, a faded black-and-white image and up to three categories. Hovering a row brings the image to full color. Everything is edited in the Site Editor, with no settings screen.

#Show the blog on its own page

#What a row shows

• The date, the title and the featured image. A post without an image keeps the column empty, so titles stay in line.
• The first three categories. The rest fold into a +N pill that names them on hover.
• A pinned post shows a Pinned label after its title.

To change the rows, open AppearanceEditorTemplates, pick Blog Home and edit the Post rows pattern inside it.

#What a single post shows

Breadcrumbs and the title open the post, with the date under the title. Then come the featured image, the categories and the author on the left, and the text on the right. The excerpt you write by hand opens the text as a lead. Tags and comments follow the text.

When the text ends, the left column shows links to the previous and the next post, each with a thumbnail. They loop, so the last post leads back to the first. Under the post come the recent posts.

• To remove a part, such as the author or the recent posts, delete its block in the Single Posts template.
• To show more or fewer recent posts, select the Query Loop in the recent posts section and change Items per page. The open post is left out on its own.

#Change how the pagination works

With Arche Pro, the blog's page numbers change pages without a reload. To pick another way, select the Pagination block in the blog template and open Styles:

Numbers, no reload

Page numbers that load the next page in place. The default on the blog.

Load more

One button that adds the next posts under the list.

Infinite scroll

The next posts load as the visitor nears the end.

The page numbers themselves have two styles, Boxed and Plain.

#Breadcrumbs

Posts, pages, archives and search results show breadcrumbs. On pages they sit under the title, on a post above it. When an SEO plugin has breadcrumbs of its own, the theme shows those. Delete the breadcrumbs group in a template to remove them there.
