Blog posts in Stow theme
-
Hello! I’ve built my website around the Stow theme and love it, but I would like to change the appearance/layout of the blog posts. I don’t see the option under Appearance > Customize like I would expect it to be. Is that not an option with this theme? If so, are there any workarounds or am I out of luck?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Stow theme has a default way of presenting the blog posts. What layout were you hoping to achieve and what setting were you looking for in the customizer?
There could be a way to achieve what you are looking for.

Hi @therefoiam, thank you for your response! My main priority is having the feature image be smaller (e.g. the width of the post instead of the entire page). I believe I could accomplish this by removing the featured image and just including an image in the body of my post, but then I will need to figure out a way to populate the blog page with thumbnails for each post.
I had also hoped to remove the byline with the author and date, but if that’s not possible it isn’t a dealbreaker!

I see what you mean. Removing the image and including one in the bost does work so let’s say that is one option to go about it.
Another way is to edit the images you are using as the featured images and scale them down to a lower width. By default, they are scaled up to use the full width.
Go to, Media Library → Select image in question → Click Edit Image
It takes you to this screen
Give the image new dimensions. I made mine half of what they originally were and it worked like a charm. Make sure to scale the image by clicking that scale button.Let us know if you still don’t come right with the Images .
The byline however will show by default and there is no way to turn it off unless you hide it by using CSS.

Looks like the image with the screen won’t load, you can find it here; snipboard.io/Ca2B7V.jpg
If you are on Premium plan or higher, it makes the whole process easier as you can add custom CSS to adjust the with of the featured images as well as hide the line with post dates
/* featured image width on blog archives page */
figure.post-thumbnail {
WIDTH: 50%;
}/* remove byline */
.entry-footer {
DISPLAY: NONE;
}I hope this helps.

Editing the size of the images worked perfectly, @therefoiam, thank you so much for your help! I think this works well for what we wanted to do, so I’m happy.
