Gateway theme layout help

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there, I want to change my homepage layout so that it displays 6 of my blog posts at a time in a grid fashion as per the demo of the Gateway theme, but can’t find a way to do this. Also wanted to add an instagram widget to the bottom of the page above the header but can’t find how to do that either. Would appreciate some help with this :) Thanks

  • Howdy! Gateway is set up to show three featured posts rather than six. Do you want to do that?

    You’re also welcome to just use blocks to create the layout you like.

    Thanks for the reply, I found a way to make it work witg blocks for the posts but am still confused with how to get an instagram feed on the page without putting it in the footer.

    I also can’t make my post pages have a full-width layout, all the guides I’m reading are out of date so the menus they refer to don’t appear anymore.

  • am still confused with how to get an instagram feed on the page without putting it in the footer.

    An Instagram feed can only be added via the Instagram widget, and that can only be inserted in one of your theme’s widget areas. With Gateway, the footer widget area is the only widget area that appears on all pages, but you can also add it to the sidebar if you prefer.

    Inside posts and pages themselves, you can only embed individual Instagram posts, not the entire feed.

    Gateway only has a full-width page template for pages, not for posts. Posts in this theme will always show a sidebar, as will the page you designate as the posts page. This theme shows the sidebar even if you have no sidebar widgets added.

    It’s possible to remove the sidebar completely and force those pages full-width using custom CSS, but that will require our Premium Plan.
