  Hey all, I’m having trouble customizing my blog page.

  My first question is, is there a place where I can easily edit settings applying to my blog page only? To set things like how many posts display on it, or layout? Or to get it to show full posts instead of excerpts?

  I’ve also added a “subscribe” button to the blog in the editor, but it doesn’t show even when I update the page. Any idea why not? (I have other questions but I’ll make a separate post if I can’t figure it out after this one.) Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I was able to get the “subscribe” bar to show by switching to the List view, which revealed it had been pasted into a different element. I dragged it outside of that group, and now it shows perfectly. Yay! But the other questions remain. Thank you :)

  Hi there,

  You can control those aspect by editing the settings in the Query Loop block (and the Post Template block nested inside) as shown in the video I recorded here:

  How to access your Query Loop settings

  You can see that the blocks have some built in options but we go into much more detail about how to customize the Query Loop block here:

  Use the Query Loop block to display blog posts (or other content types such as pages, testimonials, or projects) anywhere on your site. This block is similar to the Blog Posts block, but with greater flexibility to display your content using many different parameters and visual layouts. This guide will show you how to use it. Add the Query Loop Block The Query Look block may already be add

  Also, you may wish to try the Blog Posts block instead. It’s a bit simpler/more intuitive to use, and has a slightly different look that some folks prefer. We show how to work with the Query Loop block, Blog Posts block, and Carousel block in our recent webinar here that you may also want to check out.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
