  Please help! I’ve just paid $79 for the candela format, because i want all my posts to be displayed as in the demo. However instead of being arranged in a portfolio manner, with all posts visible in columns, they are displayed as before, one after the other in a list format. This is not what I was expecting and I don’t know how to change this. Can you please tell me how?

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

  High end domains like Candela sometimes require some tweaking to get them to work the way they do in the Demo.

  Here are the specific instructions for how to make those changes with your theme

  If you still get stuck with the instructions, let me know and I’ll help walk you through getting things looking the way you expected.

  Hi and thanks for the quick reply! I’m afraid I’m still having trouble- I’ve gone into edit a page but cannot even locate the page attributes module mentioned in step 1!

  ‘Create or Edit a page, and assign it to the Portfolio Page Template from the Page Attributes module.’

  It’s my first time blogging so I’m feeling a little silly! Looks like I’ll need more specific instruction please.

  Thanks again for your help,

  Britt.

  i want all my posts to be displayed as in the demo.

  I’ve looked at this again, and I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding. The candela theme is designed to work with Portfolio projects displayed on the front page, not posts. Do you intended to have projects on your site?

  If not and you are looking for a theme that will display blog posts the way candela displays projects, let me know and I can help you find a different theme.

  If you do want to display projects, I can help you set up a page so those will be displayed the way you want them.

  Here’s more about how projects are different from posts:

  This one isn’t exactly the same, but I think it might give you the look you are going for.
