Leaf theme blog post won't display posts

We have created a child theme of the leaf theme.

Do you mean that you created a child theme by your own or that you have installed the one provided by the author?
This is important to exclude errors in your current child theme.

Hi Tizz,
Many thanks for your reply.
Apologies for not getting back earlier.

What I have done is create a child theme in cpanel using this code:

/*

Theme Name: Leaf Child
Theme URI: public_html/simplyvillasibiza.co.uk/wp/wp-content/themes/leaf
Description: Child theme based on leaf
Author: Shaun Baldwin
Version: 0.0.1
Template: leaf

*/

@import url(‘../leaf/style.css’);

.main-navigation li a {
color: #000000;

}

That is all I have done so far. The blogs still only display in the slider and not under the slider.

Any pointers would much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shaun

The blogs still only display in the slider and not under the slider

1) I’m not sure I got it right because you haven’t reported your URL, but if you mean that you didn’t see your published post out of the slider, that’s because you have published less than 5 posts. As soon as you publish more they will appear in categories under slider, the ones that you have checked in the options.

the most recent 7 or 8 blog posts underneath.

The most recent posts go in the slider, from 6th onward go underneath.

2) If the only change you need is that CSS, you can write in the Custom CSS area, you don’t need a child theme.
If you want customize template file, use the ready child theme

I just created lots of dummy posts and they have begun to appear! ??

With regards to the CSS, I’m just at the beginning of customising my theme. But thanks for the tip anyway.

Is it possible to edit the coding so that all the posts appear on the homepage, even the most recent ones and random posts appear in the slider?

An example is in this theme by wpshower:

Thanks again for your help!

Yes, it’s possible via child theme with the help of a coder, that I’m not, sorry.

Edit: or maybe, without coding, using Leaf with blog layout, and then installing a slider plugin with options, there are many out there.
You can try.

That’s great.
Once again thanks for your time.

You’re welcome.
Pls mark as resolved ??

Resolved.
