Need some help with layout

    I’m not usually this dense, but I can’t for the life of me understand how to create my own custom post layout. I went through the documentation, but I’m just missing the basics. I am using woo commerce’s storefront theme and the post layout is pretty horrible. I am using these parameters.

    [display-posts include_title=”true” image_size=”medium” orderby=”menu_order” order=”ASC” include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_length=”20″ excerpt_more=”Continue Reading” excerpt_more_link=”true” include_link=”false” wrapper=”div” wrapper_class=”display-posts-listing image-left” ]

    What can I do to make my posts look like the posts on Chris Stapelton’s site? https://www.chrisstapleton.com/news/

    Display Posts includes some basic display parameters, but as you’ve found it doesn’t include any styling.

    There are two ways to build an attractive post listing:
    – Template Part in your theme. This is my preferred approach because I can make the Display Posts listing perfectly match the default post listing in the theme.
    – The Output Filter to customize exactly what is output for each listing item. This is useful if you want to add to or re-arrange the components of the listing (examples).

    I understand this isn’t ideal, so the next large release of Display Posts will include some built-in styles to choose from, as well as a Gutenberg block to simplify the process of querying your posts.
