  • Which theme are you using?

    its Gridsby in free version, not Pro.

    sorry for not pointing this earlier ??

    Haven’t used this theme, but what do you have under Settings > Reading for the number of posts to show on the home page (assume that’s where you are asking about)?

    If that’s not it, can you post a link to your site?

    You will have to edit the page-home.php template file. On line 140 look for this line of code…

    $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘tax_query’ => array(

    Change the number 3 to another number and you should be all set.

    You will have to edit the page-home.php template file.

    Which should be done in a child theme so that the changes are not lost when the theme is updated. See:

    Thank you all for this solution!
    If I change it to 6, the next row of blog posts is directly connected….
    Is there a way to add some space between?
    Hope someone can help out here ??
    Kind regards ans thanks!

    Not without seeing the site. BTW, hope you are using a child theme – otherwise any changes will be lost when you update the theme.

    Thank you for your quick respond!

    I do not use a child theme, but I copy what changes I made….

    I think I managed it (sort of) although it is not working on a tablet…
    I added a line in the stylesheet:

    #home-blog .blog-post {
    height: 375px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    position: relative;
    }

    But you probably have a better suggestion!
    Kind regards and thanks in advance

    So when you update this theme – all of your changes will be lost – not good. (Sorry the advice you got above was not so good…) So start by making a child theme – see the link I posted. Once you have that set up, put a copy of the changed version of the

    page-home.php template file

    in the child theme.

    Have you changed any other theme files?

    CSS changes should only go in the child theme style.css file – ADD CSS there to override the existing CSS.

    Thank you for your advice!
    I will have a look at how to make a child theme!
    So far I’ve changed little….
    I’m looking forward to your solution.

    Thank you for your help so far ??

    YES!! I’ve managed to make a child theme.
    I’ve copied the following files to it:
    page-home.php.html and
    style.css
    I hope this is the way to do it ?? and it will keep on working in the future….

    Is there a way to make the space between the blogs visible at the tablet too?
    Hope to hear from you specialists!
    Thanks in advance

    Have you activated the child theme – doesn’t seem to be visible on your site.

    Aside from that, I’m not sure what you want to change – the spacing between those rows looks pretty good to me –

    Yes….sorry ?? It is visible on my tablet now too…
    How do I have to activate my child theme?
    Thank you very, very much!

    Sorry for my question about activating the child-theme.
    I see the explanation is included in the link you’ve posted…
    I will give it a try!
    Thanks once more for helping out!
    Best wishes,
    Yvonne

    EDIT – sorry, we cross posted…

    Find the child theme under Appearance > Themes and click activate. You’ll likely have to redo theme options and settings in the child theme as they don’t all carry over.
