Hi, I have fiddled with this whole MU thing all day today, and it’s not worth the trouble (in my case). ??

Hi,
that would be perfect … but I need the “featured image” for links on Facebook etc. – I did not use it for my first few posts, and if somebody links to them (or if they pop up on a recommendation inside my website), there’s a blank square or a random image or the favicon… So, unfortunately, I have to set the image, but disable it on the page with the new blog entries…
Thanks, Ulrich

OK, I set up the multisite feature and now I have the option to set up a “network” – apparantly, these are a different kind of pages (at least in the German GU it’s called “Seiten”, like a WP-page, but it’s clearly something else)… What to do now? Thanks, Ulrich

OK, did create the child theme. Now I need to figure out how (and where) to deactive something like “post_thumbnail”… help, please! ??

Oh, I forgot something, one of the blogs will be English, the other German. The WP interface can be either or, doesn’t mater, but will I be able to set the site’s languages differently with a “multisite” installation? Thanks, Ulrich

Sorry. Did not know each theme had a support group (though it makes sense). Learning something new every day, literally. ??

Thank you! Will do!

Perfect, thank you! What I didn’t get was to create an “empty” page for the blog entries, than go to Settings/Reading and “fill” it from there. Sorry for the confusion. As I assumed, it was really easy, once I did it right. THANK YOU!

Somehow I seem to phrase my question wrong, sorry.
I can create a new “page” from the “pages” menü on the left. What I don’t understand is how I would fill this page not with static text, but with my newest blog posts. Basically, what I want to achieve is a page at https://www.minimedi.de/blog / that shows the blog entries. Right now, I’m only able to show the newest five entries on the landing page of the blog – or, alternatively, show a static page as the landing page, but then I have NO page with the last blog entries, I just only have links to them in the right hand menu.
I have the feeling I’m missing something incredibly obvious… ??
Thanks for bearing with me!

Hi Ayman, I figured out how to make a static landing page. What I don’t know is how to “make” (and then link to) a page that show the last five posts.

The them’s name is “Scrappy” (https://www.ads-software.com/themes/scrappy).
Right now I have the last five posts as homepage (see https://www.minimedi.de). I’d like to show exatcly this content, but not on this page. I want to choose a static landing page (can do that) and from there link to a page that has the last five blog posts in full.

Does not resize correctly on Chrome or Firefox (both on Mac).
Any ideas?
The problem seems connected to the browser…?

Resizing correct on Safari, too…

The weird thing is, it fits the images correctly on my phone…

Slideshow’s height: 480
Fit image into slide (Stretch image): No
Shrink slideshow’s height when width shrinks: No
