WordPress: Accessing Blog Settings

To adjust how your blog posts appear across your site, navigate to Appearance > Customize > Posts & Pages > Blog Posts. Here you can find several settings that apply to all blog posts shown on the main blog page like:

  • Post Style
    Choose whether to show the full post content or pick a layout.
  • Featured Image Size
    Change the orientation or size for the featured image.
  • Post Columns
    Set how many columns to display per row when using a grid layout (e.g. 1, 2, 3, or more).
  • Excerpt Length
    Define the maximum number of words or characters for the excerpt. Set this to 0 to remove the excerpt entirely.
  • Read More Button
    Enable or disable the button that links to the full post.
  • Fonts & Colors and so on…

In case you want to change the layout of archive-type pages (like category pages, search results, tags, etc.), go to Appearance > Customize > Posts & Pages > Archive Posts. Here, you’ll find similar options as in the Blog Posts section, allowing you to control the display of posts in archive views.

Notes

  • All changes can be previewed in real time using the live Customizer.
  • These settings do not affect individual posts – only the way posts are shown in lists or feeds.
