WPResidence allows you to create a main Blog List Page, add individual Blog Posts, and display blog posts in custom pages using widgets or shortcodes.

The Blog List Page template is used when you want to show a full page with your blog posts. Individual blog posts are created from the WordPress Posts section.

1. Go to WP Admin > Pages > Add New.
2. Add a page title, for example Blog.
3. In the page template settings, select Blog List Page.

This page will automatically display your published blog posts.

Manage the image slider in a blog post

Each blog post can have an image slider. This is managed from the post Appearance Options.

Appearance Options > Image Slider

Click Upload new image(s) and add the images you want to show in the post slider.

Turn the blog post image slider on or off

To enable or disable the image slider for a blog post, go to:

Create a custom single blog post template

WPResidence includes a default single blog post layout.

If you want to fully customize the single blog post design, you can create a custom template with WPResidence Studio Templates and Elementor Free.

This allows you to design the layout for the post title, featured image, content, author box, share buttons, related posts, comments, and navigation.
