    I like the theme that I am using but I do not like the layout of the blog posts page. Can I download a new “posts page” template from somewhere and use that instead? If so, how?!

    Thank you!!

    If it’s a matter of just style, you can play with the CSS for the page. If it’s really layout….

    You can make a child theme and edit the blog template.

    1) Which file? Install the plugin “show current template” to make that easy.

    2) What is a child theme? https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    Then you for that article, really clear and informative. Even as a complete WP newbie I should be able follow that.

    Could you tell me if there are any sample / example blog page php files I could use the code from as a starting point? Hopefully I could find one that looks the way I want and pinch most of it…

    I almost always build my themes from http://underscores.me — it’s sort of a model of WP best practices.
