Change Standard Blog List

Hi andryonline. Can you post a link to your site? Thanks.

If you can just provide some additional information, that would help.
1. Can you give me an example from the theme demo page that shows what you want to move, and where?
2. If the post Format is set to Standard it won’t display the Featured Image. Setting the format to Image should fix it.

1. That secondary sidebar is using the AlxPosts widget.
2. You might be able to use a SQL query to update the existing posts but I’m not sure where the post format is stored. Other than that you’d have to change the existing posts manually.

If you’re referring to the images in the primary sidebar on the left of the demo page you linked, you’d need to modify /functions/widgets/alx-tabs.php to use a different thumbnail size, then change the css to move the the meta data below the image. The AlxTabs widget used in the secondary sidebar is already formatted with that layout.

The easiest way to do that is to turn off the Standard Blog List option, then use this css:

.home .post-list .post {
  width: 100%
}

You’d need to modify the post layout in file content-standard.php. But you’d essentially end up with the same layout as I described above. You can’t stretch the image across the entire content width and maintain the same layout as the Standard Blog List.

as a classic blog

So, you want the post featured image to span the content area width, followed by the post title and meta data, followed by the entire post content instead of the excerpt, for x number of posts? Or is it supposed to be formatted exactly like the single post with title, meta data, featured image followed by the entire post content? The first option can be done with a function and some css. The second option will require modifying the theme files and more css.

Both of these assume the Standard Blog List option is OFF.
For #1:
1. Add the css I posted above to your child theme or custom css.
2. Copy content.php from the parent theme to your child theme.
3. At the bottom of the child theme content.php file find this:

<?php if (ot_get_option('excerpt-length') != '0'): ?>
<div class="entry excerpt">
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!--/.entry-->
<?php endif; ?>

and change it to this to display the full post content:

<!-- change to display full post content instead of excerpt -->
<!-- <?php if (ot_get_option('excerpt-length') != '0'): ?> -->
<div class="entry excerpt">
    <!-- <?php the_excerpt(); ?> -->
    <?php the_content(); ?>
</div><!--/.entry-->
<?php endif; ?>

For #2:
1. Add the css I posted above to your child theme or custom css.
2. Copy file content.php to your child theme.
3. Replace the entire contents of that file with the code here on Pastebin.
You may have to add a bit of additional css to get it exactly how you want it.

If you don’t currently have a child theme:
1. In Theme Options click the Help tab in the upper righthand corner.
2. One of the options in the list is to download a sample child theme. This downloads the theme zip file to your local computer.
3. Install the new theme in your Admin panel by selecting Add New > Upload Theme > Choose File, then select the zip file you downloaded.
4. Activate the child theme.
You’ll now have a pre-configured child theme with a style.css file and functions.php file to which you can add customizations.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
