In order for your blog posts to display correctly, you will need to change your Reading Settings on the Wordpress side.
- Navigate to your Wordpress Dashboard
- Click Settings on the left menu
- Select Reading
- Change "Blog pages show at most" to 4 or 8 posts, or any multiple of 4. This template is designed to display the latest 4 blog posts per page in the Blog List feed, so if your setting is not a multiple of 4, there will be a white space between the last post and the pagination links on your site.
Note: You will not have access to you Wordpress Dashboard until after you launch your website on your domain. This is why we recommend publishing your Coming Soon page first.
The Showit team will setup your blog for you and provide you with your login and instructions to set your password.
