You can often see blog cards with the author’s name, post category or release date. They are post elements that belong to the post itself. Divi provides a lot of control over post elements within the blog module. However, it may be difficult to determine which elements to display and which elements not to display. To help make a decision, this post will review the eight blog post element display combinations of divi’s blog module. We will also discuss each advantage. Let’s go. Add a blog module to a new or existing page, add a blog module to a new or existing page, or adjust an existing blog module. In my example, you are adjusting the blog module on the blog page of the Acai bowl layout pack available in divi.
Let’s look at a page with default design settings. This page contains two blog modules, creating hero section and blog seed respectively. The blog module of hero section contains 1 post with full width layout. Displays recommended images, titles, dates, categories, and excerpts. Male and female blog posts will not overlap each other, so the blog will not be offset. Display 3 posts using grid layout. Include the same elements as the hero section and add pagination. Because the recommended image is smaller, it is easier to see the elements in the screenshot, so we mainly focus on the blog feed. In addition, in order to demonstrate how the combination works together in multiple modules, we will add several recommendation post modules.
To go to the male element tab and find the element tab in the divi blog module, first click the gray gear icon that appears when you hover over the blog module. In the module setup, the Contents tab opens. Scroll down to the element. A list of options is displayed that you can turn on or off by clicking toggle. They are available elements and can be used as any combination. Let’s look at them separately. Overview of various elements that can be displayed \/ hidden in the blog module. The following is each element. Elements can be individually styled on the design tab, and each element has a custom CSS field on the Advanced tab, making it easy to use CSS to specify targets.
The first element of the diagram that appears is the recommended image. This is the thumbnail of the post. As an article, it has attracted much attention. In addition, because it is a link, after clicking the image, the reader will go to the post. The reread button is followed by the reread button. This is a link to the entire blog post. Below the rest. The author displays the name of the author of the blog post. Displays the name as specified in WordPress user settings. Because you can click, users can view the archive page of their Creator. The date element displays the date of posting. Use the date format specified in WordPress general settings.
The category will display the names of all categories selected for the post. Each category name can be clicked, so readers can view archive pages for all categories. The number of comments shows the number of comments on the post. This tells readers that they can interact if they have comments or new ideas. Male excerpt displays small fragments of the post according to the method set for the post. It can be used as a preview or as a description of the post itself. It also works with the settings specified in the content area of the blog module settings displayed above the element settings. If there are custom article excerpts, you can set them to use and specify the number of characters to display. Set to display 100 characters.
Page number pagination: previous posts and latest posts
Show viewable links. In this way, it is not necessary to display all posts on the page, and users can still easily read them. Click the link similar to page turning to view the previous or next post. Male element combination and shape element combination to create interesting design. I want to activate all the content, as shown in the figure below, but this will complicate the page and provide readers with unnecessary information.

Male element combination option 1: to display the main picture, title and description, recommended picture, post title and description, just activate the recommended picture and excerpt. The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: The heroes section will continue to show the dates and categories you want to highlight. This helps minimize blog seeds and keep the page clean. Male element combination option 2: main picture and detail view button. This option includes recommended picture, post title and detail view button. The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: Blog seeds are more simplified. This doesn’t provide much information, but it works well as long as there are titles and recommended images. Descriptive headings can be very helpful.
Male element combination option 3: extract, detail view button and pagination. This combination includes read button, extract and pagination. There are too many posts on the blog, which can not attract the attention of readers. Male element combination option 4: main picture, author, excerpt and pagination. This option includes recommended picture, author, excerpt and pagination. The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: Without other factors, the writer’s name stands out. It is useful when there are many authors and want to attract attention. Male element combination option 5: main image, category, excerpt and pagination. This option will add recommended image, category, excerpt and pagination.
The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: Categories are more prominent in blog cards. If you want to display or have multiple categories, this category is good for display. Readers can easily select the categories they want to view, making navigation easier. Male element combination option 6: reading button, date, category, number of comments, excerpt and pagination, including reading button, date, category, number of comments, excerpt and pagination. Sounds like a lot, but it runs on blog feeds. If there is no recommended image, the blog card will take up less space. In addition, pagination is located elsewhere and will not hinder blog seeds.
The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: It works well in blog feed and still pays attention to recommended posts. Element combination option 7: multiple blog modules can be used with different elements to create more combinations. This combination uses only the experts and details view buttons, but the blog module has moved to the hero section next to the blog module that displays recommended posts. This gives the module a completely different feeling and purpose. The following is how the page is displayed. Highlight the latest post, and then provide the following two posts without leaving the latest post: It’s more like a magazine layout.
Male element combination option 8: add elements to the element recommendation posts of multiple modules, and minimize the blog feed for this option. For the recommended post blog module, we have enabled the recommended image, author, date, category, number of comments and excerpts. Male blog feed recommended picture, date and Ca of blog module
Categories, excerpts, and pagination are enabled. The blog page shows the appearance of the blog module. The two modules work well together. The first step is to get attention, including more information. This helps promote comments on the latest posts. Option 9: multiple blog modules have main pictures. This option uses the element combination of the recommended post blog module of the previous option, and moves the blog feed to the column next to the recommended post. This will create an interesting hero section. For the second blog module, you selected the recommended image, details view button, date, category, and excerpt. The method of viewing on the blog page is as follows: The recommended image has attracted much attention, but the second post will not be lost on the page. Reduce the number of elements to keep small blog cards clean and easy to read. Ending idea this is the post element display combination of divi’s blog module. If you have a single enabled feature, you will generate many design options and use multiple combinations to change the appearance of your blog page. Try the combination of various elements and determine what is most suitable. If unsure, try the \/ b partition test and check which items get the required response. We’d like to hear your opinion.
