Blog not displaying properly

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog is not displaying properly. The preview content seems to have moved into a side bar. Is there a problem with WordPress or do I have an issue?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    It looks like it is just the front page. When I click on the articles, that page displays okay

  • Hi Steve,

    My blog is not displaying properly. The preview content seems to have moved into a side bar. Is there a problem with WordPress or do I have an issue?

    Thank you for reaching out! You mentioned your preview content moved into a sidebar. Are you referring to how the post text is sitting off to the right side of your images? If so, that is happening because your blog template is currently set up using a side-by-side column layout.

    You can easily fix this by moving the text block out of that column so everything stacks vertically. I have recorded a quick walkthrough to show you how to rearrange it:

    How to fix it:

    1. Go to Appearance → Editor and open your main blog template.
    2. Click the List View icon (the three stacked lines in the top-left corner) to see your layout structure.
    3. Find the Excerpt block inside the columns.
    4. Click and drag the Excerpt block up, dropping it directly underneath your Title block.
    5. Click Save in the top-right corner.

    If you need a refresher on how to move blocks around using that left panel, you can check out our WordPress.com List View Support Guide.

    Let me know if that is indeed what you were looking to fix, or if you run into any snags trying it out.

    Thank you so much for responding. I managed to get it back close to the way it was before. It looks much better now. I’m not sure what happened, but this morning it was totally messed up.

    I was going to mark this resolved but I don’t see an option to do that.

    Thanks again.
