Post Layout

Here you can specify the layout that is applied to posts on your site. The option can be set independently for archives, single posts and the homepage component. The options are:

Default – the default post layout
Meta Right – Flips the content and the meta arranging the meta data (categories / tags etc) to the right of the content
Meta Inline Top – Removes the two column post layout, placing the meta data inline, above the post content
Meta Inline Bottom – Removes the two column post layout, placing the meta data inline, beneath the post content

Each layout will align perfectly to the Storefront grid.

Blog archives full width

Applies a full width layout to blog archives. This includes categories and tags. The post layout columns will automatically adjust to align to the Storefront grid based on your post layout.

Blog post full width

Applies a full width layout to individual blog posts (single.php). The post layout columns will automatically adjust to align to the Storefront grid based on your post layout.

Magazine layout

Arranges blog post archives into a magazine layout. Posts are set in two columns. The magazine layout will work in combination with any post layout, but you might find readability improved by selecting one of the inline post layout options if you need a sidebar on your blog pages.
