Customizing Blog Posts Element
Accessing Settings
When you hover over a collection element, its border will be highlighted in magenta . To access an element's settings, click on the gear ⚙️ icon or click directly on the element to open its' settings panel.
Top Margin
The Top Margin setting allows you to control the space between the current element and the element directly above it. If no previous element exists, the margin will be applied relative to the parent container, such as a row, section, or flex container. You can adjust the margin using the slider or manually input a value (px or percentage %), ensuring the spacing is consistent with your design needs.
Filters
The Filters settings allow you to control which posts are displayed:.png "image(346).png")
Filter Active Post: Check this option to exclude the currently viewed post from being displayed in the list of blog posts.
Filter By Categories: Show only blog posts that belong to a specific category. When selected, you can choose a category from the dropdown menu.
Collection Settings
The Collection Settings let you configure how your products are displayed on the page:
Items Per Row: Choose how many products to display per row.
Items Per Page: Specify how many products are shown per page.
Pagination Customization: Pagination divides your product list into multiple pages, allowing customers to browse through smaller groups of items instead of scrolling through an extensive list. This helps improve navigation, load times, and the overall user experience. You can customize its appearance to suit your design:
Hide Pagination: Enable or disable pagination for multi-page product collections.
Pagination Item Color: Set the color for pagination items.
Pagination Item Background Color: Define the background color for pagination items.
Pagination Border Color: Customize the border color for pagination items.
Pagination Active Item Color: Set the color for the currently active pagination item.
Pagination Active Item Background Color: Adjust the background color for the active item.
Pagination Active Border Color: Customize the border color for the active item.
