Can't change my blog layout (7.1)

Site URL: https://www.rachelfernandes.art/blog

Hi there! 🙂

I'm using Squarespace 7.1. and want to change my blog layout from list to grid. However, the Edit option isn't showing for me and I can't edit the full page, only posts.

Is there a way to change this?

Thanks in advance!

Edit the blog page section.

Change the layout.

Let us know how it goes.

I have this issue too. https://markduplock.com/

I have a section above my blog section and I cannot get the edit popup to show for the blog section, it only shows an edit popup for the section above it.

Open config, then pages, then choose the blog page, then you need to scroll down until you see the small menu block that says manage posts pop up, then click the pencil icon next to it that says edit section. 

Hi,

I know what's supposed to happen, but that isn't happening. I get edit popups for all the other sections on the page, except for the blog section. I have 2 blog pages on my site - the News page and the Free Fiction page. The Free Fiction page works fine - I get the manage posts popup. I don't get it on the News page though.

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean by 'open config, then pages.'

I don't have a 'config' menu - so I assume you mean the main menu?

Thanks

What happens if you move the page sections around. There are arrows for doing this on the page section controls.

Let us know what you find out.

Nothing happens. I can't move the section above the blog to a position below the blog.

I can create new sections above the blog and swap the positions of the sections above the blog, but none of the sections will move below the blog.

I also cannot create any sections below the blog. There is no option available.

Thanks

I just recreated the page in an offline page.

The page layout is as follows (markduplock.com):

Header

Blank section with 2 image blocks and a code block

Blog section

Footer

I started with a blog page template, deleted all the default posts and added 1 of my own. I added the blank section above the blog section and added the contents there. The page worked fine and I still had all the edit options available.

Then I added a 2nd blog post to the blog section and I lost all the edit options for the blog section.

 Not sure what's going on, but I think this is repeatable.

Thanks

So odd! Let me see if I can reproduce your steps and issue. Anything unusual about the content you are adding to the posts? Custom code? CSS? Javascript?

@MarkDuplock

Tried to follow your formula and had no issues. Doesn't mean I did exactly the same things you did that might be causing the issue.

The only thing I can suggest at this point would be to Contact Customer Support.

The op's link is  to a site using Native which is a 7.0 template. 

MarkDuplock, which page is your blog page? We can inspect it and see if there is a problem. 

It's the home page that's the issue. markduplock.com

I have a 2nd blog page at https://markduplock.com/free-fiction that uses the same template, but doesn't have additional sections on the page. There's no issues with that page.

I am using some custom CSS, but I've tried commenting it out and didn't see any improvement.

Cheers

Fixed it - it was my own fault, but you had probably guessed that already 😉

I had a div that wasn't closed in my code block in the top section. Fixed that and now I have the edit options for the blog again.

Thanks all for your time, sorry about that!
