The Blog section controls the display of posts on the main blog page, category/tag archive pages, and blog list templates — the listing pages where multiple posts are shown together.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Blog Posts Page Title | Sets the page title shown in the inner page header when viewing a single blog post. Default: ‘Blog’. |
| Blog Archive Page Title | Sets the secondary bar title shown on blog archive pages (e.g. browsing by date). Default: ‘Archives:’. |
| Blog Tag Pages Title | Sets the secondary bar title shown on tag archive pages. Default: ‘Tag Archives:’. |
| Blog Posts Layout | Choose between a full-width List layout (one post per row) or a Grid layout (multiple posts per row). Default: List. |

| Display Post Author | Toggle whether the author name is shown on blog listing pages. |
| Display Post Date | Toggle whether the publication date is shown on blog listing pages. |
| Display Post Categories | Toggle whether category labels are shown on blog listing pages. |
| Display Featured Image | Toggle whether the post’s featured image is shown on blog listing pages. |
| Link Featured Image to Lightbox | When enabled, clicking the featured image opens the full-size image in a lightbox instead of navigating to the post. |
| Display Post Excerpt | Toggle whether a short preview of the post content is shown in listings. |
| Strip HTML from Excerpt | Removes HTML formatting from excerpts so only plain text is shown. |
| Excerpt Length (Words) | Sets the number of words shown in the post excerpt. Default: 30. |
| Display Read More Button | Toggle whether a ‘Read More’ button is shown on each listing item. |
Note: These settings apply to the main blog page (set at Settings > Reading), category pages, and tag archive pages. Individual post pages are controlled separately under Single Blog Posts.
