Quick setup

Settings — General
| Setting | What it does | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Select blog | Chooses which Shopify blog to pull posts from | If you have multiple blogs, pick the one most relevant to this page's context. |
| Number of posts | How many posts are displayed (max 24) | 3–6 for a homepage section. Use more for a dedicated blog listing page. |
| Columns | How many columns the post grid uses | 3-4 for a compact grid. Avoid more than 4 on pages with a narrow content area. |
| Gap | Spacing between cards horizontally and vertically | Increase for an editorial, airy feel. Decrease for a dense content grid. |
| Enable carousel on desktop | Turns the grid into a scrollable carousel on desktop | Use when you have many posts but limited vertical space — lets customers browse without the section growing too tall. |
| Enable swipe on mobile | Allows swipe navigation on mobile | Recommended on — makes the element much easier to browse on small screens. |
Article card settings
Card style
| Option | When to use |
|---|---|
| Use global | Inherits card style from Theme settings → Product cards. Best for consistency — change once, update everywhere. |
| Style 1 / Style 2 | Quick presets if you want this section to look different from the rest of the store without custom styling. • Style 1: ![]() • Style 2: ![]() |
| Custom | Full control — add, remove, and reorder card elements (image, title, meta, excerpt, read more). Use when presets don't fit your layout needs. |
Image ratio
| Option | When to use |
|---|---|
| Use global | Matches image ratio from Theme settings. Recommended for consistency. |
| Adapt to image | Each card takes the natural dimensions of its image. Use when blog images have varied sizes and you don't want cropping. |
| Square (1:1) | Consistent, modern look. Works well on any grid width. |
| Portrait (3:4) | Good for editorial or fashion blogs where tall imagery is common. |
| Landscape (4:3) | Good for lifestyle, food, or travel content with wide hero images. |
Text align
| Option | When to use |
|---|---|
| Left | Default — works well for most layouts, especially multi-column grids. |
| Center | Good for editorial or minimal designs where centered text feels intentional. |
| Right | Rarely used — only when the overall page layout calls for right-aligned text. |
