Blogging is core WordPress functionality, and with Avada, we have added many ways to get the most out of this core custom post type. For a full rundown on how to blog, in conjunction with Avada, please see the full series of Blog Post type documentation here.
One of the best ways to add blog posts to a page however, is to use the Blog Element. This is a fantastic method to use, because it allows you to place your blog posts on any page, select any of our layouts, assign custom categories to display, and so much more. Using the Blog Element gives you the flexibility to add a blog feed on any page, and indeed, anywhere on the page. Each Blog element can have a different set of categories, layouts and other unique blog settings. It』s also great to use if you want to only display a few posts on a page along with other content. Before you can display blog posts, you must, of course, first create them.
