Indigo — Blog & Category Layouts

Indigo lets you choose separate layouts for the homepage and for category/archive pages — sidebar or full width, and posts as a list, in columns, or as a large “Blog” view.

Layout options

Go to WPZOOM → Theme Options → General, section Layouts:

For Homepage and Category Pages separately, you can pick:

• Layout — Sidebar on the right or Full Width (categories default to Full Width).
• Posts Layout — List, 2 Columns (category default), 3 Columns, or Blog (large posts, one per row).

The Category Pages settings apply to category, tag, author, and date archives — and to the Blog page template.

What each post shows

The Homepage Posts and Category Posts sections on the same Theme Options page control each listing’s elements independently:

• Content — Excerpt (default), Full Content, or None (titles and meta only).
• Excerpt length — in words (default 50). Posts with a manual Excerpt always use it.
• Toggles for Featured Image, Category, Author, Date/Time, Comments Count, and the Read More button.

Creating a separate Blog page

If your front page is a static page (or you want latest posts on a dedicated URL):

1. Create a page called e.g. Blog and assign the Blog page template.
2. Add it to your menu.

The Archives template similarly generates a page listing your monthly archives and categories. See Page Templates.

Infinite scroll / Load More

Post listings can load more posts automatically:

1. Install Jetpack and activate its Infinite Scroll module.
2. In Settings → Reading, choose the infinite-scroll behavior (on scroll, or on click).
3. When using the on-click mode, the button label comes from Theme Options → General → Infinite Scroll → Load More Button Text (default: Older Posts).
