    Hi,

    URL:  mikemetcalfe.co

    My homepage is pulling posts which is fine, but trying to make Home, look like my Blog. page?

    I think this means removing the 4 grid post format but unsure how to achieve that, if needed.

    Any suggestions? Thks

    In your home.php file:

    /** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop */

    function eleven40_grid_loop_helper() {
    
    	if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
    		genesis_grid_loop( array(
    			'features' 			=> 1,
    			'feature_image_size' 		=> 0,
    			'feature_image_class' 		=> 'alignleft post-image',
    			'feature_content_limit' 	=> 0,
    			'grid_image_size'		=> 'grid-thumbnail',
    			'grid_image_class'		=> 'alignnone',
    			'grid_content_limit' 		=> 250,
    			'more' => __( '[Continue reading]', 'genesis' ),
    		) );
    	} else {
    		genesis_standard_loop();
    	}
    
    }

    You could change the number next to "features" to the number of posts you want on the front. Then remove the three lines beginning with "grid".

    Or, you could change the settings in Settings > Reading - make the Blog page your home page.

    Whichever works best for you.
