  Hello

  Please advise how I get the blog view on my homepage as per the theme demo. I have read the tutorial but it doesn’t display how it shows on the demo

  Exactly what part of the demo home page do you mean?

  The blog snippets on the left side under the welcome spiel

  That can be added to your content with the WPBakery Page Builder using the “Post List” element.

  To emulate what we have done on our demo home page, add a “Post List” element to your content and in the “Post List Settings” window make these settings…

       Set Posts per page to 2.
       Set Post types to “Post”.
       Set Template to “Blog – Image Left”.
       Set Categories to home

       

  You can also achieve the exact same thing with a shortcode added to a “Raw HTML” element…

  [blog template="blog-image-left" posts_per_page="2" category_name="home"]

  For our demo content we assigned the demo “Take Control of Your Content” and “Unlimited Potential, and Colors” posts to a category named “Home”, and we gave each of those demo posts a manual excerpt.

  Please let me know if you need more help with this.
