[DAWN] How to Add 2 Columns - And multiple rows for one of them

Topic summary

Goal: Create a blog layout in the Dawn theme with two columns—a large left column (single post) and a right column showing multiple smaller rows (e.g., four posts). An image mockup was provided to illustrate the desired design.

Constraints: The built-in Multicolumn section did not allow multiple stacked rows on the right column. All tiles (left and right) must link to blog posts, not products.

Guidance offered: A responder stated that if the theme lacks a section like this, the solution is to build a custom section.

Latest update: The original poster requested pointers or learning resources to code this custom section.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No code, tutorials, or implementation steps have been shared yet. Key open needs: how to implement a custom section to achieve the 1-left/4-right layout and how to link each tile to blog posts.

Dear all,

I would need help for these two bullets:

  1. I need the following design for my Blog, I have been trying multicolumns theme but I wasn’t able to add multiple rows in the right column | 1 | 4 |:

Do you have any tip?

  1. After the step above, I need all the rows (The big one on the left column, and the smal ones on the right column) to be linked to my Blog posts (not any product). Is there any way?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards;

Hey @capablancaR ,

If there is no section like this in your theme then you need to create a custom section.

Thanks,

Ritu
