Hello, I use symmetry theme and I’m looking to show the full blog posts when someone lands on the blog page. It’s an extra step for them to have to click on each blog post to read them. I’d like them to just be a scrollable list. Any idea of how to do this?
This is the type of thing new merchants do to make a poor user experience by dumping more and more into one area.
The blog page is a landing point for navigation not the end point for articles content.
Your store isn’t a facebook feed don’t treat it like one.
Think this through, as you add more and more articles both the LOADING and scrolling will get worse and worse.
Customers wont tell you why it’s bad when they could just bounce.
Don’t build for a pile of noise when wearing the designer hat, build in moderation for relevance.
There’s a good chance you need to instead be removing excess from such an area.
First of all, you’re tone is unhelpful. I’ve had my Shopify store since 2010 and my business since 2006. The reason I ask for this feature is because it doesn’t appear clear that the posts are click-able. To me, the “blog” page just looks like a rolling list of photos with a couple sentences beneath. Our blog posts are brief (we’ve been blogging for 20 years so we know a thing or two about it) so I think having the full post shown wouldn’t lead to endless scrolling. I was envisioning having the most recent three shown full with the list of other posts beneath. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
In most cards, the content is simply truncated after a certain character. If you open the theme editor, try to find a line similar to this one and remove the truncation. After that, the content should be displayed in full.
{{ article.content | strip_html | truncatewords: 30 }}
like this
{{ article.content }}
I don’t know anything about editing code. Could you tell me where in all these files I could find this?
