No blog landing page and can only see one blog at a time

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

  • Main issue: The site’s blog landing page at /blogs returns a 404, and the navigation link routes users to the latest single article instead of a page listing posts. There are 7 blogs, and the owner wants a landing page showing recent articles plus side-menu categories.

  • Suggested approach: Check whether the theme includes a “blog archive” template (a template that lists blog posts or multiple blogs rather than a single article). If the theme lacks it, one needs to be created to display all blogs/posts.

  • Theme details: The site uses the Minimal theme. The poster is unsure where to find or enable the archive and asked for non-developer-friendly steps; they considered creating a new template via Edit code (e.g., an “archive” template) but don’t know what code to add or how it becomes editable.

  • Additional report: Another user on the Superstore theme has the same problem and cannot share a general blog URL, only specific article links. They recall previously having a landing page.

  • Status: No resolution yet. Action items are to verify the theme’s blog archive support and guidance on creating/enabling it if missing.

It’s my first time working on a Shopify site and I’ve got a problem with the blog.

What should be the landing page https://weewoollywonderfuls.com/blogs/ is a page 404. There are 7 blogs in total but it seems that the default is set up only to show the latest blog https://weewoollywonderfuls.com/blogs/how-to-crochet-a-magic-circle-for-beginners/how-to-crochet-a-magic-circle. So when you click on a blog in the navigation you don’t go to a blog landing page, you go to whatever the latest blog is.

I want to get the blog landing page back and then be able to see all the latest articles as well as the categories in the side menu. How do I do this? Or is there a link to the right article as I can’t see to find it in the help section.

Thank you.

Hello @Sam_Mc

Kindly check your theme if it has blog archive template. If it does not have then we need to create to show all the blogs.

Thanks for the reply @shozoid . I have no idea and neither does the owner. She thinks the blogs used to appear on one landing page but can’t remember for sure.

I will have a look around and see if I can find this but I can’t find it at first glance. Will try google to see what I find but if you have time, could you let me know where may I find these settings, please?

I am just updating some content and product but I’m not a developer so my coding knowledge is extremely limited. I need to work out if I can fix this myself or advise the customer to find a developer to do it. Thank you

Hello again @shozoid The theme is called Minimal. It looks like I need to do this by going into Edit the code, then go to to add a new template which I presume I call ‘archive’?

I am a bit lost as to what happens next. Do I need to add more code here before saving?

I am guessing once this is done I will then get a landing page the blog posts that is editable?

I’m getting this too - there is no landing to send site visitors to, they only have the option of clicking on a blog on our homepage. So I can’t send out a general blog link in an email to customers - only a specific link to a specific blog. I know I used to have a landing page because the header photo sizes are so odd. I use the Superstore template.

Thanks!
