hi welcome to emediacoach I'm your expert instructor for the Astra theme
and today I'm going to talk to you about the block pro model which is available
to Astra Pro users if you are still using the free version of the Astra
theme and you want to buy the pro version of the Stratton and you can go
to emediacoach.com/astra and then you'll be redirected to the Astra's
website where you can buy the pro version of the Astra theme so let's go to our
test site and let's login to our dashboard
now let's go to appearance and then go to a strop shion's here you'll find a
variety of modules available to the Astra Pro users and if you don't have
the option to activate them then that means that you are using the free
version of the theme and you need to upgrade it to the pro version using the
link I gave in the description or even directly go to emediacoach.com/astra
So let's begin this tutorial so in this tutorial I am going to walk you
through to the block Pro module of a star protein so using this feature we
can change how our block page appears on our website so let's go to our website
and see how does the block page appear right now so this is how our blog page
is appearing right now but we can fully customize it so let me show you how you
can do that so before we start let me show you the
customize page so let's go to layout and then go to blog and now you can see that
there are two options available to us and when I go to block slash archived
you'll see that there are a few options available now if I go and activate this
feature here the block Pro module and I go there and refresh this page
let's cook a layout then blog and then blog / archive so as you can see the
functions have increased there because of activation on this module and now you
have much more control over the block page of your website so let me show you
what are the uses and benefits of these all features which we are having now
so as you can see currently we are having the grid layout in which there is
one grid and the grids are appearing one after another so if I change this to two
columns you'll see that there are two posts appearing next to each other so
this is the first post this is the second post and similarly you can add
space between the Pooh's so this piece has been added between the boosts and
similarly you can increase it to three columns or four columns but I will keep
it to because it because two looks good now you can see that there is peace
appearing here because the length of these two posts are not equal so let's
click on necessary effect and you will see that
you this piece is utilized by
another booth so as you can see without any coding we can fully customize this
and this looks beautiful and excellent so similarly you can add highlight first
post or you can make it a featured post so a special highlight will be added to
the first post as you can see the phones have become bolder from compared to
other post now let's disable this because it's not
much of value similarly if you want to show the publishing date on the blog
post then you can click on enable date box you'll see a date option here and if
you want to customize it you can just make it a circle or a square and if you
want to make this image full size then you can just click on remove featured
image padding and this image will be shifted to full size so this looks
excellent now this is how a block should this is how a block page should be
appearing on a website now let's go to other option so the blog post content
should be an X cut or the full content for those people who don't know what X
curve is it is a short summary of the blog post and I'll show you how you can
do that so let's go to our website and let's go to blog let's go to this post
and let's click on edit post
so as you can see this is the content to oppas and this is the heading so if
you want to add an ex cut to it just copy a small sub Maria fear blog post or
write it yourself and then you can go here and add an ex curve to the blog
post and then click on update so this is how you can add an ex curve to the blog
post and if you want to show only the X curve then you can show it using this
and you can also add account that this is the maximum number words a letter
should be appearing here or you can also choose to show the full content of the
blog post so that no heat more button will be appearing and if you want to
customize the read more button here now you can add it as a button
and you can display text as read
and similarly there are many functionalities you can use it for now
post pagination you can add it a number or infinite scroll in the numbers if you
have more and more posts then a number will be appearing here like 1 2 3 dot
the dot hundred and if you have an infinite squirrel what will happen is
that whenever you scroll more and more posts will be appearing one after
another so it depends on your own choice that what type of thing you want to keep
on your website so these are the features available for the Astra true
people and these options here are available to the free users as well
using these features like you can just hide the featured image if you want or
you can hide the title and the meta blob
so these are just various features available for all the users and these
are the pro features and similarly if you want to customize the size of your
featured images these images then you can do it by using this size but I
recommend you remember to modify this because this looks good and I don't
think there is a need to modify that similarly you can add a blog content
with to default or custom custom means like you can set the width of the globe
so as you can see the blog page sweat has been decreased but I'll recommend
you to keep it default because it looks good that way so this was all about the
blog Pro module of the Astra Pro theme and in the next videos I'm going to talk
