The Blog posts (blocks) preset is a prebuilt layout in Flexible content. Feature recent posts from a chosen Shopify blog.
Available in Be Yours 10.0.0 or later. The preset is optional and does not change existing pages unless you add it.
STEPS:
1. Add the Blog posts (blocks) Preset
- From Shopify admin, open Online Store > Themes and click Customize.
- Open the template where you want to display the content.
- Select Add section and open the Flexible category.
- Choose Blog posts (blocks).
- Edit the preset's blocks and click Save.
Note: Choose the preset when adding the section. It creates a Flexible content section with ready-made blocks; you can then customize those blocks.

The starting layout contains:
- Heading
- Blog posts
You can edit and rearrange the nested blocks in the Theme Editor.
3. Configure the Content

Add more blocks
- Select the Flexible content section, or a container block such as Row, Grid, Group, Banner, or Slider.

5. Notes and Troubleshooting
- The preset does not create blog articles; publish them in Shopify first.
- The View all action uses the selected blog, so ensure your blog page/template is set up.
- If something does not appear, check that the relevant block has content and is not hidden.
- For mobile layouts, review the parent Row/Grid/Slider settings where applicable and preview the page in mobile mode.
- If highlight styling is enabled, select the words to highlight and click the italic (I) button in the text editor.
