The Blog posts collage section lets you display recent articles from a selected blog in a collage-style layout. It is useful for featuring editorial content, announcements, guides, or stories on the homepage or other store pages.
The section automatically pulls articles from the blog you select in the theme editor. The first article is displayed as the main featured article, while the remaining articles appear beside it in a smaller layout.
How to Set Up the Blog Posts Collage Section in Concept
STEPS:
Add the Blog posts collage section
Open your Shopify admin and go to Online Store > Themes.
Find the Concept theme and click Customize.
Open the page template where you want to show the blog collage.
Click Add section.
Select Blog posts collage.
After adding the section, move it to the desired position on the page.
Click Save when finished.
Select the blog and number of posts
Open the Blog posts collage section in the theme editor.
Use the Blog setting to select the blog you want to display.
Use Blog posts to choose how many articles should appear in the collage.
The section supports 2 to 4 posts.
The layout adjusts automatically based on the number of articles displayed.
- The first article is shown as the main featured article.
- The other articles are shown as secondary articles.
- If the selected blog has fewer articles than the selected post limit, only the available articles will be displayed.
Enable Show “View all” button if you want to add a button that links customers to the full blog page.
The button only appears when the selected blog has more articles than the number displayed in the section.
For example, if the section displays 3 posts and the blog has more than 3 articles, the View all button can appear in the section heading area.
