The following technique allows you to list your blog postings within your store's home page to instantly greet your visitors with blog information. This will require editing the HTML coding of your store's home.html template.
The first step is to retrieve a copy of your store's home.html template. To do this:
FTP into your site's FTP server and navigate to: web/assets/templates/[theme folder]
2. In your theme folder, locate and download your store's home.html template.
3. Open your downloaded home.html file in your HTML editing program, notepad.exe or your favorite text editor.
4. Using the program's search function, look for the code <!--END: CATEGORY_HEADER->
5. Immediately after this code in the home.html file, copy/paste the following HTML.
6. Save your edited home.html file.
7. FTP back into your site's FTP server and navigate to: web/assets/templates/[theme folder] as explained earlier.
8. Upload the newly edited home.html file to your theme folder.
The hard part's done. You will need to clear your store's cache to see the changes.
Log into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager.
Go to Settings > General > Store Settings.
Click on the General tab found at the top.
Look to the bottom right of the page and click on the clear cache button.
Your blog posts should now show up on your store's home page.
If you use a CORE theme, you can use the "Homepage Blogs" settings found within the Blog Settings page in Content>Blog section of your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager.
