It looks like there are two different ways to display blog posts on the homepage and I’m trying to figure out how to control the number of posts.
One method is to go to Landing Page–>Featured Boxes Top (or bottom) and then I can choose how many posts are displayed. But if I just display one, the featured image for the post is stretched.
Alternatively, I can go to Landing Page–>Settings and set “Featured Content” to Posts. This shows more than one blog post. I only have 3, and it shows all 3. If I have 20, will it show 20? Is there any way to show just one? The featured image comes out better this way, but I only want to display one post.
The featured boxes location (either one of them) will display the number of posts configured from the selected category and in the configured column arrangement.
The featured content area will display the default “homepage posts list” (that is normally found in WordPress on the homepage) which lists all posts regardless of category and the limit here is the number in WordPress’ general settings.

I’m using featured images on blog posts. I literally have the Featured Boxes Top and Featured Boxes Bottom set exactly the same way and in the top, the pictures are displaying fine (I have 2 columns), but in the bottom they’re distorted (also 2 columns). If I do one column, they’re really stretched and distorted.
I’m worried that as we add to the blog, we’ll never get the pictures to look right in all cases on the homepage. Is there a trick to this?
If I used Landing Page–>posts, they display correctly, but I don’t have flexibility of how many to display (I only want one or two on the landing page, but want to show more on the blog page itself). It also doesn’t seem to allow a heading. So I prefer the Featured Boxes method.
By the way, the animated feature is really cool. I don’t know if we’ll use it, but it’s cool!
Did you try regenerating your featured images after activating the theme (or changing featured boxes size options)?
