How to change default blog tempate in wordpress genesis framework?

Question

So I have a child theme which extends genesis framework.My child theme is basically using the Genesis blog article theme. I looked into the page_blog.php of the Genesis theme but it has only genesis loop running and says that code being used is in the file lib/structure/loop.php. I want to change the default blog article page, I want to show the author name, blog category, a published date which requires the change in the HTML. How can I do so?

Answer 1

if I got it right, you need to override files in the parent theme by recreating them (at least copy them) into the child theme directory>> so you need to copy the blog article page and change it,also you may need to create functions.php in the child for new functionalities for more details https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/

Answer 2

You have 2 options :

1. You can create your own page_blog.php file in your child themes root directory and add code directly to the file and modify the default functionality.

2. Or you can select the blog page template and use custom fields to control the query variables
