Solved How do I edit the blog post page?

    I want to edit elements of my blog post page, but when I follow the instructions to do that, I just see the standard blocks on the edit page, and I can't see what they are for. As well, there's no button on the edit page that I can click to edit the page on the front end, and when I navigate to that and am on the front end and I click in the blocks, nothing happens.

    Another thing that's confusing is that on the top of the page is a banner that says, "Please enter your purchase code to unlock all features of the pro version."

    Is this supposed to be for Divi, or something else? This doesn't show up on any other pages that I go to in edit mode.

    You will need to use Divi Theme Builder to edit it: WP Admin > Divi > Theme Builder. Create a new template for 'Blog'.

    Thanks, I already have a blog post page that my site's original developer built.

    And as I described, when I go to it from the builder, I am not able to edit it, none of the blocks respond when I click on them and try to edit them. That's why I am asking how to edit it.

    As mentioned, the blog page cannot be edited in the usual page. You will need to edit it in Divi Theme Builder.
    **Though, provided your blog page is being set at WP Admin > Settings > Reading > Posts Page > Blog

    I have Blog set as Posts Page under Settings > Reading as you descrbe, but when I go to the Divi Theme Builder, the Blog page (the index page for all the blogs that is updated every time I create a new blog) isn't there. Yet I do have a Blog page. In the Theme Builder I have a theme there for the home page and for the individual blog, but not for the Blog page.

    Then you will need to create a new template for Blog & customize it & see if it shows up on your blog page.

    I don't get that. Clearly the template for it already exists and is in use. I just need to find where to edit it.

    It's using the default Divi archive blog template (which cannot be edited). So, the only way to edit it is to create a new blog template in Divi Theme Builder.

    Thank you very much for pointing that out to me. Any idea why Divi doesn't want the default to be editable?

    Cause the default archive is built with hard coded PHP. And if you want it to be customizable with Divi Builder, then you will need to create a new template using Divi Theme Builder.

    I see. Well, thank you very much for your help and clearing all that up for me!
