Layout and Display Options

Ruki provides a rich set of layout options to maximize exposure and engagement across pages and posts.

• Home Featured Posts: Get maximum exposure for your posts by adding them to the featured display on the homepage. Pick the posts you want to display or filter them by category or type, choose an offset, number of posts and post style, toggle post meta and set your own colour scheme to create an attention grabbing posts display.
• Homepage Post Blocks: Create multiple post block displays on your homepage, perfect for showing your favourite posts from multiple categories, post type or choose the posts you want to display in each block. Create your own colour scheme for each block and configure and combine blocks to create unique and exciting displays. Post blocks also support shop products so you can promote your favourite products from your WooCommerce shop on the homepage. View Post Blocks Demo
