Post Settings #
The Post Settings panel lets you control which posts are pulled into the slider.

- Further filter posts based on tags if you want a more curated set (for example, posts tagged “featured” or “recommended”).
- Orderby
- Choose how posts are ordered:
- Newest – Oldest (default) to show the latest content first.
- Other order options may be available depending on your implementation (Oldest – Newest, Random, etc.).
- Choose how posts are ordered:
- Post Elements
- Control which elements appear on each post card inside the slider:
- Categories – Displays category badges above the title.

How the slider behaves on the frontend #
- Posts are displayed as large, full‑width cards with featured image backgrounds, overlaid categories, and titles (matching the overall Blogsy card style).
- Navigation arrows let visitors scroll through multiple recommended posts.
- Because the section appears after users have browsed the main feed, it works as a “second chance” to catch their interest and keep them exploring related content.
Use the Posts You Might Like section to automatically highlight extra content your audience will enjoy and reduce the number of visitors who leave after viewing just one page.
