The Boxlist and Postlist Custom Display Set is the initial set of custom displays for The Privateer WordPress Theme.
It includes 12 different custom displays, outlined as follows:
Page: Extra Column Boxlist
This display adds an extra list of content boxes to either side of the content area for page pages.
Page: Extra Column Postlist
This display adds an extra list of posts to either side of the content area for page pages.
The posts to be displayed are set by choosing a category to pull them from for each page that uses this display.
Page: Extra Two Column With Boxlist
This display places content normally, but adds two columns below the content, one side containing content areas and the other containing a list of posts.
It can also be used to place only content areas or a post list below it if wanted.
Post: Extra Column Boxlist
This display adds an extra column of content boxes to either side of the normal post content.
Post: Extra Column Postlist
This display adds an extra column of posts pulled from a specified category to the side of the normal content.
Home: Two Column Boxlist Postlist
This display adds an extra column of content boxes next to the normally displayed posts on your home page.
Check out my home page for an example of this display in use.
Archive Pages: Two Column Boxlist Postlist
Each of the archive pages ( tag archives, date archives, author archives, and category archives ) includes a custom display that will add a box list to the side of the normally displayed posts, just as the home page display for this set does.
404 Pages: 2 Column With List
The 404 page for this set can be configured to display one or two content columns of content areas as well as a list of posts at the top on either side.
This is a good way to showcase various features of your site and give people the latest information from you if they happen to hit a page that simply does not exist.
