Yes! A plugin that provides features to create an individual blog PAGE layout, would be awesome.
With the “new” Divi Theme Builder blog posts can be designed quite individually, but the blog page is still very very limited. So a plugin that allows to create really individual designs for the blog page would be awesome.
What I would like:
That you have the freedom to place the individual elements of a post preview like headlines, meta texts, post pictures etc. completly free and thus create completely unique blog page designs.
Seems like a lot of this could be done with Divi Machine, except the trending post part?
Is it the blog listing or the individual blog pages?

More varied layouts than “Full Width” listing or “Image Over Title” Grid
Thanks!
What are the main points that you would like to have/see in a plugin like this?
What is missing?
It is a constant source of irritation that the built-in blog element in Divi doesn’t have the facility to display by post ID, that would be top of my list for any new blog feature. Not having it available makes selective blog display almost impossible. We end up building pseudo blog layouts using blurbs, which is ridiculous
The best example for me is our homepage, you’ll see differents blog laytouts, I do a mix with Divi, Divi Blog Extras and Featured and Trending Post Pro : https://groupe-ecomedia.com/
Absolutely agree. Also existing extensions from the Divi marketplace are not very good. Either they don’t work or look not better than the default Divi blog layouts.
See my message above, would be good to hear feedback from you on this
