Magento2 : display static blocks in home page

Question

How to display static blocks in the home page. I want to show a static block on the home page.I am overriding module_cms and add this code in cms_index-index but it's showing only last block

<referenceContainer name="content.bottom">
  <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="block_identifier">
    <arguments>
      <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block1</argument>
    </arguments>
  </block>

  <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="block_identifier" after="-">
    <arguments>
      <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block2</argument>
    </arguments>
  </block>

How to show all blocks

You can set using page as well as layout file. Using Page you can set anywhere inside homepage and its easy to manage compare to layout file. — Rakesh Jesadiya, Dec 06 '16 at 11:11

You can do it in 2 ways.

From cms page add block to homage:

{{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" block_id="block_identifier"}}

From Xml File:

<referenceContainer name="content">
    <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="block_identifier">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block_identifier</argument>
        </arguments>
    </block>
</referenceContainer>

Hope this helps you

Keep below XML in your cms_index_index.xml file and check-in front,

You have to keep the same block_identifier for both static blocks.

You have to keep static block name as unique,

  <referenceContainer name="content.bottom">
        <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="block_identifier">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block1</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>

        <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="block_identifier-second" after="-">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block2</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
   </referenceContainer>

Replace block1 and block2 with your static block id in above XML code.

have you changed name same as above and have you create block1 and block2? – Rakesh Jesadiya Dec 07 '16 at 06:40
changed but not showing – User0434 Dec 07 '16 at 06:42
ok i got it its working – User0434 Dec 07 '16 at 06:45
if i add another block then – User0434 Dec 07 '16 at 06:46
Yes you have to first create static block and assign block id to block1 and block2 in above example. I have checked this – Rakesh Jesadiya Dec 07 '16 at 06:47
no iam asking how to give "after" – User0434 Dec 07 '16 at 06:49
you can set your block position using after="blockname" if you want to your block appear after some block then you have to give block name in after value if you keep "-" then this block will come after all block of same container. – Rakesh Jesadiya Dec 07 '16 at 06:52

Best way is, go to the layout file and copy the block description

<block class="Itheavens\Fanpage\Block\Index\Index" name="index.index" template="Itheavens_Fanpage::index/index.phtml"/>

and replace it with second bracket be like this

{{block class="Itheavens\Fanpage\Block\Index\Index" name="index.index" template="Itheavens_Fanpage::index/index.phtml"}}
