You can now do a LOT MORE with Wix Blog!
-Design your entire blog feed and existing post widgets (e.g. Recent Post).
-Create new widgets such as Popular Posts, Featured Posts etc.
Hi guys,
I’m Maya, a Product Manager from the Blog team. Please share your feedback with me! I’d love to see stunning examples of what you’ve created
I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE (WIX) LIFE FOR THIS!
Thank you!
Us too!
Hey Maya -
Just making sure I’m not missing it - but right now, there’s no way to set up a dynamic page for a blog post and have rich text or the blog content (ie- images/links/etc) populate on the blog page. It will only sync to plain text?
So besides giving us access to the content, it doesn’t currently serve the purpose of custom designing a blog post page, because it won’t accurately output a blog post the way it’s uploaded to Wix blog. Correct?
Is this live for clients accounts? I usually transfer the sites to clients. I still update their site but not sure if these features go live on their end.
@idco Hey, yes, you are correct. Currently the main thing that you can do is build posts widget.
This is only phase 1, there is more to come so stay tuned
Hi, eventually it will be available for all users. Currently it is available only to the experts community.
I love this!!! This is exactly what we need! Thank you so much!
So glad you like it
I’m so happy to hear it! share your results!
Hi Maya, I just can’t see this in my account?
@hello31529 Hi, you just need to enable developer tools and you’ll see it
Hi Maya!
Using it right now as a way to store case studies, but definitely missing the Categories column in the collection. I thought that would have been in the beta. Is this something you guys are planning on adding soon?
Also will there be a way for us to import posts? Sometimes clients move from other platforms and I end up with this huge list to import
@christopher-derrell Yup, it is in our plans. Thank you for the feedback! And we’d love to see your results
@consultazilla This is a cool suggestion! we’ve added it to our wishlist
Yeah - but I can’t do basic things like schedule a post or add to social media like the old blog. From my point of view WiX is wasting time with these updates instead or working on basic functionality!!
What basic functionality do you think is missing? Make a constructive thread around it and let’s discuss. =)
Hi Brett,
The standard blog needs scheduling at least. It’s really need I can manipulate the blog data now!
