We’re thrilled to announce that the Wix Blog Post Collection is now available on Wix Code!
Starting today, if you have the Wix Blog on your site, your blog posts will be available as a collection in your Wix Code database.
By using data binding, you’re now able to:
-
Design your entire blog feed and existing post add-ons (e.g., Recent Posts).
-
Create new add-ons such as Popular Posts, Featured Posts, etc.
Please share what you create using the post collection - we’d love to see it.
Also, we’re always happy to hear from you - feature requests, feedback and more are welcome.

Hi there @maya-ekron super help here: Can I use hooks with this new collection? I want to trigger 3rd party service After Insert (ie new blog post is published). Even though hooks seem to be available, they don’t seem to be working so I’m concerned the Wix Blog is inserting entries into this collection and supressing hooks 
No pressure but I need this to deliver a website for a client… 
Thank you!
Please, Is it true only for the New Blog ?
Hi, yes, only to the new blog you can migrate easily from the old one, let me know if you need any help with it.
Hi, so basically your need is to be able to trigger something after a new post is published? Are there more cases or only when a new post it published?
It would be great if you could share with is your use case, it will help us to better design the future features
@maya-ekron for now I just have the need to have the hook run on post published. However it’s a basic expectation that the same hooks that can be used with regular collections would be used with the vertical collections… wouldn’t you agree?
Maya so am I right when I say that currently the hooks are supressed when the wix blog inserts a new record into the Blog$Posts collection?
@felipe-bustos Hey, so currently hooks are supported only in collections where you can actually add data. The posts collection is a read only collection, so therefore the hooks are not supported. We added your request to our wishlist, stay tuned!
Hi Maya-
Love the possibilities here, but I have to agree with Binyamin’s comment from early March about limitations. Any news yet on Author and Category data in the blog post collection? Those two items alone would add great value.
Hi, still work in progress I’ll update here once we have it live
