Managing blog posts

Open Contents > Blog posts to manage your store's articles. The list is labeled Blogs. Each row represents one post; categories are managed separately.

Before you start

Sign in as the owner or with Blog access. Prepare your text and images before publishing. Creating a category does not create a post or publish content.

Open the post list

1. Go to Contents > Blog posts.
2. Click Create post to start writing, or open an existing post to edit it.
3. Use Manage categories to organize the available categories.

The demo store's actual empty list. No post was saved for this guide. Select a screenshot to enlarge it.

When posts exist, the table shows their name, status, categories, author, and creation date. Open a row or its Edit action to work on that post.

Find and organize posts

Once the list contains posts, use search, filters, and sorting to narrow it down. Available filters include status, author, created/updated dates, and eligible custom fields. Clear the search or reset filters if a known post is missing. Changing pages clears the current row selection.

Categories group related posts. A post can have several categories; tags provide additional labels. Manage the category definitions in Managing blog categories, then assign them in the post editor's Organization panel.

SEO and readability scores are conditional on the SEO Audit app being installed. The absence of those columns or controls does not prevent normal post editing. A score is guidance, not a guarantee of search ranking.

Create or edit a post

Use Creating blog posts for the full writing, media, author, SEO, and save workflow. The editor has a writing canvas and a separate settings sidebar.

The real initial editor state. Published is selected by default; no save has occurred.

For an existing post, change the content or settings, review its status, and click Save. Reopen it to confirm the saved result. The editor's Undo and Redo control the writing document; they do not replace reviewing the sidebar fields.

Manage publication and deletion

The editor offers Published, Draft, and Archived:

• Published makes the saved post eligible for your storefront's blog display.
• Draft keeps unfinished work unpublished.
• Archived retains the post in admin while taking it out of the published content set.

Status changes must be saved. If a published post is not easy to find, check your storefront theme and navigation as well as its saved status. A saved post and a visible navigation link are separate things.

Use the row menu's Delete action or the existing post editor's action menu to remove a post. Selected rows also offer bulk deletion with a confirmation. Read the post name/count before confirming; use Draft or Archived when you want to retain the content rather than delete it.
