Blog Path

The URL path for your blog list page:

/blog

This creates: yoursite.com/blog

Canonical URL

Set the canonical URL for SEO:

https://yoursite.com/blog

Helps prevent duplicate content issues.

Blog Heading

The main title on your blog list page:

Our Blog

Or:

Latest Articles

Blog Sub Heading

Description text below the heading:

Insights, tips, and updates from our team

Post Order

Choose the order of posts on your blog list:

Category Colors

Your published categories are listed here with their post counts. Pick a color for each one. The color is used on the blog list, in the category bar, and in the related posts sidebar. Categories you don’t set get a default color based on their name.

Use + Add category to set a color before any post uses that category.

Related Posts Sidebar

When on, each blog post shows more posts from the same category, the list of categories, and a link back to the blog. On phones it appears below the article. It is on by default and works on posts you’ve already published.

Menu Links

Add navigation links to your blog page:

Saving Changes

Click Save after making changes. The blog list page updates automatically.

Categories on the Blog List

When your posts have categories, the blog list shows a category bar under the heading with the number of posts in each one. Visitors click a category to see only its posts.

A post’s category is set on the post itself. Use the same spelling on every post: “News” and “news” show up as two separate categories in the bar.

Blog Post URLs

Individual blog posts have URLs like:

yoursite.com/blog/post-title

The path is based on the blog post’s URL slug.
