Hi, when I try to insert a blog post element in my project it doesn't show. The only thing that shows up is an empty bar. I've watched a tutorial on how to insert a blog post on Brizy Cloud and when is inserted a blog post element that video shows a customizable element with image, text and a button linked to the post, but I don't see anything of this.

Can you help me to know is it's a bug of my Brizy cloud profile?

Thank you

  Hi Federico,

  The Posts element displays the list of blog posts you have on your website. You should have a few blog posts added to your website before adding this element. If you have not already, please add a few sample blog posts following the procedure in this video. https://youtu.be/j17RnwhE8Yw

  Great! I've inserted some posts and now they show up.
  But now what I having problems with is the content of each post.
  Let me explain: when I create a post I insert title, image and content. But when I click on the button with label " Read post" it shows me a blank page.
  To display the post I have to fill all the content of that blank page with text and image elements.
  So what I'm asking is: what is the utility of filling all the blog elements during the creation of the blog post if I have to fill the post destination page with all that elements again?
  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

  Thanks

  Hi Federico,

  When you initially add a blogpost, you enter the meta data about the blogpost. This includes

  1. Post Title
  2. Featured Image
  3. Excerpt
  4. Any other custom fields you add like Author Name, Date of Publishing etc.

  Once you save the meta data about the blogpost, you then click on 'Edit' at the bottom to add the blog post content.

  A blank page will open where you can design your blog post structure and also add the blog post content. You normally add the global header first. The blog post hero block normally contains all the meta data and it is made a global block. You could add the Title, Featured image categories, post info etc in the blog post hero block.

  In a block below the hero block, you add the blog post content. You could add all the blog post content in a single block or if required you can add multiple blocks. At the bottom of the page, you add the global footer.

  The blog post meta data is added separately because it is also used for listing of blog posts. The Title, the Featured Image, the Author Name etc are used while listing the blog posts. Hence the meta data is entered once and reused multiple times.
