Blog Widget Feature Upgrade

Ask the Community General Questions

The scrolling, pagination, and sorting of posts — at least by creation date — are, in my opinion, three features that should be integrated into the Blog immediately in order for it to function flawlessly.

Thank you!!

Hi there, @Yannis_Agelidis :waving_hand:

Many thanks for sharing your improvement ideas with us!

  • We already have a request for the Sorting by date option. Feel free to upvote it: Sorting by date. Just to confirm, would you like to add this option just for internal use or do you mean to your website visitors sort posts?

  • Could you please elaborate on where exactly you’d like to add scrolling?

  • Pagination shows up when you have more than 16 posts in your blog. Would you like to have an option to display fewer posts per page?

Hello!!!

Regarding the sorting of posts, it would be useful to give the editor the ability to customize the display order of the posts in the list (internal use), beyond the creation date.

As for scrolling, a scrollbar could be added on the right side of the posts section.

Regarding pagination, it could be useful to allow fewer posts per page to be displayed, for example 6, 9, or 12 posts per page.

Thank you!!

Got it, thanks for clarification!

We already have 2 ideas mentioned on the Wishlist. Feel free to upvote them:


Regarding the scrollbar, could you please send me a link to the page, where your widget is installed? I’ll be happy to check things for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello!!!

In the image I’m sending you, you can see the area (highlighted in green) where the published posts are displayed. In our example, there are 9 posts in total. To view the remaining posts, I am required to scroll down the entire page, whereas it would be much more practical to scroll only through the posts section without scrolling the whole page.

Thank you!

This code should do the trick:

[class*="layout__Grid-sc"] {
  overflow: auto;
  max-height: 500px;
}

Please add it to the Custom CSS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings and let me know if it helped :slightly_smiling_face:
