The blog widget is a great feature indeed, but there’s a little problem, if I may say: there’s no way to show all the posts with a simple “Show More” button. I mean: I know we can hide the posts, but wouldn’t be a simplest way to include a show more button, so we can choose how may lines of posts we could add on a page load? ---

Hi there, @Giorgio_Fiorini 👋 Thanks a ton for sharing your thoughts with us! I couldn’t agree more that this option would be a great addition to the widget.

Do whatever you please but I beg you DO NOT CHANGE the URL query ?blogPost= for the permalink or that would be a REAL problem with our SEO ---

Do I get it right that you’ve experienced the issue with the link changing? If this is the case, please describe what’s happened. I’ll gladly look into this for you 🙂 ---

Nope, no trouble yet, but as you probably already know, permalink in blog posts should never be changed. We currently can choose only part of the URL while creating the post, BUT your PHP server add this query ?blogPost=name-of-the-article So that ?blogPost= should never be changed in the future, or the search engine will loose the URL connection. That’s it. ---

Ah, I see! Worry not - we don’t have any plan to change the link format in the future 🙂 ---
