{admin}/manage-website/blogs/add

What Is on the Screen

The page form, plus the category and newsletter settings that only articles carry.

Language tabs One tab per published language, at the top of the form.

Category Where the article sits in the blog.

Notification boxes Mail the article to your newsletter list, to clients who accept marketing emails, or to both, when you save.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) An indexing switch, a page title and a meta description.

The language tabs

The tabs choose which language you are writing. Title, Link Structure, Content and the SEO boxes hold one value per language.

The category, the images and Hide Sidebar are shared by every language, so they appear on the default language tab only.

The category

Category lists the blog categories you have created, with None at the top. An article filed under a category shows up in that category's listing.

Categories come from their own screen. With none created, the list offers None alone.

Notify newsletter subscribers mails this article to the addresses on your newsletter list. These are visitors who subscribed through the newsletter form on your website. You can add more under Clients > Marketing > Bulk Notifications > Create Draft > Newsletter Subscribed Users. Client accounts are not on this list.

Notify clients mails it to active clients who turned on Marketing email notifications in their preferences. These are the same clients Bulk Notifications reaches. Tick both to reach both groups. An address that is on the list and also belongs to a client gets a single email.

Both boxes appear while you are creating the article, not later. Each recipient gets the email in their own language. The mails leave in the background, so the save itself finishes at once.

In 5.0-beta.3 and earlier versions, only Notify newsletter subscribers is on this screen. To reach clients there, send the article from Bulk Notifications.

The web address

Link Structure shows the address the article will get, and follows the title as you type. The pencil button lets you rewrite the bold part.

The panel checks the address and warns you when another page already holds it.

Fields

Title Required on every language tab. Saving stops while one is empty.

Link Structure Optional. Left alone, it is built from the title.

Category Starts at None. One category per article.

Notify newsletter subscribers Off, and only on this screen.

Notify clients Off, and only on this screen. Reaches active clients with Marketing email notifications turned on.

Close Comments Off. Turn it on to hide the comment section on this article and stop accepting new comments; the global comment setting (Settings → Blog) applies to every article, this box closes only this one.

Hide Sidebar Off. Turn it on to show the article at full width.

Listing Image Optional. Shown next to the article in listings and in the preview when the article's link is shared (social media, messaging apps); without it the preview shows the site logo. The cover on the article page comes from the Background Image. The screen suggests 1440 x 900 px (16:10), up to 2 MB, JPG, PNG, SVG or WebP. The upload is scaled to 1440 px wide and keeps its own proportions, so the height is not fixed; a smaller image is not enlarged.

Background Image Optional. The screen suggests 1920 x 400 px, up to 2 MB, same formats. The upload is scaled to 1920 px wide and keeps its own proportions.

Content The article body, written per language in the editor.

Tags Optional, per language. Type a tag and press Enter. Tags are shown under the article on your site and are also used as the page's SEO keywords.

Enable SEO On. Off keeps the two boxes below from being saved.

Page Title Optional, per language. Empty falls back to the title.

Meta Description Optional, per language.

Tasks

Write and publish the article

Fill in Title and Content on the first language tab.
Open each remaining tab and write the same article there.
Back on the default tab, pick a Category and click Create. The article is saved as active and the article list opens.

Mail it to subscribers and clients

Go to the default language tab.
Tick Notify newsletter subscribers, Notify clients or both before saving.
Click Create. The emails are queued in the background and appear under Tools > Notification Queue; recipients receive them shortly after.

Things to Watch

The emails go out once

Both boxes work on this screen alone, and only during the first save. Editing the article later never mails anyone again, so tick the boxes before you click Create.

Every language needs a title

The save is refused when a language tab has no title, and the message names the language. Content may stay empty, a title may not.

Create the categories first

The category list is built from what already exists. Set up your blog categories before writing, or the article lands under None and misses the category listings.

Required Privileges

The screen and its save need MANAGE_WEBSITE_OPERATION. Without it the create button is missing from the article list.
