This widget is used to display groups of posts that you want to display to your customers in different areas of the site. This widget can be used on multiple different layouts. See how to use it... What are Post group and Containers?

This widget will show your latest posts from across all blog categories. It can be used on multiple layouts including the blog homepage layout.

This is the latest posts that are associated with a given category. Mostly this is used inside the blog category layout.

Creation date: This is the date that you first created the post. It will be used as the published date on the storefront posts only if the post doesn't have an Active from date.

Active from date: This is used to determine the published date shown on the storefront. This also determines the sort order of the posts. You can use this to publish posts in the future.

Active to: This determines when the post will be unpublished. This is helpful for posts that are only available for a period of time.

Sticky posts are handy way to "stick" important posts to the top of your Blog homepage. https://docs.evolutionx.io/en/articles/6135100-blog-sticky-posts

Post groups and containers allow you to create groups of posts that you want to show to your customers in different places on the storefront based on certain rules (Search keywords, Categories, Products, etc ). This works with the "Blog Featured Posts" widget.

Example: Let's say that you wanted to show your most popular furniture posts when a customer does a search for "office desks" on the storefront.

Create a group: Add your posts and the rule for Search keywords.

Create a container: Associate your group to the container.office desks

Add the Feature Blog widget to the correct layout: Associate the Blog container to this widget. In this case we use the "Search result" layout as that will be the layout used when the customer searches "office desks".

See the results: Do a search on the storefront for "office desks"

By default the Blog Post layout does not have the Products List widget added to the layout. Simply add the widget and your products will be displayed on your blog posts.

The height of the image is not as important but a recommended size would be no more than 3-400px high.

When you create a blog category or blog homepage category for the first time, it may not show. This could be do to the "Hide empty categories" toggle. To get it to show simply go into your Catalog container and hit "Save". This will kick-off the process to find any new categories and get them indexed.
