The Blog Posts module allows you to create and manage articles for the blog of the currently selected Perno Store. Each post can include formatted text, a main image, an author, a language, one or more categories, a publication status and an optional publication date.
Before creating a post, check the Context selector at the top of the page. Posts are managed separately for each store. You should also make sure that the required author profile and blog category have already been created.
