Forge - Blogs and Blog posts

Shopify allows you to multiple Blogs in your store. Think of a Blog as a magazine and the Articles within that blog as it's pages. The Blog page of your theme will show your articles in a chronological order - most recent first based on the published date of the article.

Blog section settings

The Blog contains settings which control the appearance of its content.

  • Text
    Blogs do not have a description area within Shopify, optionally use this area to add some text content to your Blog page.
  • Show tag linklist
    Shows the tags of the articles that can be clicked on to show more articles with the same tag.
  • Text alignment
    Choose text alignment of the above content.
  • Show published date
    Toggle the date the article was published
  • Show excerpt
    Toggles visibility of the article excerpt
  • Show author
    Toggles visibility of the article author
  • Show tags
    Toggle the visibility of tags applied to the article which can be used to show a filtered view of other posts sharing the same tag.
  • Show comment count
    Shows the number of comments on each blog post.

Tip: When creating Blog posts we recommend adding a featured image and using the excerpt input field, the excerpt will show on your blog page and acts as an introduction to the article.
