E-commerce: creating blog posts

Browsing to ‘Sales channels > E-commerce > Blog’, you can create and publish content for the blog page of your website, dividing them by category if you wish. You can also do the same in multiple languages.

Blog categories are used to group posts by topic. Click ‘+ Add category’, assign a language to the category, then enter the requested content. If your website is multi-language, e.g. Italian/English, you need to associate the Italian category to the corresponding English category. Here are the steps to take:

1. Create category A, with Italian as the language
2. Create category B, with English as the language
3. Modify category A and click ‘Add corresponding category’
4. Select category B and save
5. Modify category B and click the ‘Add corresponding category’
6. Select category A and save

By doing so, when users change the language of the site, the system will bring them to the corresponding category in the language they've selected (instead of to the generic homepage). 

Creating posts is very easy. All you have to do is click the ‘+ Add post’ button, set it to visible or hidden, chose the language of the post, enter the content, then associate it to the category (or categories) in the corresponding language.

If your website is multi-language, e.g. Italian/English, you need to associate the Italian post to the corresponding English post. Here are the steps to take:

1. Create post A, with Italian as the language
2. Create post B, with English as the language
3. Modify post A and click ‘Add corresponding post’
4. Select post B and save
5. Modify post B and click ‘Add corresponding post’
6. Select post A and save

By doing so, when users change the language of the site, the system will bring them to the corresponding post in the language they've selected (instead of to the generic homepage).
