Quick Answer
How do you create a blog post in BizStackPro?
Navigate to Sites → Blogs, open or create a blog site, and select the option to create a new post. Add the post title, description, featured image, author, category, keywords, and URL slug. Build the article in the editor, review the settings, then publish immediately, schedule it, or save it as a draft.
Understanding the Blog Post Workflow
Creating a blog post in BizStackPro involves more than entering text into an editor. Each post also includes design choices, author and category information, search settings, publishing controls, and website-display options.
Completing these areas carefully helps your article display correctly, remain organized inside your content library, and give search engines the information they need to understand the page.
Some important post details may be difficult or impossible to change after publication. Reviewing the author, category, keywords, and URL slug before publishing can prevent avoidable corrections later.
Review permanent details before publishing
Confirm the author, category, keywords, and URL slug before the post goes live. The original guide states that these details cannot be changed after publication.

Step 1: Create a New Blog Post
Start by opening the correct blog site and creating a new post record.
Open Sites
From the BizStackPro dashboard, select Sites from the left navigation menu.
Open Blogs
Click Blogs to view your existing blog sites or create a new one.
Select the Blog Site
Open the blog where you want the new article to appear.
Create a New Post
Select the option to create a new blog post, then enter the title, description, and featured image.
Add the Featured Image
Upload the image that will represent the article in blog lists, previews, and other available layouts. The original guide lists a maximum file size of 10MB.
Step 2: Design and Format the Blog Post
Use the built-in editor to create the article layout and format the content for easier reading.
Add Written Content
Enter the article text and divide longer sections with clear headings and shorter paragraphs.
Format Important Information
Use available formatting controls such as bold text, ordered lists, unordered lists, links, images, and videos.
Build the Layout
Configure available layout options, including the stated three-column format and pagination controls.
Add a Table of Contents
Use the editor's Table of Contents option to help readers navigate longer articles.
Use Saved Sections
Add reusable sections when you want consistent calls to action, notices, or branded content across multiple posts.
Add Advanced Elements
Use supported elements such as SVGs, maps, and custom code when the article requires additional functionality or design.
Design for readability first
Use headings, short paragraphs, lists, and visual breaks so readers can understand the article without facing a large block of uninterrupted text.
Step 3: Configure the Blog Post Settings
Review the organizational and search-related settings before the post is published.
Step 4: Publish, Schedule, or Save the Post
After reviewing the content and settings, choose the publishing option that fits your workflow.
Publish Now
Make the completed article available immediately.
Schedule
Choose a future date and time for the article to become available.
Save as Draft
Keep the article unpublished while you continue writing, editing, or reviewing it.
Complete the final review before publishing
The original instructions state that the author, category, keywords, and slug cannot be changed after publication. Verify each one carefully before making the post live.
Step 5: Add Blog Posts to Your Website
Use the Blog Post List element to display published articles on a website or funnel page.
- Create or edit the website or funnel page where the posts should appear.
- Add the Blog Post List element to the page.
- Select the preferred layout and pagination settings.
- Add category and author filters when you want to limit which posts are shown.
- Configure navigation buttons such as More Stories.
- Use global sections when the same branded content should appear across multiple pages.
Step 6: Import Existing Blog Posts
The Blog Importer can help move an existing content library into BizStackPro.
Start the Blog Importer
Open the importer and provide the sitemap or source requested for the existing blog.
Scan the Existing Blog
Allow the tool to identify the available posts. The original guide states that up to 1,000 posts can be imported.
Map the Content Fields
Match information such as title, publication date, content, author, category, and images to the corresponding BizStackPro fields.
Refine with CSS Selectors
Use CSS selectors when more precise control is needed over the sections imported from the source website.
Import as Drafts
Bring the posts into BizStackPro as drafts so each article can be reviewed before publication.
