Is there a way to automatically have blog posts view in date order?

drizz — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 23:39:17 GMT

I recently started a blog. I added a second post today and see that it is not at the top of the blog. I'd like to be able to

1. set it up so the posts automatically appear in date order

2. be able to manually move the most recent post to the top

I did try and move each entry today with no luck.

Thank you. Diana

Hello there, @drizz 😊👋

With the Square Online editor, you are able to drag and drop the blog posts in the order you would like them in.

When you go into your editor:

1.) Click on the arrow pointing down next to "home"

2.) Choose the standard page "Doxie's Blog"

3.) On the left-hand side, a panel will show options: Click on "Text and Image"

4.) This should open another panel on the left-hand side

5.) You should see your two blogs under the heading "Group"

6.) Click and hold the blogs and drag them into the order you want

Try these steps to arrange your blogs and let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for the response. I did try that and just did again. I can pick the line up but it won't stay. When doing this with categories, you can see a solid line where you want your item to be. On this blog, there is no line showing for placement.

Hey @drizz!

Have you tried clearing cache and cookies and then retrying? Also, what browser are you using? I currently use Chrome, and I am able to see that solid line you are referring to that happens with Categories as well.

I'm on chrome as well. I really hate clearing cookies. hahaha It's worth a try after I try again on the site.
