Create and edit blog posts

Write a new blog article with title, text, image, category, and SEO metadata, or edit an existing one.

Prerequisite: You have at least one blog category set up. If not, read Manage blog categories first.

Create a new post

1. In the sidebar, click News.
2. Click New entry (top right).
3. Fill in the fields in the modal (see below).
4. Click Save.

The New entry modal covers every field of a blog post.

The fields

Field	Required	Purpose
Image	yes	Post hero image. Opens the Media Manager.
Category	yes	Dropdown from News Categories.
Title	yes	The post title, also used as <h1>.
Short description	yes	1–2 sentence teaser for the overview list and the OpenGraph share card.
Text	yes	Main body text, edited in CKEditor. Supports headings, lists, links, images, embeds.
URL-Rewrite	yes	URL slug. Lowercase, hyphens, no umlauts. Published URL is /news/<slug>.
Meta-Tags	optional	Comma-separated SEO keywords.
Meta-Description	optional	SEO meta description (≤160 characters). Falls back to Short description if empty.

Rich-text formatting

The CKEditor toolbar offers headings (H2, H3), bold, italic, lists, links, and the Media Manager for inline images. Avoid H1 inside the body — the CMS adds an H1 from the post title.

Edit an existing post

1. In the News list, click the Edit (pencil) button on the row.
2. Change any fields.
3. Click Save.

The edit modal matches the New entry modal plus a language-tab row at the top.

Manage language variants

The edit modal has a language-tab row at the top. Click a language to switch. Every language-specific field (title, text, slug, meta) can be different per language.

New language starts empty

When you click a language tab that has no content yet, the fields are empty. Fill them in and click Save to create the translation.

The image and category are shared across all languages — you only pick them once.

Set the publication date

Posts default to the time of creation. If you want to pre-date or back-date a post, open the News list, click Edit, scroll to Published at (if visible), and set the timestamp.

Where the date shows up

The publication date drives sort order in the overview and the <time> element on the post page. It does not hide the post in the past or future — posts are live the moment they are saved.

Delete a post

In the News list, click the red Delete button on the row. Confirm once.

Deletion is permanent

There is no trash bin. If you are unsure, change the category to a "hidden" one you do not render, rather than delete.

Duplicate a post

Currently there is no duplicate button for blog posts. Workaround: open the post, copy the Text field into your clipboard, create a new post, paste.
