Hello Charlie,
I'm excited to share with you that starting with Smartstore 5.0.0, you'll need to get the commercial Blog Plugin V5 to display your blog posts. This plugin brings a host of features to enhance your blogging experience, including:
- Blog posts with featured/preview images
- Tags for better organization and searchability
- Start and end dates for each post
- A comment function for engaging with your readers
- An RSS feed for easy content distribution
- Full Web API support included
In addition to the other features previously mentioned, Smartstore 5.0.0's included Web API plays a crucial role in streamlining and automating your blogging process:
- Automated Blog Generation: Create blog posts automatically from databases, product texts, AI-generated content, and text archives.
- Efficiency in Routine Tasks: Automate updates, tag management, and post scheduling.
- Seamless Integration: Easily connects with various databases and content management systems (CMS) for streamlined workflow.
- Time-Saving: Reduce manual labor, get more focus on content creation and audience engagement.
To see how this works in action, feel free to test drive it in our live demo at smartstore.com. If you’re interested in getting a price quote, please don't hesitate to write to sales (at) smartstore.com.
Additionally, if you have the Blog Plugin licensed and installed in Smartstore 5, your existing blog posts from Smartstore 4.2 will seamlessly transfer over, ensuring a smooth transition. Good to know: we offer upgrade services one-time or bundled with support contract.
Looking forward to helping you and your customers make the most of your blogging experience with Smartstore!
Best regards,
Stefan
