OpenBlogware

OpenBlogware adds blog functionality to your Shopware 6 store. Posts can be created and managed directly in the administration under “Content > Blog”, allowing you to complement your shop with editorial content such as news, guides or background articles.

For its storefront presentation, the plugin provides CMS elements for the post listing and individual blog posts. The corresponding CMS layouts are created during installation. To include the blog listing in your shop navigation, assign its listing layout to a Shopware category. The layout used for individual post pages is assigned in the plugin configuration.

The blog listing CMS element lets you set how many posts appear on each page. Pagination allows readers to move between listing pages. You can also customise the URL structure of individual blog posts using a template in Shopware’s SEO settings.

OpenBlogware additionally provides an RSS feed, allowing readers to follow blog posts through a feed reader.
