Editor enhancements

• Chrome push notifications : This feature was released as part of the September 2nd Hotfix. Please click here for full release notes:
• Disqus comments widget : Allows site visitors to read and add comment via Disqus. After adding the Disqus shortname to the widget’s settings, comments from Disqus will be shown on the website, and site visitors will be able to add their comments in the site.
• Disqus administration is handled by the Disqus service. The Disqus administrator can update the discussion’s settings, moderate comments, and analyze engagement.
• When adding the Disqus widget to a blog (in post’s design template), comments are counted at the top of the post page. Please note that there is a small delay between new comment submissions and comment counter updates.

Blog enhancements

Edit author name : Author name can now be edited from the Post Settings page by account owners and staff users. Once the user starts to type a new author name, a drop-down list is presented with suggested author names (using auto-complete). Author names can be account owner/s, staff users (with Blog permission), and customers with Blog permission for this specific site. **Please note that customers have only the option of “Assign to me.”

Edit post publish date : All users with Blog permission can edit the post publish date. **Please note that changing the post publish date does not affect the order of posts.

Post HTML element : This new element allows post authors to add their own HTML code to blog posts, dramatically improving the flexibility of elements that can be added to blog posts (which, until now, were limited to divider / text / image / video). The HTML editor allows simple code editing.



Templates

We are releasing 4 new templates: Yoga, Lifestyle, Exhibition, and Portfolio. Those templates were created by our designers using DudaOne editor. **Please note that templates created using this method do not support conversions from an existing URL or a Facebook page, and cannot be localized.

Share publically partners’ custom templates : This new feature allows us the share partners’ custom templates in our templates page while promoting their brand. We are going to start with a single template. Updates to plans : We have made a few changes to our current offerings:
