  • Widgets - Put latest articles on blog anywhere on your site, it's so easy

Integration

Plugin integration is extremely simple, it does not require any theme modifications to make it fully functional, however you should place link to your blog into theme files. To achieve this, place following code anywere you want to see blog link:

<?php if(function_exists('blg_home_button')) { echo blg_home_button(); } ?>

Alternative solution for integration is to use widget. Blog widget adds section that contains latest articles on blog in 2 layouts:

  • Grid - ideal for home page or large-width areas
  • List - ideal for sidebar placement or small-width blocks

Place following code anywhere to use type based on plugin settings:

<?php osc_run_hook('blg_widget'); ?>

Or use following code if you need to place blog widget multiple times with different types (replace 'grid' with 'list' when needed):

<?php if(function_exists('blg_widget')) { blg_widget('grid'); } ?>

Widgets are responsive and does not require any style modifications.

Get paid for your blog and earn money with your osclass

Osclass Blog Plugin is fully compatible with Osclass Pay Plugin and helps you to monetize osclass even more effective.

  • Private articles are not visible in blog

It is a pity that there is no "sort in ascending order" option because organizing all the articles manually takes a long time.

Many shortcomings ...... by atba2012 on 22. Sep 2018

3.0 - Good
This plugin is working as described, it will allow you to publish news or articles on your site , but to bring it to mind, you will need to work with him thoroughly! All questions in the helpdesk , you'll likely get the answer - just as, in another not! Therefore, if you are going to create something individual, you need to spend a lot of time to make the plugin work as it should !

Excellent plugin by Luke on 26. Aug 2018

5.0 - Excellent
It integrates and works extremely well. It has several configuration options but not so many that it's difficult. Further integration (such as display blogs within a page or item) would be great. But it does what it says and does it well. Thanks.

Мнение о плагине by Сергей Макаров on 18. May 2018

3.0 - Good
Купил плагин, установил. Радует то что в плагине есть возможность загружать превью, управление категориями и статьями так же радует. Есть возможность редактировать шаблоны вывода новостпей. Но к сожалению топорный код и его приходится ручками редактировать. Использую данный плагин для вывода новостей. Переделал под себя, теперь выглядит не плохо.
