Frequently Asked Questions
How do blog URLs work in Sparkforge?
The domain is set on the funnel or website where you place the Blog Post List element. Final URLs follow the pattern domain + path + /b/[slug]. Use a subdomain like blog.yourdomain.com for clean separation.
Can I have separate blog pages per category?
Not currently. Per-category landing pages are on the roadmap. For now, all categories surface on the same Blog Post List with category filters.
Are author, category, and keyword required?
No, all three are optional, but adding them improves SEO and helps readers navigate. Set Authors first under the blog Settings cog before assigning them to posts.
Can I bulk import existing blog posts?
Yes. Use Import Blog Posts from URL to pull from an existing site, or Import Blog Posts from CSV for spreadsheet-driven migrations.
What size cover image does Sparkforge support?
Cover images and author images both support up to 10MB. Use compressed JPG or WebP for fastest page loads.
