Ask a Question

Hello all!

I just picked up Nicepage over the Black Friday sale and I'm finding it has most of what I need for my coding projects. I was especially happy to see that I could use it as a blog platform that exports to static HTML, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

The one thing I can't find for blog pages is how to use an HTML block - such as what we have for normal pages. Bloggers really need a way to include embeds, such as YouTube videos, in blog posts! Maybe I'm missing it, or maybe it's something you have in mind for future updates.

As someone developing a static HTML blog using Nicepage, without this feature, I must go and edit each blog post after exporting and then manually add the imbed codes for videos into the HTML files (and I have many posts with videos). This works in the short term. But if I need to update my style or menus, then I will have to overwrite those blog posts with a new export. This means I will have to manually update every post that contains a video anytime I want to change something about my layout. Not a good solution!

Unless I'm missing something - but I have searched quite a bit for this in the editor!

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi, Erin,

Thanks for being our customer!

If you mean Blog Posts (not the Blog and Post Template), you can insert only text, images, and the horizontal line there. We have added the possibility to add videos to Blog Posts to our wishlist. We agree that adding videos is essential for blog posts.

Videos and HTML codes can be added to the Blog or Post Template, but in this case, a video or a code will be the same for all posts.

As you are making the HTML Blog, please refer to this article, it may be helpful for you: https://nicepage.com/doc/131306/html-blog

Please let us know if you need our further help!

Thank you for your reply!

Having an HTML block for code/video for Blog Posts (I did find the code block for Post Templates) would absolutely satisfy what I need for my blog and site! I'm happy to hear it's on your list - hoping to see that sometime soon. I'm enjoying the Nicepage editor and adding that would be everything I need for my projects.

Appreciate your time and help!

Id like to second this, please add video support for blog post pages.

Could you also include Lead text back, not sure why it's missing from the typography options.
