Change the blog title and turn the blog on or off

The Blog settings page lets you turn the whole blog on your store on or off, and set a title for the blog. A new store has the blog turned on.

Change the blog title

Go to Blog › Blog settings.
In the Title field, enter a name for your blog, for example Journal.
Check that the Description field has text. It can’t be empty.
Click Save.

On a phone, open Blog from the menu at the top left to see Blog settings. You can also open this page from Blog with More actions, then choose Settings.

Turn the blog off or on again

Go to Blog › Blog settings.
Turn off Enable blog.
Click Save.

While the blog is off, the blog page, each post page, the category pages and the tag pages on your store all show “not found”. Your posts stay in the dashboard. Turn Enable blog back on and save, and the pages come back as before.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the blog title show?

At the top of the blog page and in the breadcrumb trail of posts. It is also the name of your blog page on Google.

Where does the Description show on my store?

The theme does not show this description yet. You still need to enter one, because the field is required when you save.

Where do I change the number of posts per page or turn off comments?

For now, the Blog settings page only has Enable blog, Title and Description. The blog page on your store shows 12 posts per page.
