The font sizes are no longer customizable with the any individual blog post itself but instead are generic and uniform. The ability to resize fonts within individual postings is now gone. The sizes of inserted images no longer can be tailor fitted and the current available sizes are ridiculously huge. There is no ability to add color or other customizable features to the text. The add-in features are limited, never work as a side menu like the old version... In fact there is no side menu at all along the side of the blog now, which used to make the front page the blog very user friendly and professional looking- and also was very customizable. No social media icons or donation icons can be added, or "likes" or "social icon recommendations or pushes". In sum, the new blog (both the opening page and posts themselves) are so unbelievably generic, basic and inferior to the older version. The images used to advertises the "great features of the new blog" are not even possible to create with the new blog as it currently stands. Why was it changed to such a less feature filled product that is clearly an inferior platform to the older version, which not only looked better was so much easier to use?

Hi @ananthsai.r,
we checked your case and can't reproduce these issues, it may be your site specific problem. Please contact Wix customer support for further investigation: support@wix.com
@Simona Griskute Another problem I'm facing -
I am on the 'Blog' page of my website inside 'Editor'.
I click on the Blog widget -> Settings -> Main -> Go to Post page ->
Instead of seeing my post, I see a page saying 'We couldn't find this page' while clearly I have a post that has been published on my site.
What is going on???!
@Simona Griskute Hi! I am having so much trouble with the 'New Wix Blog'! It's extremely frustrating and I'm regretting having signed up for a Wix membership already. Here's one of the many issues I'm facing -
On the 'Post Page' of my New Wix Blog, I am trying to not display the 'Blog Menu', but even though I turn it off, it is still displayed.
yes but you can't alter blog font within a blog to emphasise, for example; "new blog is indescribably bad and costing Wix it's customers" - I'd like to alter that to change fonts and sizes to make certain parts clearer.
I also just noticed when you want to change blog pic it goes to the main photo gallery not the ones within that blog. that's just stupid.
Totally agree!! All I want to do is change the colour of my navigation menu and I haven't been able to figure it out or find any articles that explain it clearly. I just want the menu font to NOT be purple ... gross lol. And why can I change the colour of the menu in the categories and posts pages, but not on the main blog page? Who came up with that?? Not to mention it's nearly impossible to even navigate the main Wix website when trying to find a helpful article; I just get redirected and redirected.
Hi,
thank you for your valuable feedback. We are working on many crucial and cool features to make the New blog outgrow the old one.
- scheduling feature in on the way
- we are working on the post page customisation, allowing to re-size the post page window and add the elements to the side bar. It is already possible if you newly add the blog from the app market, and soon will be available for existing blogs
- with the same post page customisation you'll be able to change to customise the font, its size and colour of the text in the post page (currently the same font style settings apply for both the feed and post page) and categories menu
- soon it will be possible to toggle-off the display of categories menu, Wix comments system on the post page (and add 3rd parties comments providers), recent post widget on the post page.
Currently we're collecting specific feedback on the images in Blog to improve the experience in this area. We would appreciate if you share your experience here: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/discussions/usage-and-display-of-images-in-blog-posts-feed-share-your-experience
It's really sad that wix probably lost and will be losing a lot of customers (Including me) because of something as small as their blog features. I'm getting frustrated trying to recreate the old blog sidebar options, being able to schedule a post to a FUTURE date, and so much more. It seems like they said "lets start from scratch (forcing our customers to lose visitors, usability, and plenty of features) and build from there.
This new Wix Blog is an even bigger joke than the old Wix blog was.
Users can't change the *color* of the text in the blog anymore? Who thought that that was a good idea?
Whoever is on the UX and Product Management team of Wix should consider a career change - I suggest a career with Uber.
Couldn't agree more. We keep hearing "soon", but the new blog has been out well over a year. It's a big disappointment and the developers appear to have no practical background or experience in blogs or what bloggers need. It's mystifying given how feature-rich the basic WIX components are.
