1.Is there a way to hide some posts, or unpublished them, so they are in essence just drafts until you have them the way you like? (I can't seem to future date them.)
2. How do you let readers comment on individual posts? And add them to Facebook, etc.
3. It feels very basic, and as much as I want to stay, with the hours I have spent just today, I may be abandoning WIX and looking elsewhere while I'm still in the two week trial.
4. Does anyone know of a way to transfer your site elsewhere or do I have to begin from scratch again?
Very sad.
Very sad about this.
Thank you in advance, just starting today, and I don't find the WIX online help very easy to understand.

Thank you Simona for your reply! I haven't had a chance to try your suggestions, but will, and also update your wishlist as needed.
Hi @oceanseedsky,
1. As Megan advised, you can dublicate the blog post and that puts the new copy in draft status. Then you can delete the other one. You vote for the Unpublish feature has been added to Wishlist.
2. In the meantime readers can comment using the Wix comment system - they need to sign-up on the site with the email and password or Google/Facebook accounts and can comment and like posts, also receive notifications about new blog posts/comments. Very soon we'll allow to turn off the Wix comments system and use thirds parties providers, like FB comments plugin.
3. Please let us know what exactly you're missing so we could improve.
Thanks!
Hi Michelle,
Sadly all the things you have found wrong with the New Wix Blog is what we have been reporting to them but no fixes have been made. You can't un-publish from what i have found too. Most likely you will have to duplicate the blog post and that puts the new copy in draft status and then you can delete the other one. This is a work around.
Commenting is now horrible because they have now made it where your readers are forced to create a login in order to comment. I don't want my readers to create a login to comment so i understand.
And no there is no way to transfer your writing elsewhere, I realized that too after 5 or 6 blog posts. So now I am starting to save my writing in word document in a different place and copy pasting. Thats another headache but no other choice. Because sometimes I hit the wrong key and a paragraph gets deleted and they have no UNDO button which makes it difficult to fix mistakes.
