If you're upgrading from blog version 1.0 to 2.0 you will need to run the `BlogMigrationTask`. Run the task using `dev/tasks/BlogMigrationTask` either via the browser or sake CLI to migrate your legacy blog to the new version data structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Because your blog is part of the SiteTree, usage is the same as any other page.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, blog posts don't appear in the SiteTree, to avoid clutter. Instead they appear inside your blog as a GridField.
|
||||
|
||||
![](docs/en/_images/blog-post-management.png)
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd rather display your posts within the SiteTree, you can do so using SilverStripe config.
|
||||
|
||||
In mysite/_config/settings.yml
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
BlogPost:
|
||||
show_in_sitetree: true

# Pagination
|
||||
|
||||
By default your Blog will display ten posts per page. The number of posts per page is configurable via the "Settings" tab. Setting posts per page to zero will disable pagination, displaying all of your posts on a single page.
|
||||
|
||||
![](_images/blog-settings-pagination.png)
|
||||
|
||||
# Configuring pagination
|
||||
To customise the look and feel of the pagination component, simply override the template located at `/blog/templates/Includes/Pagination.ss`
|
||||
|
||||
If you have comments enabled, comment pagination is configurable via the [SilverStripe Comments Module configuration](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-comments/blob/master/docs/en/Configuration.md).

# Configuring Widgets
|
||||
|
||||
The blog module comes bundled with some useful widgets. To take advantage of them, you'll need to install the [SilverStripe widgets module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets). Widgets are totally optional - so your blog will work just fine without having widgets installed.
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable the widgets by adding the following YML config:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Blog:
|
||||
extensions:
|
||||
- WidgetPageExtension
|
||||
BlogPost:
|
||||
extensions:
|
||||
- WidgetPageExtension
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have widgets installed you'll see the "Widgets" tab in the content section of your blog.
