HTML Storage
In this article, we're going to discuss our HTML storage system for easier integration with 3rd party plugins.
Introduced in Cornerstone 7.6 and Pro 6.6 is our HTML storage system. This refers to how Pages and Posts are stored behind the scenes when a page is saved in Cornerstone. We introduced this change to address issues with SEO plugins and searching by post content when a page or post was built in Cornerstone.
If you have a site that was built prior to this release, you will automatically be placed into Shortcode storage. This is how Cornerstone has worked for years and to keep everything on your site running properly as we continue to work on this system and migration. New sites will be placed into HTML storage mode.
How Cornerstone works behind the scene does not change. Cornerstone will still determine if the content is a Cornerstone type and do the same type of rendering. This storage change will simply allow 3rd party plugins to understand the actual content in a Cornerstone type document.
Enabling HTML Storage Mode
Navigate to your Cornerstone Settings and look under Advanced. You will see a toggle button (Power icon) to turn this on.
Under configure in this section, there is a Migrate button. Whatever storage type is enabled will search your system for valid Cornerstone Posts, Pages, and other singular content type and convert your post content. You need to backup your site before you do this.
