Will the new standalone Cornerstone version have blog post templates for X-theme users?

[mpo]

Hi there,
I have a an X-theme licence & would like to know if the new Cornerstone Upgrade will have templates for blog posts for X-theme licences or would I need to upgrade to Pro for that?

I’m looking forward to checking out the new Cornerstone either way.

Thanks,
Drew

Hey Drew,

Thanks for reaching out!

To design a blog post, you need to use the Layout Builder, please note that Layout Builder is exclusively available on Pro.

To know more about the difference between X and Pro, please check this out:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply Marc,
what are the benefits of upgrading from x to pro for creating blog posts as opposed to keeping the 5 wordpress posts I already have and to keep using wordpress for blog posts going forward?

Are there any SEO advantages too?

Thanks for your help.

Hello @mpo,

Thanks for updating in! If you upgrade from X theme to the Pro theme, you will have the ability to create your own custom header or footer. You can also design your own blog index and archive pages too by utilizing the Layout Builder. In SEO sense, both the X and the Pro theme share the same.

Best Regards.
