Advanced SEO support

If you use the SEO settings tab of the plugin, you should replace the title and meta description tags with the following lines:

<title>{% if post.meta_title %}{{ post.meta_title }}{% elseif this.page.meta_title %}{{ this.page.meta_title }}{% else %}{{ this.page.title }}{% endif %}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{% if post.meta_desc %}{{ post.meta_desc }}{% elseif this.page.meta_description %}{{ this.page.meta_description }}{% else %}{{ this.page.description }}{% endif %}">

Automatic statistics

You just add the "Blog post page" frontend component to the page, where the post appears. If you are logged in as administrator, the counter will not grow. It works any cases, when the visitors open the post details.

Preview feature

You just add the "Blog post page", "News page" and "Portfolio page" frontend components to the current pages. If you modify a Blog, News or Portfolio, the "Preview" link appears along the left of the delete icon.

Quick navigation

If you modify any content, one or two arrows appear along the right of the delete icon. There are the navigation links. You can simply go to the previous or next content.
