How To Enable/Disable Blog
Enabling the Blog
The Website Builder Blog is a simple online publishing tool offering users a familiar and easy-to-use interface designed for efficient user experience.
Note: The Blog option is only available for paid Website Builder plans and is not accessible on Website Builder Free. To maximise all the features of your Website Builder website, including the Blog feature, we highly encourage you to upgrade your Website Builder Free plan.
