Frequently asked questions
Is C7 Blog free?
Yes. The first two archive and single-post layouts, all display options, category filtering, the shortcode and block are free, and no license ever disables the plugin.
Does it change my real blog?
Yes. It restyles your real archive and single-post templates, so the whole blog changes at once, not just one embedded block.
Can I switch layouts quickly?
Yes. A Blog Display dropdown in the admin bar flips the whole blog to any layout live while you view it.
Can I keep my customisations on update?
Yes. Copy templates into your theme’s c7-blog directory and updates will not overwrite them.
Does it work with the rest of the C7 suite?
Yes. It integrates with the LaunchPad theme and appears in the Mission Control Settings Hub.
