EasyBlog 5.3 Beta Released

We are excited and super thrilled to be presenting you folks with the first beta release of EasyBlog 5.3 today! 😎 If there's any reason you happened to miss out the rundown of EasyBlog 5.3 features shared previously, you may find the rundown here

Aside from the features mentioned on the other post, there are also some new features which we have not discussed about in the other post.

Sortable Thumbnails 


Apart from being able to choose between stack or grid layout, you can now re-arrange images in the thumbnail block. This will come in handy when you want to re-organize images in the block.

Mobile Friendly Showcase Layouts


​The showcase layouts in EasyBlog has been rewritten from scratch to ensure better user experience when viewed with mobile devices. With EasyBlog 5.3, you will notice a completely different user experience when using your mobile devices.


AddThis Integration with AMP 

​We have also added integrations with AddThis on AMP Layouts. This would allow AddThis buttons to appear on your AMP pages and at the same time, you get to keep track of social sharing statistics from these pages.

Get your testing gears ready!


Just to name a few key features in EasyBlog 5.3 - OpenStreetMap, UIkit theme, Image Optimizer, Image Comparison BlockSendy Block, EasyBlog toolbar, WebP image support and many other goodies. Can't wait to get some of these new features a try? Join us, all active EasyBlog subscribers are welcomed to join and try it out for the first time. 

Though EasyBlog 5.3 is currently in Beta, it's still intended only for testing purposes and it should only be installed on your development or staging site.
