Nope, templates does not affect posts that is already created. It will only affect new posts that you are creating and it doesn't make sense at all if it affects posts that was already created.

it doesn't make sense at all if it affects posts that was already created.

Could you explain this?

My understanding was that if I wanted to for example add an image or button block to each of my existing posts I could simply add this block to the 'template' that I used to create them? Does that not make sense?

1. Post templates are meant to be used as a guide when you compose your blog posts. The addition of post templates was never meant to be used this way.

2. If you have 1000 blog post created using template A and you decide to delete a block from the template, then all of these posts that was originally created will also be affected.

Thanks for the explanation Mark

Not to be pedantic but if that's the case shouldn't they be called post guides then?

Yes, that's the exact functionality I would expect. If I want to delete a block from a single blog post I would do that within the single blog post, whereas if I want to delete this block globally across all of my blog posts I would do this within the template that I used to create all of these blog posts.

As an example, I have 1,000 blog posts that I created using a template. The template contained a table block with 5 rows. Now I would like to add an additional row, currently this means I have to manually insert an additional row in each of my blog posts. Whereas if I could make one change on the original template (add a table row), and have this update all my blog posts it would be much more efficient.

I hope you understand my logic

Don't get me wrong - I like the post template functionality, I'm simply pointing out that I thought this functionality would have been default.

Calling it post guides will just confuse everyone and I think what you are trying to achieve here is not something anyone will use on a day to day operation. To be honest I would not want to complicate EasyBlog in that way.

No problem, it will be interesting to find out what the EB community think of this feature.

Thanks again
