Improve Blog Customization [MUST READ]

Hey HighLevel Team,
First off, I’ve got to say that I love how powerful the platform has become overall. But I’m honestly surprised that the blogging experience still feels extremely limited, especially compared to the rest of the system.
Right now, the blog pages don’t allow any customization for headers, footers, side columns, or global sections, which makes the blog feel disconnected from the rest of the website. For a platform as advanced as HighLevel, this limitation makes the blog experience feel outdated, even less flexible than Blogger.com back in 2004.
The current setup forces every blog post to look isolated, breaking brand consistency and user experience. For businesses trying to use their blog to build authority, this is a major drawback.
Here’s what would make a huge difference:
Allow the use of global header and footer sections within blog posts and blog lists.
Allow the use of custom fields and Custom Values inside blog posts for dynamic, personalized content.
Provide layout options or blog templates that match the site theme (so design stays consistent).
Enable custom sections (hero, author box, related posts, etc.) so blogs feel part of the brand.
Optional: Add SEO and Open Graph customization fields directly inside the blog editor.
Adding even some of these features would make the blog experience 10x better and truly aligned with the professional standard of the rest of HighLevel.
Thanks for taking this into consideration. It’s a small (big :) ) improvement that would make a huge difference for agencies building branded, content-driven websites on HighLevel.
Best,
Daniel Vargas

I agree. The blog component is extremely limited to the point of making it nearly useless. We have maintained our blog in Wordpress to allow for a better user experience. Another important feature that the blogs are missing is the ability to add a table. There are many reasons to include tables in posts, including improved SEO, but if I need to add a table, I have to add it as an image..

I agree with everything above but gave up on HL's blogging module a long time ago. Sad to see they've done nothing to bring it out of the dark ages.
