CS-Press add-on adds WordPress style blogging functionality to your CS-Cart store. Gives the possibility to keep your customers informed about the latest company events, offers, new products announcements, news, etc. let them know whats going on. It’s a well-known fact that an active blog helps your ecommerce store by:

  • Capturing long-tail traffic, which improves your SEO
  • Enhancing your credibility as customers learn more about you, your personality and your company
  • Encouraging valuable customer feedback that can be incorporated in future marketing campaigns or product/service development
  • Allowing you to engage and educate your community, encouraging repeat customers

Done correctly a blog is a competitive advantage to your ecommerce business.
Blogging is also a crucial aspect of marketing. It plays an important role in SEO by placing keywords and anchor text all over your company's website. As a result, when users search for these terms, your business will have a higher chance of being displayed in search results on the front page.

The HTML errors are generated by the cs-cart engine and most of them are present in the original code, without the add-on.

There are a few posts about it on the forum.

The issues related with the add-on are fixed continuosly of course, thanks to anyone who contributed in it.

Anyway does not affect the cs-cart or the add-on functionality.

The demo is not working.

Checked the link with success, never was offline.

It was not working on September 22 at 7:30 or so. Otherwise I would not have taken the time to come here and try to help you out by letting you know it was down.



You're welcome.

We didn't find any downtime in the logs, anyway I appreciate your effort.

cs cart 4.2 have corrected al the html errors…are you 100% sure that the addon is not producing issues??? and the social sharing option? is it possible to use cs cart fb,tweeter sharing in the blog addon? if yes…please enable it on the demo



thanks in advance

The site is running under cs-cart 4.1.2, unfortunately in this version the HTML errors were not fixed in the cs-cart engine.

Just reched the add-on, because each bug report is important (thank you), we didn't find any HTML errors in the source code. The social sharing option isn't supported presently.

Thank you for your interest.

What is the value of a blog when pwolle don't share it?

All ideas are welcomed of course. If you want to contribute in the add-on improvement you can send us your ideas, suggestions on our webpage. Thank you.
