How to build a blog in Bubble

The simplest way to build a blog in Bubble is to create a Blog Post data type, build a page where you can create posts (with a rich text editor), and a page that lists posts using a Repeating Group. When the user clicks a post, send them to a Blog Post page (a page with a type of content set to Blog Post) and display the full article.

Database Setup

Create a data type called Blog Post with fields:

• title (text)
• content (text, usually stored from a Rich Text Editor)
• cover\_image (image)
• published\_date (date)
• author (User)

This gives you everything needed to create, list, and view posts.

Create Post Page (Admin page)

Add inputs: a normal text input for the title, a Rich Text Editor for the content, an image uploader, and a button that triggers a workflow. In the button’s workflow, use Data → Create a new thing and set its fields from the inputs.

// Bubble action mapping (conceptual, not code executed in Bubble)

Create a new Blog Post:
title = Input Title's value
content = RichTextEditor A's value
cover_image = Uploader A's value
published_date = Current date/time
author = Current User

Blog List Page

Add a Repeating Group that shows a list of Blog Posts. Set its data source to Do a search for Blog Posts, sorted by published\_date descending. Inside the RG, add elements to show the post title, image, and a short preview (you can use :truncated to to shorten the text).

• Add a workflow on the group or title: Navigate to page… and send Current cell’s Blog Post.

Single Post Page

Create a new page and set its Type of content = Blog Post. Add text elements that display Current Page Blog Post's title and content. If you're using a Rich Text Editor, switch the text element to “Formatted as text → Rich text”.

Privacy Rules

If it's a public blog, allow “Everyone else” to view Blog Posts. If only admins should create/edit posts, let only users with a field like is\_admin modify Blog Posts.

This structure is enough to run a real blog: you can create posts, store them, list them, and display each one on its own clean URL.
