known issue Blog Custom Sidebar blocks

[The Old Man]

Hi,

I was looking at my Blogs feature and I was wondering about the Custom Sidebar feature. If you enable it in Blog Settings, and then enable it for an existing group Blog in the AdminCP, it shows on the front end.

 

Is it supposed to be editable by the Blog owner as there doesn't appear anywhere to edit the content on the front end?

For me, it's no problem, my Blogs haven't been used for years, but it may be of interest to other sites. The feature seems very limited and almost forgotten, you only get one block and it occupies a lot of screen real estate, unlike the way it used to work a long time ago when Blog owners could add lots of rich text blocks.

It appears that user does not have the permission to manage blogs. Only users with the ability to manage blogs will have that facility. You should have "Edit blog" there. If you are unsure, I would need to know the user and blog so I can take a look

Thanks Marc, the user is me, the only admin. Same name as here. The blog is called TIWWA Staff Blog which is a group blog.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
