Want to enhance your product pages with relevant blog content? Adding blog posts to your product pages can improve customer engagement, boost SEO, and help drive sales. Here's how you can do it.
Using Shopify's Native Features
The traditional way to add blog posts to product pages involves editing your theme's code. Navigate to Online Store → Themes → Edit code, then locate your product template file (usually product.liquid). Add this code where you'd like your blog posts to appear:
{% assign blog_handle = 'your-blog-handle' %}
{% assign product_tag = product.tags.first %}
{% for article in blogs[blog_handle].articles limit: 3 %}
{% if article.tags contains product_tag %}
<div class="product-blog-post">
<h3>{{ article.title }}</h3>
{{ article.excerpt }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Remember to replace 'your-blog-handle' with your actual blog handle. This method requires consistent tagging between your products and blog posts to work effectively.
