• New articles appear automatically as Launchmind publishes them

Full control (optional):

• Override any template under templates/launchmind-blog/
• Or pull data with craft.launchmind.posts() in your own templates
• Manage settings in config/launchmind-blog.php per environment
• Let SEOmatic own meta tags by rendering inside your own layout

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it store articles in my Craft database?

No. Articles are fetched from the Launchmind API and cached, so your database stays clean and content always reflects the latest version.

Can I style the blog myself?

Yes. Copy any bundled template into templates/launchmind-blog/ in your project to restyle it, or pull the raw data with craft.launchmind.posts() and build your own markup.

What if the Launchmind API is briefly down?

The plugin serves the last-known-good content for up to 24 hours while the API recovers, so your blog never breaks.

Does it work with SEOmatic?

Yes. Use the bundled SEO meta out of the box, or render the article body inside your own layout and let SEOmatic own the meta tags.

Does it support multiple languages?

Yes, 9 languages. The plugin follows your Craft site language by default, or you can pin a specific language in the settings.
