It does not auto activate, someone will have turned it on.

HI Liam, Thanks for the help. I did untick the beta version activation and it is back to normal. (It auto activated because I never ticked it in the first place)

Now that I have the old wysiwig editor back I am having trouble formating the paragraph with the image in it. I am using the {tag_blogpostpreview,More Details...}

What I want is the image on the left and the copy on the right. I set the image to align to the left but the text won't seem to pull away on the right. Any thoughts?

Also how can I get the copy to only show the copy to line up with bottom of the image?

Thanks ma'Dude,

If you have an existing site, that new editor is part of BC.Next which is in beta and if you start new sites is only available in the beta section and something you enable. A number of elements of that editor do not function 100% at the moment, being a beta feature.

If you want it back to normal under settings - beta options there is a tick for that you should be able to disable. I would talk to your dev or whoever turned that on though in case they were using any of the new code stuff as part of the beta on the site.

In the BC Admin, the blog editor is exactly as it has been for some time. Support will not have said it has changed, it hasn't. If they did or you think they did there would have been some miss understanding there.

Trust me, it is no different then it has been for quite some time.

I was talking to tech support and they did say that the editor has changed. Thanks for your reply earlier by the way.

The Blog WYSIWYG will not have changed any time soon unless you turned on a new beta feature for BC.Next.

You just need to insert the image at the start of the first paragraph

Hi Liam,

I have been trying to do something similar. I have tried to insert an image and then the paragraph I have been able to get 3 posts to show up. But I would like to include the image in the preview. I can get the image in but it seems the blog wysiwig interface has changed and I can't get the image to set to the left and then show the proper amount of text to show up so that the image and the text look uniform.

Any suggestions?

Also I'm not going crazy did they just change the wysiwig editor?

You can do one paragraph:

`{tag_blogpostbodypreview,Text}`	Display a preview of the first paragraph of your blog post. Replace "Text" with the relevant words to link to see the entire post.

I've edited to the Blog post details layout with this tag {tag_blogpostbodypreview} which truncates to show up the 1st paragraph, I'd like to be able to specify and show the first 2 paragraphs, is this possible?
