First please make sure that you have updated the blog extension to the newest version.

If you need to extend Magento 2 Blog Module by Magefan and add a new custom text field to Blog Post edit page in Magento 2 Admin panel (Content  > Blog > Posts) you must to create a simple custom Magento 2 Extension.

You can download a sample extension from our GitHub page or you can create it manually using the steps below:

1. Create composer.json file

app/code/Magefan/BlogCustomField/composer.json

{
    "name": "magefan/module-blog-custom-field",
    "description": "Implements Blog functionality on Magento 2 store",
    "require": {
        "magefan/module-blog" : ">=2.8.0"
    },
    "type": "magento2-module",
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "license": [
        "OSL-3.0",
        "AFL-3.0"
    ],
    "autoload": {
        "files": [ "registration.php" ],
        "psr-4": {
            "Magefan\\BlogCustomField\\": ""
        }
    }
}

If you use a third-party theme for your Magento 2 store and have enabled "Use Magefan Blog Comments" as a blog comment option and flushed the Magento cache

but you still cannot see the comments on the blog post page on the storefront, please compare layout file blog_post_view.xml in your theme folder

If you receive the error message "No such entity.", "No such entity with" or "No such entity with customerId" in Magento 2, the issue usually occurred when you try to load not existing object via Magento 2 Repository Class.

To debug this issue, please open the file

vendor/magento/framework/Exception/NoSuchEntityException.php

If you need to display tag count in the Magento 2 Blog tag cloud sidebar, you need to extend the tags sidebar template.

To do this:

1. Copy the template file from the Blog extension folder

view/frontend/templates/sidebar/tag_claud.phtml

to your theme folder

app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/themename/Magefan_Blog/templates/sidebar/tag_claud.phtml
