Blog

You already know that you can easily add global HTML code that loads on every page of your site. This is extremely useful when integrating external services or when you want to make customizations using CSS.

Today, we're expanding this capability. You can now set HTML code to run only on specific pages.

This is implemented through the tagging functionality. Your HTML code can require specific tags, and if those tags are not assigned to a page, the code will not execute.

We also added an "Active" option, which allows you to temporarily deactivate a specific HTML code.

Stay tuned! More improvements are coming soon!

We're introducing a small but highly useful improvement that expands the capabilities of the blog functionality.

In the settings of each article, you can now select more than one category. This gives you greater flexibility when organizing your content and makes it easier for your readers to discover it.

There are no changes to the "Blog posts" element.

This improvement was implemented based on a request from one of our users. If you have ideas for new features or improvements, feel free to reach out to us!

You can now create categories and organize your products more easily. This is especially useful for stores with a larger assortment. With categories:

Category management is handled through the store settings.

You can now set a custom message that customers will see when a product or one of its variations is out of stock. This field is located in the product settings and allows you to add useful information such as:

If you leave the field empty, the default message will be:

We’ve added the ability to quickly duplicate products directly from the product list. This can save you a significant amount of time, especially for similar products. However, consider carefully whether it’s more appropriate to use a single product with different variations or separate products with minimal differences.

Some of these improvements were implemented thanks to feedback from our customers. If you also have ideas or suggestions, we’d be happy for you to share them with us!

We are excited to introduce a new feature in Bear CMS - welcome modal windows. A few months ago, we added the ability to create modal windows. Starting today, you can specify which of them should open automatically. The window opens automatically only once per user session.

Welcome modal windows are useful in various situations, for example:

Here are the steps:

1. Create a modal window and add the desired content

To make it easier for you, we have created ready-made combinations of elements that you can place in your modal windows.

You also have the option to display different welcome modal windows on different pages. This is done using tags. Add a tag in the settings of selected pages, and then specify that the corresponding welcome modal window should only appear if that tag exists on the given page. This way, you can have one window for the homepage and another for your services page.

Welcome modal windows are available for websites on the Plan PRO or Plan MAX. You can find them in your site settings.

Use this feature wisely. You will get the best results when displaying short, clear, and truly important content. Overuse may have the opposite effect.

We are thrilled to introduce the latest major feature in Bear CMS.

Starting today, you can enable your visitors to order your products directly through your website. When they click the "Buy" button and complete a few simple steps (choosing shipping, payment method, etc.), you will receive a notification of a new order to process. We’ve made it easy for you to manage orders and even added a one-click option to notify Econt or Speedy couriers about your shipment.

We call this new feature the "Store" and it is included in the plans we offer. You can see what each plan includes on our Pricing page.

You can sell both digital and physical products, add variations (color, size, etc.), and manage your inventory.

Our goal is to help small businesses, freelancers, and creators reach potential customers. It is not intended for merchants with hundreds or thousands of products. For now, our main focus is on European Union countries.

You can learn more about the Store in the support section.

We are here to discuss your specific situation and help you prepare your website for future sales and happy customers.

We’ve added tags support, allowing you to organize and customize your designs even more efficiently.

A brand-new Recycle bin for elements is now available. This gives you peace of mind when reorganizing your content, knowing that deleted elements can be recovered if needed.

We also launched Elements navigator, an alternate view that helps you quickly find, browse, and manage elements across your pages.

You can now archive elements, which is perfect when you want to remove an element without permanently deleting it. This is especially useful when moving elements between pages or saving them for future use.

The Shared content element is a real game changer. It lets you create content once, add elements inside it, and reuse it in multiple places - keeping everything perfectly in sync.

We introduced a new theme called Canvas, ideal for starting a website with a highly custom design from scratch.

Modal windows are another powerful addition. They allow you to display extra information in a clean overlay without navigating away from the current page.

There’s now a built-in image editor with basic but practical features. If you’ve uploaded an image with the wrong orientation, you can easily fix it directly in BearCMS.

Customizing the 404 page content is now possible, giving you more control over the user experience when pages aren’t found.

In addition to images, you can now easily create gradient backgrounds for elements.

The theme and style editor has become easier to use, and it now includes undo and redo support, making experimentation safer and faster.

We’ve also made creating links for calling, email, and chat much simpler and more intuitive.

Thank you for being part of the BearCMS community. Your feedback and support continue to shape the platform, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

We wish you all the best in 2026 - and stay tuned for even more improvements!

We assume you know that, in addition to links to pages on your site, you can also create links to external services and applications. This is now much easier because you no longer need to write them in the exact format they require. It's enough to simply enter an email address, phone number, or username, and the platform will take care of making the link do exactly what it's supposed to.

Here’s what happens when a user clicks a link created in the new way:

Wherever on your site an address can be placed, you'll now see the new options and instructions for each of them.

From the main list of options, you can access the undo and redo buttons. With their help, you can navigate through the changes you’ve made.

We hope that with this small improvement, working with Bear CMS will become even easier and more enjoyable for you.

In many places within the theme settings or the individual style settings of elements, you can add background images. Starting today, you can also add gradients between two or more colors. This allows your designs to become even more visually appealing.

Here are a few examples:

The gradient can include 2, 3, 4, or 5 colors and can be rotated and directed in any direction. You decide exactly where each color begins.

The main rule when adding background images or gradients is that they are layered on top of one another. That means the image/gradient that is at the top of the list will appear above all the others.

Expect another improvement very soon.

Sometimes a user may open a page that does not exist. There can be many reasons for this. The page may have been deleted, renamed, or marked as "Private". It is also possible that the address was typed incorrectly.

On such pages, a message appears informing the user that the page is missing and redirects them to the homepage. Starting today, you can add your own content to this type of page, making them more attractive.

To add custom content, go to your site’s main settings and enable this option. Then visit a sample missing page (a link to one is available in the settings) and add elements in the usual way. We recommend adding a clear message that the page is missing and links to other pages that might be useful.

See you soon.
