Blog

Bear CMS's blog is the place to learn about what's new about the platform. Here we announce new features and publish useful information about your websites.
New: Elements navigator

The next improvement we are pleased to present is an alternative view of all elements on a given page. Through it, you can easily see the position of each element relative to those around it. You can access it from the button located next to the one for creating a new element (the one with the "+" sign).

This view is especially useful when you have a structural element like a Container, Columns, or Floating content with many elements inside it. It is also helpful when you've added elements with a fixed position and are not sure exactly where they are. When you click on an element in this list, you'll be taken directly to it.

Below the button for creating a new element, there is another button. We have moved the link to the list of deleted elements there. You may have guessed already, but more features will be appearing there very soon.

See you soon.
New: Recycle bin for deleted elements

Now you have the ability to send deleted elements to the trash. Naturally, this gives you the option to restore them to a location of your choice.

After you click the delete button for an element, you'll see the options "Delete forever" and "Move to Trash".

When you click the button to add a new element, at the very bottom you'll see the option "Restore deleted element". A screen will open where you can see the elements you've deleted. Each element has a "Restore" button, allowing you to retrieve it and place it in a location of your choice on the current page.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this new feature in the comments below the post.
Tags will make your designs even more unique
Hello,

We’re excited to show you a brand new feature we call "Tags". With their help, you can tag an element or page to give it a more distinctive look.

Here are a few examples:
  • You tag the "Easter promotion" page with the tag "easter", and in the theme settings, you specify that every page with the "easter" tag should have a background image featuring painted eggs.
  • You tag the "Terms of Use" page with the tag "terms", and in the theme settings for the "Text" element, you specify a smaller font size for elements tagged with "terms".
  • You tag a Heading element with the tag "promo", and specify that such elements should display white text on a red background.

Tags are available in the Universal theme and for all elements.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help using this new feature. It offers a lot of possibilities, but it also requires some upfront planning for the structure and the design of your site.
Bear CMS in 2024

Another year has passed. With this post we would like to remind you of the most interesting things about Bear CMS this year. We hope that you, like us, looking back, appreciate the progress you have made.

We’ve started the year releasing new designs that will help you make a beautiful personal website. If you do not have such a website - now is the perfect time to launch one.

Then we added improvements on linking pages. You can also quickly get to the current page’s settings.

Custom fonts support was added too.

Creating a newsletter became possible using our built-in tools.

We’ve added improvements to the admin screens. Now you can search and export data, easily manage global HTML code and add default social image.

There were also updates to the style editors.

There were lot more updates that we did not announce, but hope you saw or feel them.

That was it for 2024. See you in 2025.

We wish you even more health, happiness and success!
Improvements in Files, Visitors, Global HTML code and many more
Bear CMS's blog
Merry Christmas!

Today, we have a bag full of surprises for you. We’ve added some improvements to the platform and made your sites even easier to manage. Let's take a look.

Files

In the file management screen, you will find search and sorting buttons. In addition, you can now add personal notes to each file. This way, you can organize them more easily.

Visitors

In the Visitors’ screen, in the Statistics section, there is a button to download the data as PDF, Excel or CSV. It’s available for Bear CMS hosted sites only.

Global HTML Code

This field, which is located in your site settings, allows you to add HTML code to be applied to each page. Now you can add different codes to different fields. Until now, you could only add them to one field, which made editing a bit difficult. You can give each code a name to make it easier to know what it does.

Social Media Image

There is a new field in your site settings where you can upload an image to be used when sharing a page from your site on social networks. There is such a field for each page, but this will only be used in cases where you have not specified one for the page itself.

New units for sites in the style editor

For those of you who customize the look of your site yourself and pay attention to the small details, we have added the latest units available in CSS. You can now use svw, svh, lvw, lvh, dlvw, dvh.

We hope that with these improvements we have contributed at least a little to your holiday mood.
