PrestaShop Blog (PrestaBlog)

Since PrestaShop does not have a built-in Blog, we use PrestaBlog to add blog support. If PrestaBlog is not avalible, VueFront will ignore it.

How to install?

Php version required >= 5.5, <= 7.2 (this limitation will be removed in the future)

Quick Install

1. The quickest way to install is via PrestaShop Module Manager or manually Download the compiled module and upload it through the 'Modules > Module Manager > Upload a module' menu in PrestaShop
