When importing and exporting blog posts in Webflow, custom code is not ignored. Webflow's CMS allows you to include custom code fields for each blog post. Here's how Webflow handles custom code during the import and export process:

Importing blog posts:

  1. When you import blog posts into Webflow, any custom code included in the exported file will be preserved.
  2. The custom code can be added to individual blog post items or placed in the template used for the blog collection.
  3. You can include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other custom code within the designated custom code fields.

Exporting blog posts:

  1. When you export blog posts from Webflow, any custom code included in the CMS fields will be preserved.
  2. This includes any HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or other code that was added to the custom code fields of the blog post items or the blog collection template.
  3. The exported files will contain the custom code alongside the content and structure of the blog posts.

With Webflow's flexibility, you can leverage custom code to extend the functionality of your blog posts. Whether it's adding a custom analytics script, integrating external APIs, or implementing unique design elements, custom code can be seamlessly integrated into your blog posts when importing and exporting within Webflow.

To summarize, Webflow does not ignore custom code when importing and exporting blog posts. It preserves and includes the custom code in the exported files, allowing you to maintain the desired functionality and design elements of your blog posts.
