Blog Pro 1.0.4 — Magento Admin setup

00:00:00 — Set up Blog Pro
Welcome to the Agentic Ecom Blog Pro Admin guide. We'll walk through the main setup screens and the checks to make before using the module. This guide assumes the extension is already installed.

00:00:13 — Open settings and choose scope
Start in Magento Admin and open Stores, Configuration. Choose Blog Pro. Check the Scope selector before editing. Use the appropriate website or store view where the setting supports it. The screen values here are a demonstration; enter the settings and service details that belong to your own store.

00:00:32 — Enable and name the blog
Enable Blog Pro and review the blog's general settings and route. The blog works without an AI provider key. Configure categories, authors and tags to suit the content you intend to publish, and check that your chosen blog address does not conflict with an existing store page.

00:00:51 — Choose layout and reading experience
Review Design and Layout, then the separate Post View Page and Sidebar Widgets groups. Choose a readable layout and only the widgets your readers need. Check a representative article on desktop and mobile before relying on a layout across the whole blog.

00:01:07 — Choose moderation and notifications
Review Comments and decide whether customers can contribute and how moderation will work. Check the notification settings and email transport for the people responsible for moderation. Review search metadata and permalink settings before publishing, so later URL changes are deliberate.

00:01:26 — Use optional AI as a draft tool
AI Writer is optional and disabled by default. If you enable it, choose your own provider account and review separate API charges. Check generated text and images for factual accuracy and rights before saving a post. A headless storefront must build its own blog pages using the supplied APIs; enabling the module does not create those pages automatically.

00:01:51 — Save and verify your setup
When your required settings are complete, use the screen's Save control and wait for Magento's confirmation. Then reopen the record or configuration and check the saved values at the intended scope. If the storefront still shows earlier settings, refresh the relevant caches. Test your own configuration before using it with customers.

00:02:12 — Your setup checklist
That's the Admin setup walkthrough for Blog Pro. Check permissions and scope, review the module-specific settings, then save and verify a small staging example. Use the written guide at user guides dot Agentic Ecom dot net for installation details, complete field references and any separate storefront integration steps.

Current direct-store release: 1.0.5. Blog Pro adds posts, categories, tags, authors, moderated comments, RSS and related catalogue links. It renders Luma blog pages and offers GraphQL/REST delivery for a headless storefront. A separate headless frontend must build its own blog pages using those APIs. AI Writer is optional and disabled by default; the blog works without an AI provider key or another AgenticEcom extension.

Install or upgrade

For a direct AgenticEcom purchase, use the Composer repository and licence key in My Licences:

composer config repositories.agenticecom composer https://repo.agenticecom.net
composer config --global --auth http-basic.repo.agenticecom.net <YOUR-LICENCE-KEY> x
composer require agenticecom/module-blogpro:^1.0.5
php bin/magento module:enable AgenticEcom_BlogPro
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:clean

For an Adobe Marketplace purchase, install through Adobe’s supplied repository and access method, then run the Magento commands. Back up the database first and keep only one copy of the module; do not leave both Composer and app/code/AgenticEcom/BlogPro copies installed.

Set up posts

Open Stores → Configuration → AgenticEcom · SEO and Content → Blog Pro. Enable the blog and set its route (default /blog), posts per page, comments, SEO and permalink options at the intended scope. In the Blog Pro Admin menu, create an author and optional categories/tags, then create a post with a title, URL key, body, excerpt, status and publication date. A published post appears after its publication time arrives. Check the Luma listing or your headless storefront preview after clearing relevant caches.

Optional AI Writer

Open AI Writer (OpenAI and Google Gemini) in Blog Pro configuration. Enable it only after obtaining your own provider API key and reviewing provider costs. Magento encrypts both provider key fields. Text and image model selectors are independent: you can use OpenAI for text and Gemini for images, or the reverse.

Article and topical-map text choices: OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (new-install default), GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Luna; Google Gemini 3.8 Flash, 3.7 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite and 3.1 Pro Preview.

Featured-image choices: OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (new-install default), GPT Image 2.5 Flare and ChatGPT Image Latest; Google Nano Banana 2.1, Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image and Gemini 3 Pro Image.

Select models available to your own provider account. A fallback is attempted for HTTP 429 or 503 when configured; if it uses the other provider, configure both keys. Select None to disable fallback. Generate a draft, then review facts, links, HTML, product references and metadata. Inspect a generated image’s crop, rights and alt text before publishing. Provider models and charges can change, so test selected text and image models before regular use.

Prompt changes in 1.0.3

The built-in article, featured-image and topical-map prompts now ask for factual, useful material without a forced article length, generic FAQ or unsupported search-volume claims. Review every draft before publishing; the AI has no independent knowledge of your live prices, stock or product specifications. If you previously saved your own article or image prompt, the upgrade keeps it. It replaces a saved prompt only when it is exactly the previous 1.0.2 built-in default. Review the prompts under AI Writer after upgrading if you want to adopt or customise the new wording.

Provider charges are separate. OpenAI and Google AI bill API use to your own accounts according to your selected models and usage. The Blog Pro licence does not include API credit.

Release and compatibility

1.0.5 — direct-store release: Groups Blog Pro configuration under AgenticEcom · SEO and Content. The blog and AI implementation is unchanged from 1.0.4. The recorded walkthrough and runtime checks below use 1.0.4.

1.0.4 — 13 October 2026: Editing an existing Admin tag now loads its saved name and URL key. Save updates that tag instead of creating a duplicate. The exact 1.0.4 source upgraded and DI compiled on Magento Open Source 2.4.9 / PHP 8.5.10; a populated tag edit and all 177 AgenticEcom Admin pages passed. OpenAI and Gemini text and image provider calls returned usable results.

1.0.3 — 8 October 2026: Improved the built-in article, featured-image and topical-map prompts while retaining merchant-edited prompts. The Luma listing and article routes returned HTTP 200 in separate QA.

Check the Marketplace compatibility declaration and validate your own Magento/PHP pair, theme and integrations in staging. A direct-store one-time purchase includes 12 months of updates and priority support; renewal is optional and is not automatic. Purchased versions remain usable after the update period, subject to the AgenticEcom licence and order terms. OpenAI and Google AI bill optional API use separately. Support: support@agenticecom.net.
