About Back Issue
Back Issue is a magazine-style Framer blog for writers with years of posts.
It sets a blog like the bound volume of a magazine. Each year is a volume with its number set huge, each post is a numbered entry in the contents, and a post without a photo gets a cover set from its title instead of an empty box. An old WordPress, Squarespace, Substack or Ghost blog rarely has a photo on every post; here twenty in a row without one still look like a magazine.
Moving an old blog in? Blog Import fills every post, year and cover in one run. It is in Framer review right now; email us and we will tell you when it is back.

20 sample posts across 5 yearly volumes and 4 categories, 13 of them with type covers
Home with the current volume, lead story, contents and more entries
Article page with a photo and with a type cover
Category pages and an archive of every volume

Setup
Remix the template.
Install Blog Import from the Framer Marketplace and open it on the Blog collection.
Choose your export file (WordPress, Squarespace, Blogger, Medium, Ghost, Substack, Hashnode, Webflow) or WordPress address, choose "2 collections, Blog and categories" and tick "Remove the N posts already in this collection".
Publish. The Read me page inside the project covers new posts and the form.
Limitations
Blog Import fills the extra fields (year, entry number, cover style, title size). Your newest 25 posts import free; a Blog Import license imports the rest. A post written by hand needs its year and entry number set.
Two CMS collections, posts and categories, so it publishes on Framer Basic.
Redirects from old addresses need Framer Pro.
