Hello,

my client wants to be able to add more modules to Blog Post and Blog Listing templates after clicking “Edit”.

I added dnd\_area to my template, but my custom modules disappeared because of that.

What might be the possible problem?  
I did that in another project and it worked - customer was able to add more modules.

Hi @WGwardjak,

first of all:

- there is unfortunatly no drag&drop" for blog posts for now - but you can upvote this in the[ideas board.](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Drag-amp-Drop-functionality-for-Blog-Posts/idi-p/408909)

To get things right:  
unless the client edit the template your custom module gets displayed. As soon as the client edits it - it disappears. Right? Do those projects/clients have different “software”? Like does project A has CMS Hub Pro and project B only Marketing Hub Pro. Things like this. I’ve came accross some similar behavior in the past.

Also: there are few things that you shouold check/do:

1. change {% module\_block %}… {% end\_module\_block %} to {% dnd\_module %}…{% end\_dnd\_module %} for all modules that are inside of the dnd\_area
2. If your module shouldn’t be removable - place it outside of the dnd\_area
3. check if your module(s) is/are enabled for blog listing

hope this helps,

best

Anton

Hi @WGwardjak ,

You have to follow the proper sequence then only dnd area will work also you have to define a different unique class for your every dnd area , through which you can give css as per your requirement as shown in below example

\<!-----------------------------Homepage Blog Section Start Here -----------------------------\>

{% dnd\_area ‘home-blog-module’ class=’home-blog-section’, label=‘Blog Section’ %}

{% dnd\_section

```
padding={

'default': { 'top': '100', 'bottom': '100', 'right': '20', 'left': '20' },

'mobile': { 'top':'60', 'bottom': '60', 'right': '20', 'left': '20' }

},

max\_width=1170

```

%}

```
{% dnd\_column %}

  {% dnd\_row %}

    {% dnd\_module path='../modules/CarouselNew.module',label="CarouselNew Module" %}

    {% end\_dnd\_module %}

  {% end\_dnd\_row %}

{% end\_dnd\_column %}

```

{% end\_dnd\_section %}

{% end\_dnd\_area %}

\<!----------------------------- Homepagel Blog Section Ends Here -----------------------------\>

\<!-----------------------------Homepage other Section Start Here -----------------------------\>

{% dnd\_area ‘home-other-module’ class=’home-other-section’, label=‘Other Section’ %}

{% dnd\_section

………

{% end\_dnd\_section %}

{% end\_dnd\_area %}

\<!----------------------------- Homepagel Other Section Ends Here -----------------------------\>

For More details please read this article:- [Drag and Drop Areas HubL Tags - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/tags/dnd-areas)

Hi @WGwardjak,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’ve moved this to our CMS board to make sure it gets seen by the right experts, I hope you don’t mind.

I noticed that you’ve also posted your question in a comment under [this Community post](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/Adding-modules-is-turned-off-in-this-post-s-template/td-p/322050), I’ll leave it here for additional context.

I want to tag a couple of experts to see if they can help out here:

hi @alyssamwilie, @Anton, @prosa, @albertsg, do you have any tips for @WGwardjak? Thank you!

**\*EDIT: I’ve just seen you posted your question in the CMS board as well and already got help by the wonderful [@webdew](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/131510) and @Oezcan. I’ll merge these two posts to avoid duplicate content.**

Cheers  
Mia, Community Team
