What happened to Ideas 💡 Feature in blogger. How to get it back.

Blogger did roll out a feature called "Ideas", which suggested post ideas based on your existing blog content and trending Google search queries. It appeared as a bulb icon in the Blogger dashboard (usually on the left panel or in the "Posts" section), but many users have recently noticed it missing.

Here’s what you should know and try:

---

🟡 Why the “Ideas” Feature May Be Missing

1. Feature Rollback or Testing Phase

   • Google often tests features regionally or temporarily. The Ideas button might have been part of an experimental rollout, and may have been removed or limited to certain regions or accounts.

2. Blogger Interface Changes

   • If there was a recent update to Blogger’s interface, it's possible that the Ideas feature has been relocated or disabled temporarily.

3. Account or Language Settings

   • Some features are shown based on account type, content language, or location. If you changed your blog's language, region, or switched accounts, the Ideas feature might not appear.

4. Browser Cache/Extension Issues

   • Sometimes browser extensions or cache issues may cause certain UI features not to display correctly.

✅ Steps to Try and Restore the “Ideas” Feature

1. Clear Cache & Try Incognito Mode

   • Clear browser cache or open Blogger in Incognito/Private mode to check if it's a rendering issue.

2. Change Language to English (US)

   • Go to Settings > Language and Formatting and try switching the Language to English (United States). Then reload the dashboard.

3. Try a Different Google Account

   • Login with another Google account to check if it’s available there. Some features are account-specific.

4. Revert to Older Blogger Interface

   • If you’re using the new version, go to the bottom-left corner of your dashboard and see if there's an option like “Revert to Legacy Blogger” or try using a different browser that may load an older version.

5. Update Your Browser

   • Ensure you're on the latest version of Chrome or Firefox, which Blogger supports best.

🔍 Alternative (Not Ideal) Workaround

If “Ideas” isn’t showing, you can simulate the functionality manually using:

• Google Trends: https://trends.google.com
• Google Search Console > Performance Report: Find which queries are leading users to your blog, and write more about them.
• AnswerThePublic or AlsoAsked.com for topic suggestions around your blog keywords.
