Blog Draft Preview is a Broken Link

Check the Blog post page path in the settings section.

I ran into a similar issue last week. Preview was displaying a 404.

My Blog post page path looked like this:

    {postSlug}

To get preview working again I had to change it to this:

    /{postSlug}

It could be something else, but it's a quick thing to try. :)

Thanks! Weird, I tried it the first time and it didn't work. Worked this time though. Must have not saved the settings.
