Disadvantages and Problems With Blogger's Dynamic Views

It’s been a long time since Blogger Blogspot, and many people are using it as well. If you want to enable the Dynamic View, you must consider the facts I am going to mention now.

Basically, dynamic views are a feature that enables a blog publisher to enable a Rich Internet User Interface for his blog readers; basically, it’s a new blogger Template.

I had a horrible experience a few days back with the dynamic View functionality of Blogger when I accidentally enabled it for one of my main blogs. Below is a list of issues I faced.

1. Template Changes Gone:
I have done AdSense integration inside blog posts by modifying Blogger templates, but due to dynamic views, everything got lost. This information is permanent damage, and if you haven’t backed up your template, your day will be ruined.

2. All widgets disappeared from the UI.
I had many HTML widgets, which are totally lost when it comes to Dynamic View, as it has its own template to render the UI. Lucki, those widgets were not deleted from the actual layout, Bloggerger, and I could restore them.

3. Google Analytics does not work.
Since the code is in the layout, which is not at all used for rendering the U, the Analytics code stops working. I will be writing an article just to tell you how to enable Google Analytics in Dynamic View, so stay tuned.

4. AdSense Code added via HTML widgets also stops working:
This is the most important problem with Dynamic View, i.e., the dsenseCode is not rendered in the Dynamic UI, which is added via HTML widgets. To enable AdSense, you simply have to go to Earnings > AdSense on blog > Yes.

5. Customizations Disappear:
I had modified the blog layout via Advanced Settings from the etemplateCustomization options, for example, the width of the blog, etc. All of them are simply lost.

Dynamic Views is a very good feature made by Blogger, but it’s not a good option for people who have done heavy customization to their blog templates and have heavy revenue-generating traffic.

Conclusion:

While Blogger’s Dynamic Views may look modern and interactive, they can cause significant issues for bloggers who rely on customization, widgets, analytics, and ad revenue. If you’ve invested time in tailoring your template for design or monetization, enabling Dynamic Views could undo your efforts. It’s best suited for simple blogs with minimal customization needs rather than professional or revenue-focused sites.

FAQs

Q1. Do Dynamic Views delete my existing widgets permanently?
No, widgets are not deleted from your layout, but they won’t appear in the Dynamic View interface. You’ll need to switch back to your original template to restore their visibility.

Q2. Why does Google Analytics stop working in Dynamic Views?
Analytics code placed in the template layout isn’t used by Dynamic Views, so it won’t track properly unless you follow specific steps to re-enable it.

Q3. Is Dynamic View suitable for monetized blogs?
Not really. Since AdSense and other HTML widget codes don’t render properly, Dynamic Views can severely reduce ad visibility and revenue.
