Pages are for permanent content such as About or Contact. Posts are dated entries that appear in your blog feed and can be filed under categories and tags.

Creating a page

  1. Go to Pages → Add New.
  2. Type the title, then click below it to add content blocks.
  3. Use the + button to insert paragraphs, images, headings, buttons, columns and more.
  4. Click Publish, or use Save draft if you are not ready.

Creating a post

Same process under Posts → Add New, with three extras in the right-hand sidebar:

  • Categories — broad topics; assign one per post.
  • Tags — specific keywords; a handful per post is plenty.
  • Featured image — the thumbnail shown in listings and social shares.

Useful options

Under Publish you can schedule for a future date, or set visibility to Private or password-protected. Scheduled publishing depends on cron, so make sure you have a real cron job configured.

Click the URL field in the sidebar to set a clean, short slug — good for readers and for search engines.
