Creating or Updating Posts#

Posts are short articles used to share content about events, news or stories.

They are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, meaning the most recent post you've published is going to be displayed at the top.

Post#

• Status: You can change the status of your post on the fly, if you are busy with another task or waiting for more content, you can set the status of your post to 'draft', 'publish', or 'pending review'. You can also set the status to private or schedule it to be published on a specified date.

• Revisions: allows the author to see the lastest updates that were made for the post.

• Publish: Wordpress provides you with a date on when this post was published. This can be edited if needed.

Post Content#

• Content Blocks: Additional content can be added further should the author choose to do so.

Preview Content#

As seen in the news/posts overview pages.

• Post Title: Allows the author to add title for the post

• Excerpt: This is what's displayed underneath the featured image as seen on the post overview pages. It allows the author to provide a brief summary or teaser of a post's content. If an excerpt isn’t added, the site will display a shortened version the content written out for the post.
