WordPress has two distinct taxonomies for publishing content: Pages and Posts. While the Page editor and Post editor look the same, and provide many of the same tools, their parallels effectively end there.
The Pages and Posts WordPress Video Tutorial covers the following topics:
- A comparison of Pages and Posts.
- How Posts display on your WordPress website.
- Methods of organizing Posts.
- The purpose of Pages
- How Pages are organized on your WordPress website.
Pages and Posts each have a unique structure for how content is organized, searched and shared. A Post is akin to a journal entry that by default displays on your home page in reverse order, like tweets on a Twitter profile–showing the most recent entries at the top. Posts can be tagged and filed into categories providing powerful search options for finding and managing archived posts.
You can create a page structure by creating sub-pages.
Pages on the other hand, are for static content—content that remains the same for the most part—like an About Us page or a Contact Us page. You cannot tag a Page, or add it to a category; instead, you can create “parent” pages, and stack sub-pages (also known as “child pages”) under them to make content easier to navigate for your readers. Using this sub-pages system not only helps make your site easier to navigate, it also bolsters your Search Engine Optimization efforts when done correctly. You can learn more about SEO and how you can increase your website’s visibility online here.
