What is the difference between a page and a post?

In short

Does the content remain the same for a long time and should it be in your menu? Create a page. Is it news, a blog, or an update related to a specific moment? Create a post.

A page: static content

You can find pages in the menu on the left under Pages. Think of your homepage, a page for each service, About Us, and Contact. A page has no date and no category. You usually place it in the menu yourself. How to create one is explained in adding a new page.

Main and subpages

You can organize pages: a Web Design page under the parent page Services gets the address /services/web-design/. This keeps large sites organized. See creating a subpage.

A post: news and blogs

You can find posts under Posts. Each post gets a publication date. New posts automatically appear at the top of your overview, while older ones move down.

Date, category, and featured image

• Categories and Tags group your posts, for example, “News” and “Tips”.
• The Featured image appears with the post in overviews.
• The Summary is a short intro for overviews.

How to write and publish a post is explained in writing a blog post.

Automatically display posts with the Featured block

The great thing about posts: you don’t have to place them on a page yourself. Place the block Featured on your homepage, and choose Type of feature as By post type and Type as Post. With Number of items to display, you determine how many. When you write a new post, it will automatically appear there as a card with the featured image, the title, and a snippet of text. More in the Featured block.

Other types: frequently asked questions, reviews, and pop-ups

In addition to pages and posts, your website has its own types of content. You also create these separately and display them with a block:

• Frequently asked questions: one question with an answer per item.
• Reviews: customer ratings.
• Pop-ups: a window that appears over your page.
• Builders: sections that you reuse on multiple pages.

A single question or review is not created as a page, but under its own menu item.

Unsure?

• Do you want it to be in the menu and stay there for a long time? Page.
• Does it have a date that matters, or do you want it to automatically appear in a news overview? Post.
• Is it a landing page for a service or a location? Page.
• A vacancy, promotion, or event that can be removed later? Usually a post, unless your website has its own section for it.
