Pages and posts
Everything you write lives under Content. Each kind of content has its own tab: Pages and Posts are built in, and your site may have more, such as Projects or Team members (see Content types).
- Pages are the lasting parts of the site: Home, About, Contact. Pages can sit under other pages: a page called Pricing under Services lives at
/services/pricing. - Posts are dated articles. They live at
/blog/<slug>and can be organized with Categories and Tags.
Finding content
Section titled “Finding content”The list for each type has:
- a search box;
- status filters: All, Drafts, Published, Unpublished changes, and Trash;
- on sites with several languages, a language filter.
Each row shows the title, its status, its public address, and when it was last changed.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Never published. Visitors can’t see it. |
| Published | Live, and the live version is the latest. |
| Changes not published | Live, but there’s a newer saved draft that visitors don’t see yet. |
| Trashed | Deleted, and restorable from the Trash. |
Long lists have page numbers above and below the list. “Showing 26–50 of 928” tells you where you are, and the Per page menu (25, 50, or 100) is remembered for each list. The media library, People, the activity log, and Redirects work the same way.
Links from your old site that point to a later page of a list (for example ?pg=2) open that page of the list. Addresses typed in capitals (/About), with a slash at the end (/about/), or starting with /index.php take visitors to the page.
Creating content
Section titled “Creating content”Type a title in the New page title box and choose Create page (or Create post). The new item opens in the editor straight away. Nothing is public until you publish it.
If your site has AI assistance, Draft a page with AI writes a first draft from a short description.
The dashboard has shortcuts too: Create a page, Write a post, and Add media.
Page settings
Section titled “Page settings”With no block selected, the right-hand panel of the editor shows the item’s settings:
-
Title.
-
URL slug: the last part of the address. It follows the title until you edit it yourself. Changing the slug of a published item is safe: the old address redirects to the new one.
-
Parent page (pages only), or None (top level).
-
Fields for the type, such as Summary, Excerpt, Featured image, or Related posts. Fields marked (required to publish) must be filled in before publishing.
-
Categories and tags (posts): tick existing ones, or type a new one in Add new… and press Enter.
-
Search title, Search description, and Sharing image. See Search and sharing.
-
Visibility:
- Members only. See Memberships.
- Hide from menus and automatic navigation: left out of automatic menus, page navigation, and breadcrumbs. Links you added to a menu yourself still show.
- Hide subpages from automatic navigation (pages): its subpages are left out of automatic menus and page navigation.
- Position in navigation (pages): lower numbers come first in automatic menus. Pages without a number follow, in alphabetical order.
- Hide from page lists: left out of the blog, categories, month archives, and other lists.
- Hide from site search: visitors searching your site won’t find it.
- Hide from search engines: asks search engines not to show it and leaves it out of the sitemap.
The page can still be opened from its address in every case. Like everything else on the page, these settings take effect when you publish.
-
Structured data (JSON-LD) (developers only): schema.org data for search engines, as JSON. It’s checked when you save.
-
Revision note (optional): a word about what changed, shown in the history.
Fields with several choices show a checkbox for each option; tick as many as apply.
In formatted text fields, blank lines start new paragraphs, and **bold**, *italic*, and [links](/path) work.
Deleting and restoring
Section titled “Deleting and restoring”Move to trash unpublishes the item and moves it to the Trash. Open the Trash filter and choose Restore to bring it back.
