Pages and Posts

Your site is built around two basic concepts. Pages and Posts. Posts are typically News and Announcements entries. A series of articles, listed reverse-chronologically on the home page. Pages are used for more static content (i.e. content that doesn’t change or changes infrequently).

Pages

After clicking on the Pages menu option you’ll be shown a list of Pages that your site contains. The pages are listed in sections reflecting the structure and navigation of your website. The Pages screen will look similar to screen below.

When hovering your cursor over each row, a few links will appear to the right of the Page title.

Edit – Will allow you to edit your Page. This is the same as clicking on the Page title

Quick Edit – Allows you to edit basic Page information such as Title, Slug, Date plus a few other options

View – Displays the Page. If the Page hasn’t been published yet, this will say Preview

Trash – Will send the Page to the Trash. Once the Trash is emptied, the page is deleted

Posts

After clicking on the Posts menu option you’ll be shown a list of Posts that your site contains. Among the information displayed is the Post title, the Author, Categories, Tags, No. of Comments and either the Date Published, Date Scheduled or the Date the Post was Last Modified. The Posts screen will look similar to the screen below.

At the top of the page you can view how many Posts in total you have in your site, how many are Published, Scheduled, Sticky, Pending, in Draft or in the Trash.

When hovering your cursor over each row, a few links will appear beneath the Post title.

Next to each Post title is a checkbox. This allows you to perform an action on multiple items at once. You simply check the Posts that you would like to affect and then from the Bulk Actions dropdown select either the Edit option or the Move to Trash option and then click the Apply button. The Edit option will allow you to edit the Categories, Tags, Author, whether to allow Comments and Pings or not, the Status and whether or not the Posts are ‘Sticky’. The Move to Trash option will move the selected items to the Trash.

You can also filter the pages that are displayed using the dropdown lists and the Filter button.

At the top of the list of Posts there are also two icons that change how the list is displayed. Click the List View icon to display the posts in the traditional List View or click the Excerpt View icon to display a short excerpt from the Post underneath the Post title.
