|
Good day and welcome back to your Learn WordPress journey.
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:13,080
|
|
In this section, we're going to dive into a fundamental aspect of WordPress, understanding the difference between posts and pages.
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,600
|
|
Here are the learning outcomes for this lesson.
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:26,840
|
|
We will learn to differentiate between posts and pages, create a post and page, apply categories and tags to posts, and create and edit a page in the site editor.
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,720
|
|
Before we jump into the specifics, let's start with an overview.
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:40,080
|
|
In WordPress, both posts and pages are content types, but they serve different purposes.
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:49,040
|
|
In short, posts are used for dynamic content, such as blog posts, news articles, recipes, etc.
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,400
|
|
Whereas pages are static type content, like a contact page for example.
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,520
|
|
Here we are in the WordPress dashboard.
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:06,040
|
|
To create a new post or page, you can navigate to the posts or pages section on the left hand menu.
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:12,760
|
|
And if you want to create a new post or page, merely click on add new post or add new page.
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,960
|
|
Let's start with posts.
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:24,000
|
|
Posts are for dynamic, regularly updated content entries that are displayed in reverse chronological order.
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:39,800
|
|
They are perfect for content that you regularly update, such as blog articles, news pages,
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,000
|
|
or even reviews.
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,040
|
|
Imagine you have a cooking blog, and you want to share your latest recipe.
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,560
|
|
You would create a new post for this content.
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:02,960
|
|
As you can see in this example, I have already created two different posts, and I have added categories and tags.
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,760
|
|
Categories and tags are essential for posts.
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,800
|
|
Categories are like the table of contents for your blog, grouping similar posts together.
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,760
|
|
Tags on the other hand are more specific keywords that describe the content in greater detail.
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,520
|
|
So for my food blog, I have created two categories already.
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,760
|
|
One called mains and one called breakfast. And the tags describe more about the recipe.
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:34,000
|
|
So let's go ahead and create a new post. A chocolate cake recipe.
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,680
|
|
But please note, I have already created a category named dessert, and two tags, namely
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,280
|
|
cakes and cupcakes, and chocolate.
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,970
|
|
So now we'll go ahead to all posts, and then click on add new post.
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:02:55,970 --> 00:03:04,080
|
|
Firstly, I will add the title of the blog post, and then the recipe.
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:13,240
|
|
Once I've added the recipe, I will open up the sidebar settings, and scroll down to categories and tags.
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:25,400
|
|
Then I will select the dessert category, and add the chocolate and cake and cupcakes tags.
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:34,440
|
|
Next, I will also add the post featured image, or the post thumbnail, and select an image
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,960
|
|
from my media library.
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:46,120
|
|
Next, we can decide to save this as a draft, or if we scroll up in our sidebar settings.
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:56,960
|
|
We can click on the date next to publish, and then decide to publish this now, or schedule it to go live at a later stage.
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:05,600
|
|
I will go ahead and publish this now, and then we can see what our posts look like on the front end.
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:18,560
|
|
Here we can see our three recipes on our blog page, and we can also open up one of our individual recipes to see the end result.
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,040
|
|
Now let's talk about pages.
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,760
|
|
Pages are static, timeless content that doesn't change frequently.
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:33,640
|
|
Examples include your site's home page, a services page, an about page, and a contact page.
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:40,920
|
|
If you want to create a dedicated about a section for your website, you'd use a page.
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,880
|
|
Unlike posts, pages don't have categories or tags.
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,480
|
|
They are standalone pieces of content.
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
00:04:47,480 --> 00:05:01,120
|
|
So let's go ahead and add a new page, and call it about, and then add some content.
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:12,360
|
|
Once published, we can view it on the front end, and you will also notice that the about page is now part of the navigation menu.
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,720
|
|
Did you know you can also create and edit pages in the site editor?
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:25,720
|
|
So let's make our way to editor, and this will take us into the site editor.
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:34,440
|
|
Then we can make our way to pages, and here you are able to create a new page, or you
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:43,560
|
|
can edit an existing page.
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:53,880
|
|
The great thing about the site editor is that you can seamlessly move between pages, styles, templates, patterns, etc.
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,880
|
|
And there we have it.
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:02,520
|
|
Remember, posts offer dynamic, regularly updated content, while pages offer static, timeless information.
