Glossary Post

A post in WordPress is the primary content type used for creating and publishing articles, blog entries, or news items. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order on the blog page or homepage of a WordPress site. They have several key characteristics:

Content Structure: Posts usually consist of a title, body content, and optional elements such as featured images, categories, and tags.

Chronological Order: By default, posts are displayed with the most recent entries appearing first.

Archives: WordPress automatically generates archive pages for posts, organized by date, category, or tag.

RSS Feed: Posts are included in the site’s RSS feed, allowing subscribers to receive updates.

Comments: Posts typically allow readers to leave comments, fostering engagement and discussion.

To create a new post:

  1. Navigate to Posts > Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Use the Block Editor to add content, including text, images, and other media.
  3. Set categories and tags to organize your post.
  4. Add a featured image to represent the post visually.

Publish or schedule the post when ready.
