To start growing your web design skills on WordPress, it is fundamentally important to differentiate between pages and posts.
PAGES + POSTS = CONTENT TYPES
What are pages?
- Pages are static, timeless content that doesn’t change frequently.
What are examples of pages?
- Home, services, about, and contact page
What are posts?
- Posts are dynamic, regularly updated content entries displayed in reverse chronological order.
What are examples of posts?
- News articles, movie reviews, the latest recipes in a cooking blog
The main differences between pages and posts in WordPress
- Pages are not shown in reverse chronological order as Posts.
- A page can be the parent or child of another, creating page structure, while blogs can’t.
- Posts use categories and tags to be placed into a hierarchical order.
