Differences Between Pages and Posts

April 29, 2018 by Webb Weavers Consulting WordPress Tutorial Videos

Pages are similar to posts in that they both have the following:

  • Title
  • Content
  • Add Media
  • Add Contact Form
  • Discussion Options
  • Sharing Options
  • Featured Image
  • Privacy Settings

Pages are not listed by date; they don’t have tags or categories, and you can change the template.

You can use a menu to make your pages stand out for readers, or you can use the pages widget. Some themes show pages in tabs at the top of a blog.

Popular uses for pages are for content that does not changes often, such as:

  • Category Page
  • Contact Page
  • About Page
  • Home Page

Posts are typically used for writing a blog entry. And posts function differently than pages. They can be found in archives, categories, recent posts, various widgets and RSS feeds of your blog. Posts, in a default setup, appear in reverse chronological order on your blog’s home page.

There are also different ways of showing posts. For example, you can create a sticky post, which means that the post will show before all other posts.

You can also limit the number of posts shown by going to Dashboard>Reading>Settings.
