WordPress makes it easy to add new pages and posts to your website. It’s one of the reasons it’s so popular. Your website’s theme takes care of the design of your site, which means that you can just focus on the content without having to worry about pages looking consistent.

WordPress is a great tool for building websites, but sometimes you might not want every single page on your site to be available to the public. You may be working on building new pages that aren’t ready yet, or you may have some information that should only be available to specific users. Luckily, WordPress has many default options for hiding posts and pages from the public, and plugins can extend these privacy settings even further. Below, we’ll walk you through a few different scenarios you might run into when trying to keep your content private.

WordPress is the most popular content management system on the internet, but it wasn’t always that way. Back when it was first created, WordPress was just a blogging platform rather than a fully-fledged CMS. Blogging is still at the heart of WordPress; any Posts created in WordPress are by default displayed in chronological order in your site’s blog feed. But keep blogging long enough, and soon your main blog feed will get unruly, and your readers may have to dig through pages and pages of posts before finding the article they’re looking for. How do you organize a blog with hundreds of posts?

A standard WordPress installation offers two different post types: Posts and Pages. If you’ve never worked with WordPress before, you may be asking yourself, “What’s the difference?” Both posts and pages have nearly identical editing interfaces, and at a glance, it is not obvious when to use each post type. If you find yourself asking these questions, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’re going to break down the differences between WordPress posts and pages and give you the confidence you need to know when to use each one.
