Blog Posts
Last Update: 2 December 2025All Blog Posts are managed from the WordPress Dashboard > Posts section.
After clicking on the Posts menu option you’ll be shown a list of Posts that your site contains. The Posts screen will look similar to the screen below.
At the top of the page you can view how many Posts in total you have in your site, how many have been published by yourself or Published, Scheduled, Sticky, Pending, in Draft or in the Trash.
When hovering your cursor over each row, a few links will appear beneath the Post title.
- Edit – Will allow you to edit your Post. This is the same as clicking on the Post title
- Quick Edit – Allows you to edit basic Post information such as Title, Slug, Date plus a few other options
- Trash – Will send the Post to the Trash. Once the Trash is emptied, the page is deleted
- View – Displays the Post. If the Post hasn’t been published yet, this will say Preview
Next to each Post title is a checkbox. This allows you to perform an action on multiple items at once. You simply check the Posts that you would like to affect and then from the Bulk Actions dropdown select either the Edit option or the Move to Trash option and then click the Apply button. The Edit option will allow you to edit the Categories, Tags, Author, whether to allow Comments and Pings or not, the Status and whether or not the Posts are ‘Sticky’. The Move to Trash option will move the selected items to the Trash.
Add/Edit New Post:
- From the WordPress Dashboard, click Posts and choose Add New or Select Existing Post to edit.
- From the post editor you’ll manage all the details related to the post. The basics include:
- Post Title
- Post Content
- Post Author
- Post Featured Image (displays in right-column)
- Once this information has been added, and the article is formatted as you like, click Publish – you can click “Draft” if you would like to save it publish later.
