Posts vs. Pages

When you create content on a WordPress site, you’ll be able to create posts and pages. Both have their respective uses and can add dynamic elemts to your site.

But what are the differences between WordPress posts and WordPress pages?

What is a WordPress Post?

A WordPress post is what makes up the blog aspect of your site.

WordPress posts:

  • Usually provide news or information updates about a certain topic
  • Are listed in reverse chronological order
  • can be tagged, categorized, or archived
  • Make up the RSS content of your site

What is a WordPress Page?

Generally, WordPress pages are reserved for static content or information. For example, an About Page or Privacy Policy Page.

WordPress pages:

  • Are not listed in reverse chronological order
  • Cannot be tagged, categorized, or archived
  • Can be ‘nested’ or have a hierarchy
  • Do not compromise the RSS content of your site.
