time.\u00a0This one page or content also rarely gets changes because that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called a static page.<\/p>\n<p>A site owner usually uses\u00a0WordPress\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0to create \u201cAbout\u201d, \u201cContact\u201d, \u201cPrivacy Policy\u201d pages, and others.\u00a0Unlike\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0, when you create a\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0you won&#8217;t find any

complete\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0(example:\u00a0<em>About<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0<em>Contact<\/em>\u00a0, and others)<\/li>\n<li>Tools for producing timeless content<\/li>\n<li>You can use it to create

a\u00a0<em>page<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5 Differences between Posts and Pages in WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>To make it easier to understand the difference between\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0, we can highlight these two features in some technical aspects as follows.<\/p>\n<h3>By Timeline<\/h3>\n<p>All\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0on your WordPress site will appear chronologically from newest to oldest.\u00a0The publishing time of a\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0(date to time) will be recorded and displayed on the\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0Therefore, a\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0may expire..<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the case with a\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/random\/blogging\/learn-wordpress-for-beginners\/\">WordPress\u00a0<em>page<\/em><\/a>\u00a0does not display the creation date.\u00a0Content in the form of static pages will continue to be relevant over time, although you can still update it if needed.<\/p>\n<p>One or more\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0will not appear chronologically, you must direct\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0visitors\u00a0to these pages through navigation in the form of links.\u00a0Can use links in menus or other places.<\/p>\n<h3>By Ownership<\/h3>\n<p>By\u00a0<em>default<\/em>\u00a0, the WordPress system will display the contributor account name on a\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0If the\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0is written by a different person, then the name that appears will also be different.\u00a0Users can find archives of all\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0by each author.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately we can&#8217;t see the same thing on\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0WordPress static page does not show which account or user created it.\u00a0Even if another admin changes the page and updates it, the change notes can&#8217;t appear on the page if the admin doesn&#8217;t write it down.<\/p>\n<h3>By Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Above we have explained that a\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0has a choice of formats.\u00a0If you don&#8217;t change it, the\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0will be in the default format.\u00a0But if you want to create a\u00a0new\u00a0<em>post<\/em> that contains a quote, you can change it to \u201cQuote\u201d. Likewise with other formats.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we can also embed categories and\u00a0<em>tags<\/em>\u00a0(\u00a0<em>tags<\/em>\u00a0) in\u00a0a WordPress\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0This will make it easier for users to find\u00a0related\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0on a\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0can only be arranged in a hierarchy.\u00a0If the WordPress theme supports it, you can also set a\u00a0<em>template<\/em>\u00a0from that\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>By Engagement<\/h3>\n<p>The difference between\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0in WordPress can also be seen in the\u00a0<em>engagement<\/em>\u00a0that can be generated.\u00a0As the purpose of\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0as content is to attract\u00a0<em>social engagement<\/em>\u00a0, you can add social media share buttons to\u00a0your <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress<\/a>\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, it&#8217;s not impossible to add a share button on a\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0, it&#8217;s just that static pages generally don&#8217;t have the uniqueness to attract other people to share it on their social media.<\/p>\n<h3>Based on Availability in RSS Feed<\/h3>\n<p>When submitting a\u00a0new\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0in WordPress, it will be immediately available in the RSS Feed.\u00a0Readers can see new articles that enter the RSS Feed without opening\u00a0your\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0This is a technology that is generally available in the subscription feature for\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0updates\u00a0via email.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike\u00a0<em>post<\/em>\u00a0, a\u00a0<em>page is<\/em>\u00a0not available in the RSS Feed.\u00a0To view a\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0, visitors must search for it on the\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0through certain navigation.\u00a0If you do not provide navigation, it will be difficult to find the\u00a0<em>page<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Well, from all the explanations above, differentiating\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0on WordPress is not difficult, right?<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, if you have a\u00a0WordPress-based\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0, don&#8217;t forget to carry out regular WordPress maintenance tasks too, so that your site has the best performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Closing<\/h2>\n<p>Both\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0are important in a WordPress-based site.\u00a0Although\u00a0we can build\u00a0a\u00a0<em>website<\/em>\u00a0using just a few\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0have an important role in\u00a0<em>marketing<\/em>\u00a0and educating the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>Using the right\u00a0<em>posts<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>pages<\/em>\u00a0will make a WordPress site professional.\u00a0If the site is a business site, it will certainly have a good impact on the image of the business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article we will share about the differences between posts and pages in wordpress.
