Posts&nbsp;are&nbsp;date-stamped when published, and&nbsp;by default are shown&nbsp;in&nbsp;reverse chronological order on the home page of a WordPress site. You can also create a Rich Site Summary (RSS) feed from posts, which also shows the posts in reverse chronological order. The typical use for a post is a&nbsp;news article or blog post that is published regularly. You can&nbsp;organize posts by assigning <strong>categories<\/strong> and <strong>tags<\/strong> that make it easier to search for them. By default, posts include a comment field where readers can comment&nbsp;on what they have read. In WolfWare WordPress, you have the option of disabling comments in&nbsp;the WordPress settings in WolfWare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider using posts for information that you want to give&nbsp;students on a schedule or as needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Course announcements, reminders, or updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekly assignments or discussion topics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesson summaries or reviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main ways to create a new post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the left Navigation Menu, click <strong>Posts<\/strong>, then <strong>Add new<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the top Admin Toolbar, click on <strong>New<\/strong>, then <strong>Post<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pages are meant to contain <strong>static<\/strong> content and are not date-stamped. Pages can be organized in a <strong>hierarchy<\/strong>, with sub-pages organized under parent pages. The items listed in navigational menus are typically pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider using pages for information that you want students to always easily access in a main menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Course information and policies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course topics outline or schedule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instructor information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main ways to create a new page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the left Navigation Menu, click <strong>Pages<\/strong>, then <strong>Add new<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the top Admin Toolbar, click on <strong>New<\/strong>, then <strong>Page<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"#top\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#990000\">Back to Top<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This information applies to WolfWare WordPress version 6.4.
