How to Create a Post in WordPress

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a Post in WordPress. Posts are treated much like digital entries into a journal. Posts are displayed in chronological order with the most recent post at the top. Pages and posts are both key components of a WordPress site. For more information, see our full guide that compares WordPress Pages vs Posts.

Click the Posts link in the navigation menu.
Click the Add New button on the Posts page.
