Creating a Post with the Classic Editor
The Classic Editor provides a familiar, word-processor style interface for writing blog posts and articles quickly and efficiently.
Step 1: Start a New Post
Log in to your dashboard and navigate to Posts > Add New on the left-hand sidebar.
Step 2: Adding Content
- 1. Title: Enter your post title in the top text field.
- 2. Text Body: Type your content into the large main window. Use the toolbar for Bold, Italics, and bullet points.
- 3. Add Media: Click the Add Media button to upload images or select them from your library to insert into your text.
- 4. Formatting: Use the "Paragraph" dropdown to change text to Heading 2 or Heading 3 for better SEO structure.
Step 3: Categorise and Publish
Before hitting publish, check the right-hand sidebar:
- Select a Category so readers can find your post.
- Set a Featured Image (this is the main image shown on your blog list).
- Click Publish to make your post live immediately.
Pro Tip: Use the Preview button in the Publish box to see how your post looks on the front end before it goes live to the world.
