Creating and Managing Content
From Idea to Published Content
Creating content in WordPress mainly happens through the Block Editor (Gutenberg), which lets you build posts and pages using individual content blocks like paragraphs, images, and headings.
Everyday Content Tasks
- Add a new Post or Page from the dashboard, then use blocks to add text, images, lists, and embeds.
- Save drafts as you work, preview changes before publishing, and use the Revisions feature to roll back edits.
- Schedule content for a future date and time instead of publishing it immediately.
Managing Existing Content
Use the Posts or Pages list to search, filter by category, and bulk-edit multiple items at once.
Regularly review and update older content to keep information accurate and maintain SEO value.
| Task | Where to Do It |
|---|---|
| Write new content | Posts/Pages > Add New |
| Save without publishing | Save Draft button |
| Undo recent changes | Revisions panel |
| Schedule future post | Publish box > Immediately (edit date) |
| Bulk manage content | All Posts/Pages list view |
As you publish more content, clean URLs and organised media become increasingly important — which brings us to permalinks and the media library.
