Understanding the difference between posts and pages
WordPress has two main types of content, Posts and Pages. Understanding the similarities and differences between them, is important.
Posts are what you expect to see any time you visit a blog or a magazine or a news site. It’s those frequently updated items that appear at the top of the front page and also in indexes. Posts are easy to identify because the most recent posts always appears at the top and pushes the others posts down in a reverse chronological order. Posts are organized by date, author, categories, and tags and sometimes additional taxonomies, like post formats. Pages, on the other hand, are usually permanent information.About us pages, contact pages, Events. Pages are organized in parent-child relationships. The ability to create pages is/will be severely limited,
Depending on the access level assigned to a user, the ability to create, approve, edit, publish is controlled.
Our WordPress install has five different role levels, subscriber, contributor, author, editor, and administrator.
Subscribers: Visibility to post or pages that are published privately. No permissions to create posts
Contributor:. A contributor can create content, and submit said content for review. A contributor can see his/her own content and edit that content as long as it has not been published, once an editor or an administrator decides to publish the content the contributor can no longer edit it.
Author: An Author can create and publish her own content, but she can not edit anyone else’s content.
Editor: An editor can create and publish her own content, and edit other peoples content and publish that content.
Administrator: can control every feature of the site. Edit/Publish/Delete all post and pages on our site.
At this time all roles with the exception of Administrator have not yet been finalized.
