- One question you likely have right off the bat…is how to decide whether a post or a page…is the right content type for whatever you want to publish.…The answer to this will depend on…how your WordPress site is set up…and whether you're working with a standard installation…or have a larger site where you have more custom post types…and other content types.…In the case of a standard WordPress site,…you can often decide it by asking a simple question:…is this something people would share on social media?…If yes, it's probably a post.…
If no, it's probably a page.…But this social media test can often be hard to answer.…If that's the case, I've made a simple flowchart for you…to figure out whether this is a post or a page.…Does it belong on the main menu,…and if it does, is it stand-alone content…or in a parent/child relationship?…If both of these are true, you have a page.…If it doesn't belong on the main menu…and it's part of a stream of content, you have a post.…
