It really depends on the nature of your content and what you’re trying to accomplish. Pages are typically used for static content that doesn’t change much, including pages that are prominently featured on site-wide navigation (contact, about, support, etc.). If you’re using WordPress as a CMS system for a regular website as opposed to a blog, then chances are most of your content will be pages.

If, on the other hand, your content is more blog-like — you need the most current article displayed first, or you want to organize by categories and tags — then posts are the way to go.

Hi I started using pages for a wordpress site I help run. I haven’t used posts before but I’m coming round to the idea that it might be best to create 301 redirects for article pages linking them to posts instead.

In part this is due to being able to do more with posts… do you think this is a good idea – are there any benefits to having posts instead of pages?

thanks

This video is a few years old but still very portent today as the day it was made!

I have about 10 blogs now and was still battling between posts and pages…and this video just nailed it for me.

I’m always looking for ways to drive traffic freely to my sites, and rss has afforded me that opportunity, and now that I’m fully versed in the attributes of pages and posts, guess it’s time to leave the pages to cool off a bit.

Thanks for this awesome and easy to follow view presentation.

I’m using WordPress for the first time on a couple of upcoming projects.

This video is a great start, and has confirmed that I have made the right choice by choosing WordPress.

Looking forward to the next ones on the list.
