Managing Posts

Navigate to Admin > Blog > Posts to see all blog posts. From here you can create, edit, view, and delete posts.

Creating a Post

Click Add new post to open the post editor. The editor has a two-column layout:

Main area (left):

  • Title (required) — The post headline.
  • Slug — The URL-friendly version of the title. Auto-generated from the title if left blank (e.g., "My First Post" becomes my-first-post).
  • Excerpt — A short summary of the post, displayed on index pages and in RSS feeds. Uses a rich text editor.
  • Content (required) — The full post body. Uses a rich text editor with support for formatting, links, images, and code snippets.

Sidebar (right):

  • Status — Draft, Pending Review, or Published (see Post Statuses below).
  • Publish Date — Optional date and time for when the post should go live. Used for scheduling future posts.
  • Category — Assign the post to a category.
  • Tags — Enter tags separated by commas. New tags are created automatically.
  • Featured Image — Select an image from the Omeka asset library to use as the post's featured/header image.
  • Visible on Sites — Choose which sites this post appears on (see Multi-Site Support).

Click Save when finished.
