Post Vs Page

Beware When To Use A Page and When A Post

I often see people using a post when it is more convenient to create a page and vice versa. What is the difference?

Post

I use Posts to share news or information. This is called a blog. A post is automatically displayed by date on my posts page by WordPress sorted by date with the latest post first. I can also adapt this on another page and choose another format to display my blogs, for example by topic. 

Page

I create a page for standard text that is about my company, myself, subject, etc. A good example of page is the about page. The about page tells general information about me.

Differ

Here are the differences between post and page:

• A page is static

• A page is important for general information about for example my organization or myself

• A page is not displayed by date

• A post has tags (trefwoorden)

• A post has categories (topics/onderwerpen)

• A post is listed by date on blog page with newest first (most of the time)

• I can view an archive of posts

• Posts can be sorted by categories

• Post can be sorted by tags

• Pages are displayed in menus. Post can also be displayed in menus, but are usally not.
