To create a new blog post, follow these steps to add content and make use of the theme’s available features for an engaging layout.
- Go to Posts > Add New. This opens the editor where you can create and format your post.
- Enter a title for your post in the Title field at the top.
- Choose from available post formats (e.g., Gallery, Video, Quote) for special layouts.
- Select the desired style for the Post Format if available, such as Ken Burn for a Gallery or Feature Quote for a Quote.
- Choose a local post header style, or leave it set to Global to inherit the value from the customizer.
- In the Categories section on the right, select relevant categories or create new ones.
- In Tags, add keywords that help organize and improve the searchability of your post.
- Under Featured Image, click Set Featured Image. Upload an image or select one from the Media Library. This image will represent your post in blog lists and archives.
- Add an excerpt if you want snippets of your post to appear in certain post grids or archives.
- Create your content using the Block Editor or Elementor.
- When ready, click Publish.
- To schedule for a future date, choose Publish > Schedule and select a time.
For each post, you can also create a Post Review, Key Points, or a disclaimer. Let’s break down all these features individually.
