How to create a WordPress post

In this tutorial we will cover how to create a WordPress post. First step is logging into your WordPress admin dashboard. Next you want to click on “Posts” in the menu. At the very top you will find a button called “Add new post” – click this button.

This is the content of your post. Type in a great post description to keep your readers interested. If you also want to keep SEO in mind try including your page title in the description as well as at least 500 words. If SEO has no matter to your post the length of this field is not important.

3: Select a category

If you already created some categories for your blog you can assign your post to one or multiple categories. Simply mark the categories with a checkmark. The post can after publishing be found in the categories that you have selected.

4: Add some tags

This is not required but if you like you can add tags to your post. Maybe you would like to have a tag cloud showing the most covered topics or just show the reader what they can expect of the post they are reading.

5: Featured image

Click on the “Add featured image” link to upload or select your image from the media library. Make sure the image is large enough to cover the single post page which often uses full width depending on the theme.

You are now ready to publish your post. Click the “Publish” button the make your post public.
