In this article we will explain how to add a new post in the CMS. This function is usually used for blog articles or news updates.
1. Adding a Post
To create a new post using the structure of an existing post, follow these steps:
- Login to the CMS and click on the “Posts” tab on the left hand side of your admin panel.
2. Now you should be able to see a list with all the posts that already exist on your website. Hover with your cursor on the one you would like to copy. A new menu will appear below of the post’s title. Click on the “Duplicate This” option.
3. A new post has been created that has exactly the same title with the one you chose to clone, but it’s been saved as a “Draft”. Click on the title of the draft post to edit its content.
4. When you open the new post firstly you have to type a new title.
Then you can start editing the existing text elements and use your new text.
5. After you have finished replacing the content of your post with the new one you have to choose a category for your post and an image that will be displayed on the posts slider.
These options are presented on the right side of your screen (see image).
6. When you are done with all the changes you can Preview your post and if you are happy with the result you can Publish it or just save it as a Draft.
In case you have a post slider (with the latest posts) on your website your post will be immediately visible after you publish it. Publish your post only when you are ready or else just save it as a Draft.
