Before diving into content creation, it’s important to understand the difference between pages and posts in WordPress when using the DigiFusion theme.
Posts are typically used for:
- Blog articles and news updates
- Time-sensitive content
- Content that will be categorized and tagged
- Content that appears in your blog feed
Pages are typically used for:
- Static content like About, Contact, Services
- Timeless information
- Content that doesn’t need categories or tags
- Landing pages and standalone content
