Hello friends! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through how to create a post in wordpress. We have already familiarized ourselves with WordPress, installed it on our combat sites.

How to add a new post in WordPress?
To add a new entry, follow the instructions:
1. Log in to the admin panel.
2. Move the mouse over the "Records" menu item.
3. Next, click on "Add new". see image below:
4. Enter the desired title for the entry.
5. We write the desired text.
6. Click on the "Publish" button. see picture below:
Great! You have created your first post, congratulations.
Please note that it is not necessary to publish a record right away; you can save it (by clicking on the "Save" button). Thus, the entry will be added to drafts. Also, you can specify the category of the post, the necessary tags and attach an image to the post. All these actions are performed in the right sidebar. see image below:
Scheduled (Delayed) Posting in WordPress
In WordPress, you can specify the date and time of publication, so the created post will be automatically published at the specified time. To create a delayed post in WordPress, follow these steps:
- Opposite the "Publish" button, click on "Edit".
- Enter the desired date and time, click OK.
- Instead of the "Publish" button, there should be a "Schedule" button. Click on it.
In the case of correctly performed actions, the entry will be published at the time you specified. This is a good practice when you need to gradually publish posts. And also, influence the search bot. If you update all your posts in this way, the bot will begin to actively crawl your content on the new one.
Changing the Gutenberg editor to the classic WordPress editor
If you are a beginner and have just started to master the WordPress CMS, you may find it convenient to work in a block editor format. I'm more used to using the classic editor. It is in my opinion simple and not as confusing as the Gutenberg editor. To change the editor to classic, do the following:
1. Install the Classic Editor plugin.
2. Activate this plugin.
3. Hover your mouse over "Settings".
4. Click on the menu item "Writing".
5. In the window that opens where: the default editor for all users, check the item "Classic editor".
Great! Now editing posts and pages will take place in the classic editor. Note that you can also check the box "Allow users to change editor". This will be a good practice if there are several authors on your site, perhaps some of them will be more comfortable working in a block editor.
