Articles and pages basics

When you open the "content" page, you'll see several types of contents :

• Published, Sticky and Folders
• Static
• Draft, Scheduled and autosaves

Each have a specific role. Pages can be treated as a regular page or a post (blog post). In the end, the concept of page is just a name, and you have different setting to adjust pages to your needs.

Published, sticky and folders

First, you have the page that can be seen as the main posts of your blog/page of your websites : published and sticky posts. Theses pages can be ordered by date or by position. For example, if you are interested in creating a blog, you can order the pages by date. If you are interested in creating a website with the pages in a specific order, you can order the pages by position. On the main content admin panel, published content can be filtered by category to find more easily your articles.

Sticky pages are the same as a normal/published page, but appear before all other published pages on the home page. To create this kind of page, while you are creating the content, go to the Options panel, and select the type Type > Sticky. Depending of your theme, you can change different option in the settings to show how they're handled :

• Settings > General > Advanced > Hide sticky page on homepage to not show the sticky pages in the main feed (which allow you to have a separate feed for sticky article)
• Settings > General > Advanced > Show sticky page first to show or not sticky page before all the other in the main feed (for the same kind of usecase)

In addition, when you add children pages to a page, it can be treated as a folder which can be used to write a novel, create an investigation with several articles. Children pages can be shown with a shortcode in the article body. You can hide folder pages inside the tags in the setting with Settings > General > Advanced > Hide folder in home page if you perfer to use folders like some kind of taxonomy.

Koblog orders the pages by date by default, but you can change this from the settings by going to Settings > General > Advanced > Order content by.

Static pages

Static pages are set to not appear on the homepage; these pages are still published, and can be accessed via the URL. These kind of pages are useful for pages such as About, Terms and conditions, Privacy, or Contact us. Themes will generally show links to these pages at the top of your site. These pages will often have less metadata shown. These pages are often more usefull in blogs/magazines types of websites, because the fact they're static is more distinctive in this kind of website.

To create this kind of page, while you are creating the content, go to the Options panel, and select the type Type > Static. You can hide static pages inside the tags in the setting with Settings > General > Advanced > Hide static page in tags

Draft & Scheduled

Draft and scheduled pages are pages that aren't visible directly to the public.

Draft pages allow the user to create content without publishing it until it's ready. Draft pages are only accessible via the administration panel. To set a page as a draft, click the 'Draft' button instead of the Save button.

Scheduled pages are not published until a time and date set by the user. You can schedule a page to publish itself in the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. To select the date, go to the Options tab and set a future date in the Date field while you are creating the content.
