WordPress pages and posts serve distinct purposes and have some differences. Such as posts lists in a reverse chronological order on the home, category, and other archive pages and offer discussion and comments. Posts are sent to your subscribers, RSS feeds, allowing readers to engage in discussions, provide feedback, and share their thoughts. Posts are presented in am interactive way, allowing visitors to leave comments and have ability to reply to other comments.
Pages, on the other hand, typically do not have comment sections enabled by default. They are generally made to provide important static content such as About, Contact, Services, Location, Products, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, etc. Pages are meant to provide timeless information and form a stable structure for essential content on your website.
Whereas posts are typically used for dynamic and time-sensitive content, such as blog articles, news updates, or regular publications. Posts are arranged in reverse chronological order, with the latest post appearing at the top.
Pages are hierarchical, allowing you to create parent and child pages to establish a structured hierarchy, which is generally hidden and not shown on archive pages like posts.
Posts can be organized by categories and tags, that helps users to browse other posts on the same category or navigate easily by clicking category or tag link placed by you in the menu bar for browsing and filtering content based on specific topics.
Pages are displayed individually, their links can be placed in menu bar or anywhere you like. They serve specific information or work as standalone entities. On the other hand, posts are displayed in a blog roll format, multiple posts appear on a single page full or with a ‘Read More’ link. The format of posts is designed for easy consumption, allowing readers to scroll and browse older posts in the chronological sequence of content.
