Common questions

What’s the difference between a post and a page?
Posts are news, listed on your Blog newest first. Pages are for things that don’t change much, like your rules, a code of conduct or an about page. Choose Page under Type for those.
How do I put a page in my site’s menu?
Publish the page first. Then go to Website › Menus & links, click Add item under Navigation menu, choose A page on your site and pick it.
Can I save without publishing?
Yes. Click Save draft. Fans can’t see drafts, and once a draft is saved it keeps saving as you type. Find it later under Drafts in Pages & posts.
How do I change a post after publishing?
Open it from Pages & posts and make your changes. Fans keep seeing the published version until you click Publish changes; Discard throws your changes away.
How do I take a post down?
In the editor, open ··· (More page actions). Unpublish… turns it back into a draft you can publish again. Delete page… removes it for good.
Can I add photos inside the post?
Yes. Click the Image button in the toolbar and paste the address of a photo, for example one from Website › Media › Download.
