Writing a Post
The editor's tabs, the title and its length limits, and where each field lives.
Open Posts, choose the post type, and select Create Post, or open an existing post to edit it. The editor is a page of its own, and the section menu stays beside it.
The editor’s tabs
| Tab | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Content | Write and edit the story itself. |
| Details | The title, metadata, search-engine fields and media. |
| Gallery | The media gallery for the post. |
| Links | The post’s canonical link and its short link. Save the post first. |
Which fields appear, and which are required, is set per post type by your administrator, so two post types can show different fields.
The title
A live counter beside the title shows its length against the limit, for example
64 of 120 characters. Some post types also have a minimum, shown while the title is shorter.
If the title is over the limit or under the minimum, the post cannot be saved until you fix it. The title box never cuts a pasted headline: it is up to you to shorten it.
The summary
The summary is usually on the Details tab. On some post types your administrator has moved it to the Content tab, above the body, so you write it next to the story.
Tags
Each tag in the tags field is a link: open it to see the other posts that carry the same tag.
Word count and reading time
The editor shows the word count and an estimated reading time as you write.
