The Dashboard Last Updated May 2025 The first page after logging in is the Dashboard screen. The Dashboard provides access to everything. The most important feature is the links to write Posts and Pages. You can also see recent activity on your site and in the WordPress community. Pages A Page is a tool to add content to a WordPress site and is often used to present “static” information about the site; Pages are typically “timeless” in nature. A good example of a Page is the information contained in “About” or “Contact” Pages. Learn how to create and edit Pages. Posts Posts, sometimes called “Blog Posts”, are the entries that display in reverse chronological order on your blog or News page. In contrast to pages, posts usually have comments fields beneath them and are included in your site’s RSS feed. Learn how to create and edit Posts. Menu Most of your options are in the left column menu. Learn about all the menu options. Additional Features More features and add-ons are available with widgets and plugins that can be enabled by your site administrator or the COFA Web team.
