Pages vs. Posts

Largo follows the WordPress way of creating content, which consists of two basic things:

• Posts - which like a regular blog post appear in reverse chronological order on your homepage
• Pages -which live outside the blog chronology

Posts are for news stories, commentaries, and other time-based articles. Pages are for timeless content like your "About" or "Contact Us" pages.

Pages can be organized  by  a hierarchy of parent pages and child pages. For example, you might have a parent About page, with child pages for Staff List, Corporate Information, a Board of Directors page, Reprint Permissions, etc. In this case, the About page would have  a URL   of  http://yoursite.org/about ,  and your Staff List page would  be  http://yoursite.org/about/staff-list .

You could then add About to the main navigation menu as the parent and the child pages as drop-down menu items under it.

Beyond the above differences between Pages and Posts, creating and editing Pages is very much like it is for Posts. To create a new Page, click on Pages > Add New or the New link at the top of the dashboard and select Page.

Like Posts, Pages have a Title and a Body Text field. You can add media and Featured Media in the same way as Posts, and save a Page as a Draft as needed. By default Categories and Tags are not enabled for Pages.

Page Templates and Sidebars

In Largo, the default template for Pages uses a single column layout. If you need a wider page layout for embedded interactives, maps, etc., you can select the Full-Width Page template to display the content in a wider single column. (See the Embedding Interactives page for more on this.)

You can also use the Two Column (Classic) template and select a custom sidebar in the Page's Layout Options panel:

Site administrators can create custom sidebars with appropriate content for a given page, or set of pages, then you can use them as needed.
