|  How do I add each post to its own separate page in Wordpress?
1. Is having more pages on your Wordpress blog better for SEO? 2. The Wordpress blogs that I built have all of the posts on one page which is the main homepage. So my entire site itself is only 1 page. Is it better to put each individual post on a separate page so I have more pages? 3. If so, can someone please explain very specifically in great detail, step by step how I would put each post on its own page in Wordpress so each post has its own separate page and so I do this correctly? I am not referring to the about us, privacy, TOS and I know how to create those to make more pages if I want. I am only referring to making more pages and each post having its own separate page so when i look in yahoo site explorer it says I have more than 1 page and these extra pages are composed of my blog postings. Thank you. |

Hello... It's better to add more posts and change the html code with different keywords, this will help your posts rank for each keyword and each post. Just paste your posts to the post section of wordpress instead of adding it to the page. You want your html to end with your site.com/your-keyword-here-html or whatever. |

Wordpress should automatically create a new page for each post you can adjust the link options to be the title instead of a # which may help. Each post should link to it's own page on it's own How many posts do you have? |

Agree with Shawn. Wordpress creates a new page for every post you create. Simon |

Ways to avoid this is use the 'more' tag in the post. Also you can use an seo plugin to stop indexing of dupe content by the search engines. Cheers. | |

| Re: How do I add each post to its own separate page in Wordpress?
I have 4 posts. So I guess if it does not matter, maybe I will just leave everything as is with all of my posts on the homepage. I forgot to mention, I built them all using wordpress direct, however, the admin area is the same as regular wordpress and that is where I was inquiring about adding more pages. Im not sure if wordpress direct automatically creates a new page for each post like real wordpress does, or if it does, its just not showing up yet in yahoo site explorer that my site is more than one page probably because the site is so new? Thanks for the replies everyone. WF is awesome!! Quote:

I agree with my fellow warriors and especially would endorse what Ademmeda said in his reply. The thing is that if you just have one page (Home or whatever) and one category where you post everything then where's the opportunity to distiguish and differentiate your message. You speak of SEO so therefore I assume that you are concerned about ranking (for something(s)) rather than just blogging about your pet goldfish. Here's a simple suggestion: Create a category named "Articles" or "Posts" and have it as the main category (this will virtually replace the "Uncategorzied" category which by default will hold all your posts unless you have at least one other category that you can assign posts to). Then you can have subcategories such as "Tropical Goldfish", "Goldfish Foods", "Goldfish tanks", "Goldfish Care" etc. Now when you write a new post on any particular topic (that you will assumedly be linking to keywords so that you can rank for that post) you would assign it to one of your selected categories and ALSO assigned to the "Articles" master category. That way,.. every single one of your posts/articles can appear on one general page which can be your homepage or another page named "Articles" (which would be a redirect of your "/category/articles/" category so that they open up under a page from the pages menu bar). I've got this set up over on my blog at RussRave.com and it works very well. I hope this helps. Cheers,.. Russ | |

In Wordpress you can have "posts" and "pages". By default your "home page" is a sheet with all your posts on. Each post has it's own sheet, which is accessed by clicking on the post heading. If you want to use pages, which are displayed on the page menu bar, then you need to click on "Add new" under PAGES not under posts. Why not use both? For articles/content that you want to appear in the menu bar and which is unlikely to change, use a PAGE. For articles/content that is more of a diary type use POSTS. Carol |

Now, to be technically correct... WP doesn't create any kind of (web)pages as in files  Although, it can give you the impression that it does. What really happens, you can make 2 kind of entries: posts and Pages (in the WP docs you will always find it with capital P) - they both are stored in the database and they are shown through one of the templates of your theme. Posts are presented/displayed in a) multi-post view: index, archives, categories, serach (the number of posts shown on these "views" can be set in Settings > Reading) b) single post view Pages are always presented/displayed in single Page view. So, to answer the OP: every post in WP can be viewed on its own "page" - in WP is called 'single post view', you can get there just by clicking on any post's title. |
