WordPress: Publish a Post or Page


This article has not been updated recently and may contain dated material.


Publish Box

Contains buttons that control the state of your post.

The main states are Published, Pending Review, and Draft.

  • A Published status means the post has been published on your blog for all to see.
  • Pending Review means the draft is waiting for review by an editor prior to publication.
  • Draft means the post has not been published and remains a draft for you.
  • If you select a specific publish status and click the update post or Publish button, that status is applied to the post.
    • For example, to save a post in the Pending Review status, select Pending Review from the Publish Status drop-down box, and click Save As Pending. (You will see all posts organized by status by going to Posts > Edit). To schedule a post for publication on a future time or date, click "Edit" in the Publish area next to the words "Publish immediately".
    • You can also change the publish date to a date in the past to back-date posts. Change the settings to the desired time and date.
    • You must also hit the "Publish" button when you have completed the post to publish at the desired time and date.

Visibility - This determines how your post appears to the world.

  • Public posts will be visible by all website visitors once published.
  • Password Protected posts are published to all, but visitors must know the password to view the post content.
  • Private posts are visible only to you (and to other editors or admins within your site)
