How to Write and Publish a New Post
Learn the correct process for creating posts, setting categories, and publishing content on your blog.
Writing articles is the best way to attract new visitors from Google. Even if your website is built with Elementor, you add articles through the built-in WordPress editor. This way, your new article automatically adopts the correct font, colors, and structure that we’ve already set up for you.
Create a New Article
To start writing, follow these steps:
- Log in to the WordPress admin panel.
- In the left-hand menu, go to Articles (Posts) and click on New Post (Add New Post).
- In the field that says “Add Title”, type the title of your article.
- Click right below here and start writing your text. You can press Enter to start a new paragraph.

Defining Image Categories and Attributes
Before you click "Publish," you must configure the right-hand column of the editor (make sure the tab at the top of the column is selected Article / Post):
- Categories: Find the category box and check the appropriate category (e.g.,. News, Blog, Special Offers). If it isn't there, you can click “Add a new category.”.
- Featured Image: This is the featured image that will appear on the blog page and when you share the article on social media. Scroll down in the right-hand column, then click on Set Featured Image, select or upload your photo, and tap "Save.".
Don't write your article as one long, continuous block of text. Break it up into sections. To add a subheading, click the icon “+” (Add block) To the left of the paragraph, select Heading and leave the selection at H2 or H3. This makes the article easy to read and much more Google-friendly.

Publication of the Article
When your article is ready:
- Click the button Publish in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- WordPress will ask you to confirm. Click again. Publication.
- Your article is now live! It will automatically appear at the top of your blog page without you having to do anything else.
At the top of the editor, you'll see a large button that says “Edit with Elementor”. Never use it for simple articles. If you edit a post using Elementor, the automatic link to the blog’s main template will be broken, the page will no longer follow the design, and if we change the site’s design in the future, the posts written with Elementor won’t be updated, causing technical issues.
