There are 3 ways to add a new post: from the main dashboard, from the Toolbar at the top and from the Post menu in the left sidebar. From the main admin dashboard, you can use the Quick Draft feature on the right to quickly add a Title and Body Text to a post. From the Toolbar, you can hover over the plus sign (“+ New”) and choose Post; this will take you to the Add New Post screen.


From the left sidebar:
  1. Hover over Posts in the left sidebar menu. A secondary menu comes out to the right. Click Add New.
  2. Give the post a title.
  3. Write or paste the body text of your post in the Body section below the Title.
  4. In the right sidebar under Categories, choose the appropriate category.
  5. (Optional) Add a featured image in the Featured Image section. You can upload a new image or choose something from the Media Library.
  6. (Optional) Add tags to the post.
  7. Click Publish, located above the Categories section.
