Möchten Sie mehr über den Unterschied zwischen Beiträgen und Seiten erfahren?
WordPress verfügt standardmäßig über zwei verschiedene Inhaltstypen: Beiträge und Seiten. Obwohl sie im WordPress-Dashboard ähnlich aussehen, dienen sie unterschiedlichen Zwecken für Ihre Website.
In diesem Artikel erklären wir den Unterschied zwischen Posts und Seiten in WordPress.
Das werden wir in unserem Artikel besprechen:
Was sind Beiträge in WordPress?
Beiträge werden verwendet, um Blog-Inhalte, Artikel und andere Inhalte zu erstellen, die auf Ihrer Blog-Seite aufgeführt werden. Sie werden in umgekehrter chronologischer Reihenfolge angezeigt, so dass der neueste Inhalt (Ihre neuesten Beiträge) ganz oben in der Liste erscheint.
Wenn Sie WordPress als Blog verwenden, werden Sie wahrscheinlich Beiträge für den Großteil des Inhalts Ihrer Website verwenden.
Sie können Ihre WordPress-Beiträge hinzufügen und bearbeiten, indem Sie auf die Menüoption „Beiträge“ in Ihrem Dashboard klicken. So sieht der WordPress-Beitragseditor aus.
Da die neuesten Beiträge ganz oben aufgelistet werden, sollen Ihre Beiträge zeitnah erscheinen. Die älteren Beiträge werden nach Monat und Jahr geordnet archiviert.
Wenn die Beiträge älter werden, müssen Ihre Besucher tiefer graben, um sie zu finden. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, Ihre Beiträge anhand von Kategorien und Tags zu organisieren, die das Taxonomiesystem von WordPress darstellen.
Wenn Sie viele Inhalte haben, können Sie ein Suchformular hinzufügen, um Ihren Besuchern das Auffinden der gesuchten Inhalte zu erleichtern. Weitere Details finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zum Erstellen eines benutzerdefinierten WordPress-Suchformulars.
Sie können Ihre neuen WordPress-Blog-Einträge ganz einfach mit Ihren Lesern teilen, um mehr Besucher zu erhalten. Sie können zum Beispiel einen E-Mail-Newsletter erstellen, automatische RSS-Feed-E-Mails versenden, Push-Benachrichtigungen senden und vieles mehr.
Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserem Leitfaden zur Freigabe von Blogbeiträgen für Leser.
Aufgrund ihrer Aktualität eignen sich Blogbeiträge auch hervorragend zum Teilen in sozialen Medien. Sie können Social-Media-Plugins verwenden, damit Ihre Nutzer Ihre Beiträge in den gängigen sozialen Netzwerken teilen können.
Blogbeiträge regen auch zu Gesprächen an. Sie verfügen über eine integrierte Kommentarfunktion, die es den Nutzern ermöglicht, sich zu einem bestimmten Thema zu äußern. Standardmäßig sind Kommentare, Pingbacks und Trackbacks aktiviert.
Nach dem Hauptinhalt des Artikels folgt der Kommentarbereich. Normalerweise deaktiviert WordPress die Kommentare auf Ihren Seiten.
Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie unter Einstellungen “ Diskussion die Kommentare zu älteren Beiträgen deaktivieren.
WordPress-Beiträge enthalten auch Beitrags-Metadaten. Diese Informationen werden nach dem Titel des Blogbeitrags in den einzelnen Beiträgen und auf Ihrer Blogseite aufgeführt.
In der Regel werden das Veröffentlichungsdatum, der Name des Autors, Kategorien, Tags und mehr angezeigt. Sie können die Metadaten Ihres Beitrags vollständig anpassen. Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserem Leitfaden zur Anzeige von Blogpost-Metadaten in WordPress-Themes.
Nachdem Sie nun wissen, was WordPress-Posts sind, wollen wir uns nun die Seiten ansehen und wie sie sich unterscheiden.
Was sind Seiten in WordPress?
Seiten sind statische „einmalige“ Inhalte wie die Seite „Über uns“, die Datenschutzrichtlinie, die Kontaktseite und andere. Während die WordPress-Datenbank das Veröffentlichungsdatum der Seite speichert, sind Seiten zeitlose Einheiten.
Ihre Info-Seite hat zum Beispiel kein Verfallsdatum. Sicher, Sie können zurückgehen und sie aktualisieren, aber die Chancen stehen gut, dass Sie keine Über-Seite 2012, Über-Seite 2013 usw. haben werden.
Wir haben alle Arten von statischen Seiten auf WPBeginner, wie z.B. unsere Homepage, die Seite „Start here „, die Seite „About“, die Kontaktseite, die Archivseite und benutzerdefinierte Seiten, wie z.B. unsere Seite für kostenlose Business-Tools.
Sie können Seiten in Ihrem WordPress-Administrationsbereich hinzufügen und bearbeiten, indem Sie auf die Menüoption „Seiten“ klicken.
So sieht der Bildschirm des Seiteneditors aus.
Seiten sind nicht für soziale Netzwerke gedacht, daher haben sie in der Regel keine Schaltflächen für die gemeinsame Nutzung. Zum Beispiel möchten Sie wahrscheinlich nicht, dass Besucher Ihre Seite mit den Datenschutzbestimmungen auf Twitter teilen.
Die Seiten enthalten auch keine Kommentare. Sie möchten nicht, dass die Nutzer Ihr Kontaktformular oder Ihre Nutzungsbedingungen kommentieren. Es gibt eine Option zum Aktivieren von Kommentaren. Sie ist jedoch standardmäßig für Ihre WordPress-Seiten deaktiviert.
Im Gegensatz zu Beiträgen sind Seiten von Natur aus hierarchisch aufgebaut. Sie können zum Beispiel Unterseiten oder untergeordnete Seiten innerhalb einer Seite haben.
Sie können eine Seite ganz einfach in eine Unterseite umwandeln, indem Sie bei der Bearbeitung einer Seite eine übergeordnete Seite aus dem Abschnitt „Seitenattribute“ auswählen.
Außerdem können Sie mit Hilfe eines Plugins für den WordPress-Seitenaufbau per Drag-and-Drop völlig individuelle WordPress-Seiten erstellen.
Auf diese Weise können Sie andere Seitenlayouts als die von WordPress bereitgestellte Standardoption verwenden.
Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zum Erstellen einer benutzerdefinierten Seite in WordPress.
WordPress-Seiten vs. Beiträge (Hauptunterschiede)
Ein Beitrag ist für Inhalte gedacht, die Sie regelmäßig veröffentlichen, wie Blogbeiträge und Nachrichtenartikel. Eine Seite hingegen ist für statische Inhalte gedacht, die nicht so häufig aktualisiert werden, wie z. B. eine Homepage, eine Info-Seite, eine Kontaktseite usw.
Hier sind weitere wichtige Unterschiede zwischen Beiträgen und Seiten in WordPress:
- Die Beiträge sind zeitgemäß, die Seiten zeitlos.
- Beiträge sind dazu gedacht, in sozialen Medien geteilt zu werden, Seiten hingegen nicht.
- Sie können Kategorien und Tags verwenden, um Beiträge zu organisieren, während Seiten hierarchisch und als untergeordnete und übergeordnete Seiten organisiert sind.
- Beiträge haben einen Autor und ein Veröffentlichungsdatum, während Seiten dies nicht haben.
Die oben aufgeführten Unterschiede können Ausnahmen sein. Sie können WordPress-Plugins verwenden, um die Funktionalität beider Inhaltstypen zu erweitern.
Trotz dieser Unterschiede gibt es einige Ähnlichkeiten zwischen Seiten und Beiträgen in WordPress.
Erstens werden beide für die Veröffentlichung von Inhalten verwendet. Sie können sowohl zu Beiträgen als auch zu Seiten Text, Bilder, Videos, Formulare und mehr hinzufügen. Sowohl auf Seiten als auch in Beiträgen gibt es Unterstützung für Bilder.
Sie können eine WordPress-Website erstellen, ohne jemals Posts oder die Blogging-Funktionen von WordPress zu verwenden. Sie können auch eine kleine Unternehmenswebsite mit Seiten und einem separaten Blog-Bereich für Ihre Nachrichten, Ankündigungen und andere Artikel erstellen.
Beiträge vs. Seiten: Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQs)
Nachfolgend finden Sie einige der am häufigsten gestellten Fragen, die wir von unseren Nutzern über Posts und Seiten und deren richtige Verwendung in WordPress gehört haben.
Wie viele Beiträge und/oder Seiten kann ich in WordPress haben?
Sie können so viele Beiträge und/oder Seiten erstellen, wie Sie möchten. Es gibt keine Begrenzung für die Anzahl der Beiträge oder Seiten, die erstellt werden können.
Gibt es irgendwelche SEO-Vorteile für Beiträge im Vergleich zu Seiten?
Nicht ganz. Im Allgemeinen mögen Suchmaschinen immergrüne Inhalte, die organisiert und aktuell sind. Es gibt auch Tools wie AIOSEO, die Ihnen dabei helfen, sowohl Blogbeiträge als auch Seiten zu optimieren, damit beide auf den Ergebnisseiten der Suchmaschinen erscheinen können.
Alles in allem empfehlen wir, Ihre Bemühungen darauf zu konzentrieren, Ihre Website benutzerfreundlich und für Ihre Zielgruppe wertvoll zu gestalten. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in unserem ultimativen WordPress-SEO-Leitfaden für Anfänger.
Ist das Hinzufügen von Seiten ähnlich wie das Hinzufügen von Beiträgen in WordPress?
Ja. Das Menü zum Hinzufügen von Seiten und Beiträgen in WordPress ist zwar getrennt, aber der Prozess zum Erstellen eines neuen Beitrags und einer neuen Seite ist ähnlich.
Für Seiten können Sie im WordPress-Verwaltungsbereich auf Seiten „ Neu hinzufügen gehen. In der Zwischenzeit können Sie einen neuen Beitrag erstellen, indem Sie auf Beiträge “ Neu hinzufügen gehen. In beiden Fällen werden Sie dann zum Gutenberg-Editor weitergeleitet, um Ihre Inhaltsblöcke hinzuzufügen.
Welche Seiten sollte ich auf meiner Website oder meinem Blog erstellen?
Das hängt davon ab, welche Art von Blog oder WordPress-Website Sie erstellen. Sie können sich aber auch unsere Liste der wichtigen Seiten für alle Websites ansehen.
Kann ich Beiträge in Seiten umwandeln und umgekehrt?
Viele Anfänger fügen versehentlich Inhalte zu Beiträgen hinzu, wenn sie Seiten erstellen wollen. Ebenso kann es vorkommen, dass neue Blogger ihre Blogbeiträge als Seiten speichern.
Wenn Sie gerade erst anfangen, können Sie das mit dem Plugin Post Type Switcher leicht beheben. Weitere Details finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zum Wechseln von Beitragstypen in WordPress.
Gibt es neben Beiträgen und Seiten noch andere Inhaltstypen in WordPress?
Ja, die gibt es. Zu diesen anderen Standardinhaltstypen gehören Anhänge, Revisionen und Navigationsmenüs. Sie werden jedoch nicht auf dieselbe Weise verwendet wie Beiträge und Seiten.
Mit WordPress können Sie auch Ihre eigenen benutzerdefinierten Beitragstypen erstellen. Diese Funktion wird von Plugins genutzt, um zusätzliche Inhaltstypen in WordPress zu erstellen.
Wenn Sie beispielsweise ein Online-Geschäft mit WooCommerce betreiben, sehen Sie in Ihrem WordPress-Verwaltungsbereich den Beitragstyp „Produkte“.
Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserer Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung zum Erstellen benutzerdefinierter Beitragstypen in WordPress.
Wir hoffen, dass dieser Artikel Ihnen geholfen hat, den Unterschied zwischen Seiten und Beiträgen in WordPress zu verstehen und zu verstehen, wie man sie verwendet.

I believe I am correct in saying that you use pages here?
Surely most websites supporting a business or running as a business would be pages?
For a news site I can understand posts – but should these all be in one root folder or divided into years?
Do having years, just shout WordPress to anyone browsing?
WPBeginner Support says
We use posts for most of our content on this site and have a few pages. You do not need to worry about placing the posts into folders as posts are automatically set in chronological order.

So with a worpress post, I can create as many blogs/articles I want that will be available to be viewed to the public without having to purchase new domains?
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, there is not a cost to create a post on WordPress unless you have enough posts that you are running out of server space on your hosting provider in which case you would want to look to upgrade your hosting

Hi,
I have a website that provides users some tools like json to xml convertor, random name generator etc. so is it good to have them inside a page or posts?

For static content and tools like that, we would normally recommend placing them on a page.

hey, I have a question that for blogging what is needed a post or page ? and do ever website who have about us is a page or it can be a blog too?
WPBeginner Support says
Most blogs use posts instead of pages for most of their content and for a majority of sites the about us would be a page but there’s nothing wrong with testing if having it as a post works for your site.
Admin
Tuomas says
Hello,
Thank you for this guide. I have made such „mistake“ on our business website that I have created my blog archive just as a normal page and same with our blog posts: pages instead of posts. As changing this would demand a lot of work, I’m probably not going to change this. Would you happen to know, how I can create an RSS feed for pages instead of posts?
WPBeginner Support says
To make swapping easier, you may want to try the recommended plugin in our article below:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-convert-post-types/
We do not have a recommended method for RSS for pages at the moment.

Great Information.
I am using newspaper theme and for some reason my Page posts are totally different than the default blog posts template. What could be the reason?

Your theme may have specific styling for the different pages/posts. You would want to check with your theme’s support to see if that is the reason.

What about where a page is generally the same but your content may vary 100s of times (Like recipees or products in a shop like Amazon for example) It’s not a static page and yet it’s not a post, it’s something in between
WPBeginner Support says
It sounds like you mean custom post types which we cover in our glossary here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/post-types/
Admin

Great stuff. Just starting out with WP and this is exactly what I need. Many useful links to other, equally useful, posts (or are they pages? – only kidding). Really useful site – I have emailed myself the URL. Many thanks – please keep up the good work.
PS – never left comments on a WP site before – so interested in seeing how this works.

Hello, will I be able to use a website as both a blog and a ‚website‘ simultaneously?
I mean, if I would use pages and posts on a website, simultaneously…
WPBeginner Support says
You can certainly use those features together. We have an article that should help clear up some confusion here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-is-a-blog-and-how-is-it-different-from-a-website-explained/

PRODUCT PAGE: POSTS OR PAGES?
WPBeginner Support says
That varies from one plugin to another, it is normally a page listing a custom post type if I understand what you’re asking correctly.
Admin
joljols says
I was wondering if the articles on wpbeginner are posts or pages as they have a page-like url but most features of a blog post. Also, many of the articles are often updated over time to keep the contents of the article up to date. How do you deal with those updates and making sure readers know about them? The reason I am asking is because I am also writing a list of articles with coding tips/tutorials and am wondering if I should write them as posts or pages on my wordpress site. I hope you can give me advice!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi,
We use posts to publish most of our articles.
Admin
Charles says
Doesn’t that mean, we should always use Pages if we want a unique design for the mega content we are going to create?
Otherwise, post seems to have a lot of limitation of how the overall content visual to be structured.
Stephanie says
I have to translate my content across multiple languages – so my current blog is being housed in pages vs posts. If I move my blog over to posts – can i translate that out?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Stephanie,
You can translate your WordPress content by using a WordPress multilingual plugin.

Bruce says
Hello and thanks for the great site. I’ve been running some WP sites for a few years and I always come to WPBeginner for quality and concise information.
The sites I’ve built have been fine with static pages but one client (my wife) wants to add a blog to her martial arts site.
How do we make something that looks like the blog page on this site?
I understand how to create the post, and can add it to a menu, but do not know how to make a page with the chronological list of posts.
Is this a feature of the specific theme? I am using Genesis and Responsive.
Thanks again, I’m sure there’s an obvious solution that I’m overlooking.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Bruce,
Please see our guide on how to create a separate page for blog posts in WordPress.
Admin
Cherian says
I’m not sure i was doing wrong. Please help.
On my website, im publishing the same topic as Post and page (So two URLs has same topic, 1 page and 1 posts).
Any issues on that? or do i need to remove one of them? Thanks.
Denish Callos says
Hi,
I have been using wordpress for web development for a while now. I am starting a new tutorial site in wordpress. I am confused in writing tutorials as pages or posts. Number of tutorials wil be huge. So should i publish tutorials as posts or pages.(please suggest me on this). And how do i include category name in permalink of pages
Suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Riana says
I have a smiliar question. Waiting for this to be answered.
Seems like no one has answered you yet so I’ll make my own decision based on the article.
I would like each of my tutorials to be shared on social media and accept comments which would lead me to posts instead of pages.
However, my tutorials cover many different themes and I feel like having a category list to the side with 5 billion different links will be a bit much. I also don’t like that they will be time and date stamped because they really aren’t blog posts but permanent pages on my site that most likely will never be changed or replicated.
I guess I’ll just suck it up and go with posts.
Pogo says
I say definitely use posts, and I’m almost certain that you can fill pages with certain types of posts to categorize them using the hierarchy of pages.
Zachary says
Use a custom post type. Setup a custom post type for your Tutorials, specifically. That is the best setup, as it is clean and keeps your blog posts sepearate. Pages are absolutely inferior in this use case, and most use cases. A good plugin for this is CPT UI (free). That mixed with Advanced Custom Fields offers an incredible amount of customization and efficiency if used correctly.
As for the many category issue. I recommend reading some guides on categories/tags. Ideally, your categories should be few and broad, while your tags are many. With ACF you can create new „category“ type lists if needed, often not needed though.
You can also depend on sub-categories a lot. Having very broad parent categories, with their many child categories beneath. Show the user only the child categories for their selected main category and they won’t have a large list to deal with. When they see the initial tutorial page you show them the parent categories only. There are many ways of achieving a user-friendly design through this.
Susan Cunningham says
I’m building a website with more or less timeless content. Definitely not a blog with dates, etc.. So I could dispense with Posts altogether? I have put Pages on the top running menu bar. Each Page will have a bunch of sub-pages and those can have sub-pages (grandchild pages?). Which will also dictate the URLs, right? From the reply to the previous question, I gather the downside to that is that Pages can’t be labeled with categories? Downside of using Posts,however, is that they can’t be grouped and sub-grouped under a Page?
In the past few days I’ve been wondering if those general content descriptors on the menu bar should be categories instead of Pages. This reply to the previous question seems to point in that direction: „Another way to do that is by creating templates for your categories.“ But no … I’m going to have a mammoth informational/magazine type site and that would extremely limit the number of categories, seems to me. Maybe that wouldn’t matter if the number of tags was kept limited, however.
I’m not totally new to WordPress, since I use Wordpess.com for a simple personal portfolio type site. So category name(s) will appear–usually on the top left corner–of a post. But they won’t appear at all on a Page?
Whew! Sorry to sound so confusing. (Well, obviously, I’m confused!). Can you just answer the first question: Can I dispense with Posts altogether? What are the disadvantages and advantages of that?
I can’t be the first person with this question in mind. Thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Susan,
You can dispense posts altogether and use pages with child pages to organize your site’s structure. You can add categories and tags to pages, if you want.
Admin
Terry Yarham says
From my static home page, there are blog post categories in the menu across the top. Can I pin content to the top of the category archive page? Regular pinning isn’t working for that.
I have a lifestyle blog for my city. When someone goes to a category from the top menu (food, drink, shopping, etc.) I want them to see a short description (that will always be at the top), then see the blog posts that fall into that category as they scroll down.
Is there a way to do that? I’m using the Bento theme.
I’m game to change the categories across the top to pages so the content I want to always be seen would be there, but would I be able to get the posts to show up underneath?
Thanks for any help I can get.
WPBeginner Support says
Hey Terry,
There are multiple ways to do that. For example, you can add the content you want to be displayed as category descriptions. Another way to do that is by creating templates for your categories. You can add them by simply naming the file category-{category-slug}.php like category-news.php.

Admin
Bastian says
I wonder how to organize content like episode guides for a TV show (that has been broadcasted years ago) with a kind of scientific interpretation of it. I think it’s very much timeless content, since it’s no actual show anymore and I don’t want to have comments on it. It should be the definitive article on the net to the subject.
So, should I write my big episode guide with plot and interpretation as a page and just put a post on my blog like „new episode guide for show – episode x season y“ with a link to the page?
I have to admit it was hard to decide against a wiki because I don’t think I have timely content. But a blog seems to be more like a reflection of my personal opinion and more conversational and entertaining than a „dry“ wiki text.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Bastian,
There are plenty of ways to organize this in WordPress. For example, you can Use categories for each season, and create a new post for each episode in that season.
You can use tags to assign different characters, topics, and themes that came up during that particular episode.
You can also create a custom post type.
Admin
Bastian says
Thank you very much. Sounds interesting.
Somehow I think it just doesn’t feel right to use pages for articles. All the fine features like widgets, sharing etc. have to be added through plugins while posts have it all embedded. ATM I tend to use posts, because it just feels right. It feels like the way, WordPress should be used.
What I like on Pages in a strange way is, that all these distractions like widgets, sharing etc. are missing. The content area is wider (in my current theme), so for now: I start using posts but not sure if it will always stay this way. I will just have an open mind and keep experimenting. Time will tell.
Sam Victor says
Hi all,
I just understand the difference between the page and posts.
Thanks buddy.

What is the difference between COMMENT AND POST in WordPress?Please help.
Roy Randolph says
A Comment is the discussion thread that you can (if you wish) have for a page or a post. In other words you are commenting on a Blog „Post“ for an example. Basically the same thing you are doing now, you are commenting by asking a question. Hope that helps.
Ray Foucher says
I’m new to WP, have just started a WP site and have a top menu link „Articles“ which will link to a page listing all my articles (static content) with short descriptions of each and links to an individual page for each article.
The person hosting my site insists posts are the way to go rather than pages. I am used to using HTML for other sites and have no problem with building the links. I like the idea of being able to have my own descriptions and order for the articles list and fail to see the advantages of posts for this. Any insights?
If I used posts I belief I could assign them to an articles category to keep them together but could I then arrange them in my preferred order and write or change my own descriptions?
janz says
I have started to write on Pages. How do I link one page to the next in chronological order on each Page published? For example, in posts, there is a link to the previous and the next post. I cannot find this in Pages. Can you help please?

hi, i am developing a holiday site and using wordpress. i am having property style pages and then also looking at having category pages (hotels, cottages, campsites). i have been considering the following format:
property pages as custom post types
category pages with ability to insert category lists (so can format a little more)
i was just wondering as seo is absolutely critical for this project to work would i be better to do the property pages as „pages“ and if so is it possible to add any kind of taxonomy to a page so that i can pull them through to a category page?
thanks

Please be so kind to help me invert the order of appearance of new sections in a page – I want new sections to appear on top, not on the bottom of the page. Many thanks in advance!
Ian Player says
Thanks for a very interesting article. It would be *really* helpful too to hear the reasons as to why you chose to write this article as a Post rather than a Page. Thanks!
Mikey says
What a great point! This is very much timeless or „evergreen“ content.
I suppose the main reason for publishing it as a Post is that the author wants us to share it! As I have just done on Twitter.
John Morris says
If I read the article correctly you wanted to receive comments and posts enable that more easily than pages. Also this content may change as new releases alter functionality. Just a thought
Pat says
This is a useful and very clear post. But it doesn’t address the one issue about posts and pages that is really confusing me, as a WP newbie. If I wish to add products to a WP site, should they be added as Pages or Posts? In my case, the Products in question are books by various authors. If I list them as Posts then website visitors can use Categories to filter them by Author. However I cannot see how to add Author photo and biographical info to the same result page. And if I list then as Pages (so that I can have a section with Author photo and biographical note, etc, I cannot see how to generate and filter (through Categories) the results so that X Author’s page will show only X author’s books. I have even tried a number of dedicated book and ecommerce themes, but none of them seems to provide for what I thought would be a basic ingredient. Am I missing something? Thanks in any case for the good work!
