- On the left panel, click on “Post” → “Add New.“
2. This will open the WordPress (WP) block editor, where you input content/information about the post, such as title, body paragraph, keywords, etc. Follow the instruction under each block to fill in the correct information.
3. To add image or other elements such as pull quote, list, etc., click on the plus sign at the end of the block or the plus sign at the top left corner of the page to bring up the blocks menu. Select the block element you would like to add.
4. After you are done editing your post, go to the post panel on the right and go down to “Categories” to select the page your post will be published on. Select the proper category for your post.
