Last updated on Dec 25, 2023

Write and publish your articles via our Articles App! Just go to the Dashboard and click on the ‘Articles’ icon to get started.

The Articles App is divided into three main sections: Articles, Categories, and Feeds.

The main page allows you to create and publish new articles and view your articles according to their published/another status, category, and date/ordering. When you hover over the article, the edit, duplicate, view or delete icons will appear.

!Note: You can publish up to 5 articles on the Free Website plan. As Articles App is a pro feature and not available on the Free plan, you will need to navigate to Dashboard→ Pages App and create an Article type of page to add your articles to your website. The articles will appear as a default part of that page.

Creating Your Article

Located in the 'Articles' app's top right corner is the 'New Article' button. Click on it to fill out the title, introductory text, and full article text.

Located on the right side is a panel. Click on the blue button at the top to 'Publish Now,' 'Save as Draft,' or 'Schedule the article.' The panel features the following subsections: Featured, Basic, Images, Sharing & Comments, and SEO.

Basic
