Editing a post
In chapter 2 The Basics we will explain how the add and edit a post per post type, so you have an idea of the differences between the post types. Editing a page is different then the other post types because a page can have a layout attached to it. Based on the layout you will have other fields to fill in.
Post overview and editing a single post
When you go the the Admin of your website and click on one of the post type menu items in the Admin menu, you will see an overview of all posts in this post type. For instance when you click on Activities a table with the 6 activities is shown. in the Admin menu you can see a sub menu under Activities showing extra menu items. In the case of Activities you see two extra options, Add activity and Sort view. Some other post types also have categories, these will also be listed in this submenu.
In the post overview you can click on a post to open and edit the specific post. When you hover an item you also see some extra edit options appearing right under the post title. This gives you the option to edit, quick edit and view a post. Edit will lead you to the edit post page. With quick edit an inline editor is shown to edit the most important fields like the Title of the post. With View you will go to the front end of the post. Some roles will also see the option Bin, which gives you the option to delete a page.
Use the delete option with caution. Content is never deleted immediately, but when you delete a published post, visitors will get a 404 not found notification when they visit the missing url. Contact the digital marketing manager when you have to delete a published post. He will be able to make sure visitors will get redirected to another page when visiting the deleted post.
