4. WordPress started out as simple blogging tool
which allowed users to write posts. In the year
2005, Pages were introduced in WordPress
version 1.5 to allow users to create static pages
that were not part of their blog posts.
For example, an about page, contact page, legal
info, etc. Some of the key differences between
posts and pages are:
• Posts are timely content part of a series of posts
in a blog. Pages are static one- off type of
documents which are not tied to the blog's
reverse chronological order of content Pages
can be hierarchical, which means a page can
have sub pages, for example a parent page
titled "About us" can have a sub-page called
"Our history".

5. ● On the other hand posts are not
hierarchical. By default posts in WordPress
can be sorted into taxonomies Categories
and Tags. Pages do not have categories or
tags Pages can utilize custom page templates.
● Posts can not utilize this feature by default
in WordPress. WordPress posts are displayed
in RSS feeds while Pages are excluded from
feeds. Pages are static content such as
Contact Us, About Me, Privacy Policy, etc.
● Pages are not supposed to be timely, so they
are not included in the RSS feed. Pages are
also not supposed to be social platforms, so
they are not encouraged to be shared on
social networks.
