Publishing pages and blog posts
What Draft, Scheduled, and Published mean for pages and blog posts, and when content goes live.
Updated
Pages and Blog posts share three statuses: Draft, Scheduled, and Published. Only Published content appears on your public website.
Where to set status
For a page, open it in Pages or Home page. Go to the Publishing tab.
For a blog post, open it from Blog posts. Use the Publishing step in the editor.
Both editors offer the same status options and a date field. You can also click Publish on a page to set status to Published in one step.
What each status means
- Draft — saved in CMS only. Visitors cannot see it.
- Scheduled — will publish at the date you set. The date label reads Publish at.
- Published — live on the public site. The date label reads Published at.
On list screens, filter by All statuses, Draft, Scheduled, or Published.
Blog posts: taxonomy and SEO
Blog posts also have Content, Taxonomy, and SEO steps. Assign categories and tags under Taxonomy. Manage category and tag lists under CMS Taxonomy.
Per-page SEO fields can override the defaults set under Public Site. Use Meta title, Meta description, and Hide from search engines when a post needs its own search intent.
Packages use a different model
Packages do not use Draft or Published. They use an Active toggle instead. See creating rental packages.
Typical workflow
Start as Draft while you write. Review on the SEO tab. Set Published when ready, or Scheduled for a future launch date.
If content stays hidden, check status first before checking navigation or redirects.
