Editing without publishing?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a multi-page website which I want to update every monday. I have multiple editors working under me that are all assigned to their individual pages. However, when myself or one of my editors is making changes for next week’s publication, we cannot save our changes as a draft; it automatically publishes to the website! This is very problematic as we are overriding our weekly content when preparing for the next week’s publication. We don’t know what we are doing, and furthermore, what we are doing wrong. Can someone please tell me how to Edit a page, save it as a draft, and wait until a specific time to publish it? Please and Thanks to any help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Part of the problem is how you are using the blog – you have an entire static page site – yes you can do that.

    Please read this for the differences between Pages and Posts: http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    Outside of having two versions on a Page and swapping them or having one page version as a draft and then copying all the text from the draft version and pasting the revised text into the version seen by the public you are sort of stuck. No way to have A / B pages that I am aware of

    Most everything but the bell schedule would better be done with Posts and sort by categories using a custom menu, then you would have a new Post every Monday for the game of the week and the past games of the week would be still available, they would just scroll off the bottom of the page and into the archives – much easier also.

    Are you going to throw the old Tech news away each week? seems a waste to me, make them Posts and after a few weeks you will have a past library of useful info for your students
