Posts and Pages are the primary contents of the WordPress website. Below is a list of difference between the two.
Posts
- Blog entries or articles that are updated on a timely basis
- Can be assigned tags or categories to allow readers to find related posts
- Multiple posts can be viewed in one page
- Listed in reverse chronological order on your blog’s home page
- Archived based on month and year
- Can be syndicated through RSS feeds (newsletters or email subscription)
- Have a built-in commenting feature
- Can use the Social Media sharing plugin
Pages
- Used for static contents and timeless entries (not tagged on the page with time and date)
- Typically included in the site's navigation menu
- Not included in RSS feeds
- Does not usually include the Social Media sharing options (unless manually added)
- Does not allow comments
- Hierarchical by nature; you can have sub pages within a main page, and allows you to organize pages and assign a custom template
