Managing blog posts

Once you have written a few posts, the posts list becomes your home base for the blog. From there you can edit anything, search through everything you have written, and clean up posts that no longer belong on your site.

The posts list

Open Blog then Posts in your dashboard to see every post you have created. Each row shows:

• The cover image (or a coloured placeholder if you did not set one)
• The post title
• A Featured label if the post is marked as featured
• The publish date, or a Draft label if the post has not been published yet
• An actions menu (the three-dot icon on the right)

Scroll through the list, or use search and filters at the top to narrow things down.

Searching and filtering

Search

Type in the search box at the top of the list to find posts by title. Results update as you type.

Filters

Click the Filters button to open the filter dialog. From there you can switch between:

• Active posts — your normal, visible posts (default)
• Archived posts — posts you have archived

When a filter is active, you will see a badge on the Filters button and a list of active filters above your posts. Click Clear all to reset everything.

Drafts vs published

Every post is in one of three states based on its publish date:

• Draft — no publish date set. The post is saved but does not appear on your website. The posts list shows an orange Draft label.
• Published — publish date is now or in the past. The post is live on your website and the list shows the publish date.
• Scheduled — publish date is in the future. The post is saved but waits until that date to go live. It will show the future date in the list.

Moving between states is just a matter of editing the publish date. To turn a draft into a published post, edit it and pick a date. To unpublish a post, edit it and clear the date — it goes back to being a draft.

Editing a post

You can update any post at any time:

1. From the posts list, click the three-dot menu on the post you want to edit.
2. Choose Edit Post.
3. Update any of the fields — title, content, cover image, publish date, or featured status.
4. Click Update Post at the bottom of the form.

Your changes go live on your website immediately for any post that is already published.

Scheduling a post

Scheduling lets you write a post now and have it appear on your website later — perfect for release-day announcements, tour kickoffs, or anything tied to a specific date.

To schedule a post:

1. Open the post you want to schedule (or create a new one).
2. In the Publish date field, choose a date and time in the future.
3. Save the post.

The post stays hidden from your website until the date arrives, then goes live automatically. You can change the scheduled date as many times as you want before it publishes.

To turn a scheduled post back into a draft, edit it and clear the publish date.

Featuring a post

Use the Featured post checkbox on the create or edit form to highlight a post on your website. Featured posts are surfaced more prominently on your blog page.

To unfeature a post:

1. Open the post and uncheck Featured post.
2. Save your changes.

You can mark as many posts as featured as you want, but using it sparingly tends to draw more attention to the ones you really care about.

Archiving and restoring

TribeNest does not delete blog posts outright — instead, you archive them. Archived posts are removed from your website but still saved in your dashboard, so you can bring them back later if you change your mind.

Archive a post

1. From the posts list, click the three-dot menu on the post.
2. Choose Archive Post.
3. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

The post disappears from your website right away and from the active posts list in your dashboard.

View archived posts

1. Click the Filters button at the top of the posts list.
2. Switch the status filter to Archived posts.
3. Apply the filter.

You will now see only your archived posts.

Restore a post

1. With the Archived posts filter on, find the post you want to bring back.
2. Click the three-dot menu and choose Unarchive Post.
3. Confirm in the dialog.

The post is restored. If it had a publish date in the past, it goes back live on your website immediately. If it was a draft when you archived it, it returns as a draft.

A workflow that works

Most artists settle into something like this:

1. Draft posts as ideas come to you — leave the publish date blank.
2. Schedule the ones tied to specific dates (releases, tours, announcements).
3. Feature your most important post at any given moment.
4. Archive older posts that no longer reflect where you are now.

Your blog should feel current, not crowded. A clean, well-tended blog is far better than a long list of old posts you have outgrown.
