Managing Blog Posts
Edit, publish, archive, and restore your blog posts from the dashboard.
Once you have written a few blog posts, you will want to keep them organized. Your TribeNest dashboard gives you everything you need to manage your blog content.
Viewing Your Blog Posts
- Open your dashboard and go to Blog in the sidebar.
- You will see a list of all your blog posts, each showing the title, cover image, publish date, and whether it is featured.
Posts that have not been published yet will show a Draft label. Published posts display the date they went live.
Searching and Filtering
As your blog grows, you can use the search bar and filters to find specific posts quickly.
- Search -- Type a keyword into the search bar at the top of the list to find posts by title.
- Filter by status -- Click the Filters button to switch between viewing active posts and archived posts.
- Clear filters -- Click "Clear all" to reset your view and see everything again.
Editing a Blog Post
- Find the post you want to edit in your blog posts list.
- Click the three-dot menu on the right side of the post.
- Select Edit post.
- Make your changes to the title, content, cover image, publish date, or featured status.
- Click Update Post to save your changes.
Your changes take effect immediately on your website.
You can update a post's publish date at any time. If you set a future date on an already-published post, it will be rescheduled.
Archiving a Blog Post
Archiving removes a post from your website without permanently deleting it. This is useful when you want to take something down temporarily or keep a record of old content.
- Find the post you want to archive in your blog posts list.
- Click the three-dot menu on the right side of the post.
- Select Archive post.
- Confirm when prompted.
Archived posts will no longer be visible to your fans on your website, but they are still saved in your dashboard.
Restoring an Archived Post
Changed your mind? You can bring back any archived post with just a few clicks.
- On the blog posts page, click the Filters button.
- Select Archived Posts to view your archived content.
- Find the post you want to restore and click the three-dot menu.
- Select Unarchive post.
- Confirm when prompted.
The post will be moved back to your active posts and will be visible on your website again (as long as it has a publish date).
Heads up
Archiving is not the same as deleting. Archived posts are kept safely in your account and can be restored at any time.
Understanding Post Statuses
Your blog posts can be in one of these states:
- Draft -- The post has been created but has no publish date set. It is not visible on your website.
- Published -- The post has a publish date in the past and is live on your website for fans to read.
- Scheduled -- The post has a publish date in the future. It will go live automatically at that time.
- Featured -- The post is marked as featured and will be highlighted on your blog page.
- Archived -- The post has been archived and is hidden from your website.
Tips for Managing Your Blog
- Keep a regular schedule -- Consistent posting helps keep fans engaged and coming back for more.
- Use featured posts wisely -- Feature your most important announcements or best content so it gets the attention it deserves.
- Archive instead of worrying -- If you are unsure about a post, archive it. You can always bring it back later.
- Search regularly -- Use the search bar to quickly find and update older posts when information changes.
