Posts and Archives
Besides pages, Laravix has two more content types: posts for news, blog articles and other dated content, and archives — special pages that list your posts. Together they give you a blog or news section without any extra setup.
Posts vs. pages vs. archives
| Type | Use it for | Appears in menus? |
|---|---|---|
| Page | Permanent content — homepage, About, Contact | Yes |
| Post | Dated content — news, blog articles | No (reached through an archive) |
| Archive | A page that automatically lists posts, newest first | Yes |
Creating a post
- In the left menu, click Posts.
- Click New content.
- Fill in the Title (the slug generates itself), pick a Status, and optionally assign Taxonomies — categories and tags help visitors browse related posts.
- Click Create, then design the body in the Builder tab (see Editing Pages in the Visual Builder).
The address of a post is yourdomain.com/{slug}, exactly like a page.
Tip: For posts, the publish date matters — archives sort posts by it, newest first. Use the Scheduled status with a date to control exactly when a post goes live; see Publishing, Drafts and Scheduling.
Creating an archive
- In the left menu, click Archives.
- Click New content and give it a title like "Blog" or "News" — the slug (e.g.
blog) is the address where the list will live. - Publish it.
The archive page automatically shows all published posts of your site (in the page's language), sorted from newest to oldest — you don't add posts to it manually.
If you want to design the archive yourself, open its Builder tab and use the Post List block: it's a placeholder grid that is filled with your real posts when the page is displayed. The Post List block is only offered on archive pages.
Finally, add the archive to your site's menu so visitors can find it — see Managing Menus.
Frequently asked questions
My post doesn't show in the archive. Check three things: the post's status is Published, its publish date isn't in the future, and — on multilingual sites — the post is in the same language as the archive page.
Can I have two archives with different posts? All archives list the same set of posts. To split content by topic, use categories and tags — visitors can spot them on each post card.
