Posts and pages
Posts and pages share Markdown, summaries, tags, media, publication states, drafts, revisions, and ownership. Their public organization differs.
Posts
Posts are chronological and do not have parent posts. Themes normally show them in a stream ordered by publication time.
Post listing controls include:
- Aggregate to root: allow an author-space post to appear in the site’s root stream.
- Sticky: keep the post in the theme’s pinned or sticky presentation.
- Featured: mark the post for themes that distinguish featured content.
These flags affect eligible theme listings. They do not change the post body or force every theme to use the same layout.
Pages
Pages are hierarchical. A page can remain at the scope root or select another page in the same scope as its parent. Sibling pages use Sort order before their normal title or storage ordering.
Show in navigation makes a page eligible for the automatic page tree used by themes such as DocsMatter. Site Primary and Footer menus are managed separately under System > Menus.
Moving a published page can change its URL and the URLs of descendants. tinymash does not silently rewrite Markdown, menus, or incoming links. Check link integrity and add explicit redirects where old URLs must continue to work.
Titles and slugs
New content derives its initial slug from the title until the slug is edited. A slug forms part of the public URL and must be unique within the relevant scope and type rules.
Changing a title does not silently change an existing published slug. Edit the slug only when the URL change is intentional.
Summaries and images
The summary supplies listing and metadata text where the active theme or plugin uses it. A featured image is a listing or cover signal; it is not automatically inserted into the content body.
When no featured image is selected, supported themes may use their own fallback presentation. Social images and Photos galleries are separate controls.
