--- title: "Blog posts" description: "Understand how posts, archives, authors and blog settings work together." requested_language: hu language: en translation_notice: "This page isn't translated yet" url: https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts version: unreleased (main) docs_index: https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/llms.txt --- > This page isn't translated yet. Showing English. > [!NOTE] > This feature is optional. If you don't see **Posts** in your Admin, your site may not use it or your role may not have access. Ask your agency if you'd like to use it. A post is an article with its own address. An archive is a page that lists articles. Publishing a post makes it available at its address; the archive's filters decide whether it appears in that list. Start with [writing a post](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/writing-a-post.md), then [categories and tags](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/categories-and-tags.md) and [authors](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/authors.md). ## How visitors find your posts Your site can show posts on a blog archive, in a **Posts** block on another page, or through a direct link. Lists usually show the title, featured image and excerpt. Their design depends on your site. An archive may let visitors search, choose a category or tag, and move between pages of results. ![Blog archive search with a category selector and the Editor guide tag selected](./images/archive-filters.light.webp) ## Change an archive You can adjust an existing blog archive without changing the articles themselves. 1. Open **Pages** and choose your blog page. 2. Open its **Posts** tab. This tab appears on a page using the **Archive** template. 3. Under **Listing**, choose whether the list should find posts automatically or use a fixed selection. Adjust the fields below. ![Blog page Posts tab showing automatic listing and category and tag filters](./images/archive-settings.light.webp) 4. Use **Publish changes** when the page is ready. Open the public archive and check its first page and filters. | Field | What it does | Tip | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Source** | **Automatic (query)** finds matching published posts; **Fixed (hand-picked)** uses your selected posts. | A fixed list needs updating when you want to feature a new article. | | **Filter by categories** / **Filter by tags** | Restricts an automatic list to those topics. | An article outside the selected topics will not appear here. | | **Order by** / **Direction** | Chooses the order of articles. | **Publish date** with **Descending** puts newer articles first. | | **Posts per page** | Sets how many articles appear at once. | Check that the layout still looks balanced. | | **Layout** | Chooses the available card layout. | The choices depend on your site's design. | | **Loading strategy** | Chooses how visitors reach more results. | Check the next-page or load-more control on the public site. | | **Color** / **Background Variant** | Sets the listing's colors. | Keep text readable against its background. | The **Hero**, **Prepend** and **Append** tabs control the heading and content before and after the list. See [page templates](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/pages/page-templates.md). ## Settings for the whole blog Open **General Settings** → **Posts**. These settings affect every post, so agree changes with your agency if you are unsure. ![General Settings Posts tab with permalink, byline, share and related-post settings](./images/posts-settings.light.webp) | Field | What it does | Tip | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Permalink pattern** | Sets the address pattern for posts. | Changing it can break existing links; plan [redirects](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/redirects.md) first. | | **Show author byline** | Shows the writer's name on articles. | The name comes from the selected author account. | | **Show publish date** | Shows the article date. | Keep the date accurate when updating older articles. | | **Enable share buttons** | Displays sharing controls. | Check the public article after changing them. | | **Share targets** | Chooses the available sharing services. | **Native share** uses a visitor's device sharing menu where supported. | | **Position** / **Button style** | Sets where share buttons appear and how they look. | Keep the controls easy to find. | | **Strategy** | Controls how related posts are chosen. | **Manual then automatic** uses chosen articles first, then fills remaining places automatically. | | **Automatic match** | Chooses the topics used to find related articles. | Useful categories and tags improve the matches. | | **Maximum posts** | Limits the related-post list. | A short, relevant list is easier to browse. | ## Check afterwards Open an article and the archive on the public site. Check the article address, featured image, excerpt, byline, date, share controls and related posts. If a post is missing, check that it is published and matches the archive's filters. ## Related pages - [Writing a post](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/writing-a-post.md) - [Categories and tags](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/categories-and-tags.md) - [Authors](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/posts/authors.md) - [Changes taking time to appear](https://docs.systhema.app/hu/next/editor-guide/cache-and-performance.md)
