Adding New Blog Posts to Your Divi Website
If you’re using Divi and WordPress, adding new blog posts to your website is a simple process—but doing it correctly can improve both your site’s design and search engine visibility. At Startup Support Plus, we guide our clients through every step of content publishing, helping them get the most from their Divi websites.
Step-by-Step: How to Add a Blog Post in Divi
1. Log into your website
Start by going to your login page, typically at yourdomain.com/wp-admin. Enter your WordPress username and password.
2. Access the WordPress Dashboard
Once logged in, you’ll land on your dashboard. From the left-hand menu, click on Posts, then select Add New.
3. Set up your post title and content
Give your blog post a clear title and add your content to the main editor. If you’re using the Divi Builder, you can switch to it by clicking “Use Divi Builder.” This allows you to add columns, images, buttons, and more.
4. Adjust the page layout
On the right-hand side under Divi Page Settings, set Page Layout to No Sidebar for a clean, full-width blog post.
5. Add a featured image
Scroll down to the Featured Image section and upload an engaging, branded image. This is the thumbnail that will display on your blog feed.
6. Optimize your post for SEO
Add focus keywords, a meta description, and internal links to other pages on your site (like your services or contact pages). Use a plugin like Yoast SEO or Rank Math to guide you.
7. Preview and publish
Click Preview to see how your blog post will look. When everything is in place, click Publish.
