POSTS
Posts can be a powerful addition to your website, as it allows you to enter information once and then select to display it various places on your site. Post maintenance is easier as you only have to make you changes in one place and be assured that it will update all displays of the post.
However, there are certain procedures that should be followed, as listed below:

EDITING EXISTING POSTS

- Select Edit displayed under post name (See Image 1)
- You should then be in Text Editor tab (see Image 2)
- Make any edits here, including Featured Image located on far right, bottom of screen.
- If, in Edit mode for an existing post, you see the message that Page Builder is active for this post (See Image 3), it means that previous edits to this page were done in Page Builder tab.
- If you proceed, the data last used in Page Builder will overwrite data entered in Text Editor.
