How to Publish Posts in the JurnalPress Theme

This documentation explains the steps to create and manage posts in WordPress using the JurnalPress theme. The theme is designed for professional news portals and blogs with support for post formats, custom taxonomy, and additional custom metaboxes.

Supports both the Gutenberg block editor and the classic editor by installing the Classic Editor plugin. Both work well, and the post preview in the editor matches the frontend.

1. Create a New Post

1. Open the WordPress Dashboard.
2. Go to Posts → Add New.
3. Enter the Post Title.
4. Write the main content using the Block Editor (Gutenberg).

2. Supported Post Formats

The JurnalPress theme supports the following post formats:

2.1 Standard

The default format for articles or regular posts.

Steps:
