Creating and editing a listing page

A listing page showcases post types.

Access your published pages and drafts and create a new page on your site. (Watch in full-screen for the best view!)

Types of listing pages

There are five types of listing pages:

  • Directory (for faculty or staff profiles)
  • Events Listing (for events)
  • News Listing (for news posts)
  • Person Features (for student or alumni features)
  • Work Listing (for work posts)

The template for each type of listing page is unique.

Listing pages have limited fields to edit, and most don’t require much (if any) maintenance.
