In the screenshot below, we will talk about each of the following settings when creating a blog on CMS Max.
Status
- Published - this means that your blog page is indexable on a Google search and visible on your website.
- Draft - this means that your blog is hidden from all users and search engines. This is for testing and creating a blog before pushing it live. Only admins logged in can view the page on the front end.
Date Created - this is the date the blog was created and used schema structured data to tell Google about the page which improves your SEO.
Publish Start - this is so you can pre-load a blog and have it automatically publish on your website on an exact date and time.
Publish End - this will automatically take a blog from publish status to draft status, meaning it will be hidden from Google and your website.
Visibility
- Public - this means that anyone can view the page when the status is marked published.
- Password Protected - this gives you the ability to make the page password protected
