Posts vs. Pages (Key Differences)

The differences we list below definitely have exceptions. You can use plugins or code
snippets to extend the functionality of both content types. Below is the list of key
differences by default.
 Posts are timely vs. Pages are timeless.

 Posts are social vs. Pages are NOT.

 Posts can be categorized vs. Pages are hierarchical.

 Posts are included in RSS feed vs. Pages are not.

 Pages have custom template feature vs. Posts do not.

Pages

Pages are meant to be static “one-off” type content such as your about page, privacy
policy, legal disclaimers, etc. While the WordPress database stores the published date
of the page, pages are timeless entities. For example, your about page is not suppose
to expire.

Posts

If you are using WordPress as a blog, then you will end up using posts for majority of
your site’s content. Posts are content entries listed in reverse chronological order on
your blog’s home page. Due to their reverse chronological order, your posts are meant
to be timely. Older posts are archived based on month and year. 

Two type of post

Categories are meant for broad grouping of your posts.

Tags are meant to describe specific details of your posts.

Page template

WordPress by default comes with a feature that allows you create custom page templates using
your theme. This allows developers to customize the look of each page when necessary. 

Taxonomy

In WordPress, a "taxonomy" is a grouping mechanism for some posts (or links or custom post
types). The names for the different groupings in a taxonomy are called terms.

which is set in Setting > General at WordPress dashboard.
The the_title() template tag is used to display the post title.
wp_list_cats() is  for display categories.
get_header() for getting header.
get_sidebar() for display the sidebar on page.
get_footer() for get the footer content on page.

Q7.         What is the difference between the wp_title and the_title tags?
Ans.        wp_title() function is for use outside “The Loop” to display the title of a
Page.  the_title() on the other hand is used within “The Loop“.

Ans.        Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological
order, next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set)
and previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the
set).

Q15.       How to create Custom Taxonomy specific to a Custom Post type?

Ans.       First of all if you want to show taxonomy metabox only to custom post type then
register the taxonomy to only that custom post type by passing the custom post type
name as argument in register_taxonomy(). By doing this the taxonomy metabox appears
only to custom post type.
Q18.       What’s the difference between site_url() and home_url()?
Ans.       The site_url() will always be the location where you can reach the site by
tacking on /wp-admin on the end, while home_url() would not reliably be this
location. The home_url() would be where you have set your homepage by
setting General > Settings “Site Address (URL)” field.
