The post list is one of the most frequently used pages in HexoPress. Here you can browse all your articles, apply filters and searches, and perform various operations on your posts.
Post List
Click “Posts” in the left sidebar to enter the post list page. Each post displays its title, publish date, update date, categories, and status (published or draft).

Filtering and Searching
The top of the post list provides several filtering options:
- Status filter: Choose to view “Published”, “Draft”, or “All” posts
- Date filter: Filter posts by month to quickly locate content from a specific time period
- Category filter: Show only posts under a specific category
- Keyword search: Enter keywords to search post titles in real time
These filters can be combined to help you quickly find what you’re looking for among a large number of posts.

Sorting
The post list supports two sorting modes:
- Sort by publish date
- Sort by update date
Click the corresponding sort button to switch between them.
Creating a New Post
On the post list page, click the “New Post” button. A dialog will appear asking for the post’s filename. After confirming, HexoPress will create a new Markdown file in the source/_posts/ directory and automatically open the editor.

Post Actions
Each post has action buttons on its right side:
- Edit: Open the editor to modify the post
- Preview: Preview the rendered post in a popup
- Edit Metadata: Modify the post’s Front Matter (title, date, categories, tags, etc.) without entering the editor
- Delete: Delete the post (with a confirmation prompt)

Drafts and Publishing
In Hexo, drafts are stored in the source/_drafts/ directory, while published posts live in source/_posts/. With HexoPress, you can easily switch between the two — publish a draft or move a published post back to draft status.
