How to Publish an Article in Joomla

Take a finished article live on your Joomla site, with datanephew able to do it for you.

Joomla calls its content pieces "articles," and like most content management systems, a new article stays unpublished until you explicitly set it live. You can do this yourself in the admin panel, or ask datanephew to publish it for you directly.

Steps

  1. Log in to your Joomla admin panel and open Content, then Articles.
  2. Open the article you want to publish, or create a new one.
  3. Review the title, text, and category before publishing.
  4. Set the "Status" field to "Published."
  5. Save & Close, then check the article's public URL to confirm it's live.

Can datanephew actually publish an article for me in Joomla?

Yes — datanephew has a direct publish connection to Joomla, so you can ask it to take a finished article live and it will confirm once it's published.

Can I have it schedule an article for later instead?

Ask it to set a "Start Publishing" date instead of publishing immediately — Joomla supports scheduling an article to go live at a future date automatically.
