Ways to deal with a lot of articles.

My project went from 0 articles to close to 500 overnight.

Now I’m having some trouble finding what I want when I need to edit.

Just about everything is under the section “articles”, the rest are for “static” pages for the other sections (and sub-sections)

Is there a way to deal with large numbers of articles efficiently?

If the articles can be divided by section, for example, that might work.

Has anyone come across this issue before?

Thanks,
Shige

Re: Ways to deal with a lot of articles.

if your articles need to be organized further why not have more different sections then just ‘articles’?

Re: Ways to deal with a lot of articles.

that’s an idea. we have content from 2000 and essentially all are articles, but its possible to organize further.

still, i think if i was to do that, there is pages and pages of stuff. is there some other way to group content?

thanks

Re: Ways to deal with a lot of articles.

You could keep them in a single section “articles” but split them into categories. The article listing page can be sorted by category as well as section.
