Adding a page in WordPress is a straightforward process. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:
1. Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard:
- Access your WordPress site’s admin area by adding “/wp-admin” to your website’s URL (e.g., yourwebsite.com/wp-admin).
- Enter your username and password.
2. Navigate to Pages:
- In the left-hand menu of your WordPress dashboard, find “Pages.”
- Click on “Add New.”
3. Add a Title and Content:
- You’ll see a title field at the top of the page editor. Enter the title of your new page.
- Below the title field, you’ll find the content editor (Gutenberg block editor). This is where you’ll add the content of your page.
- Use the block editor to add text, images, videos, and other media.
4. Customize Your Page (Optional):
- Page Attributes: On the right-hand side of the editor, you can find options to set a parent page, choose a template, and adjust the order of your pages.
- Featured Image: You can also add a featured image to your page.
- Discussion: You can choose to allow or disallow comments on your page.
5. Preview and Publish:
- Before publishing, click the “Preview” button to see how your page will look.
- If you’re satisfied with the preview, click the “Publish” button to make your page live.
Key Considerations:
- Gutenberg Block Editor: WordPress uses the Gutenberg block editor, which allows you to add various content elements as “blocks.”
- Page Templates: Some WordPress themes offer custom page templates, which provide different layouts and designs.
- Navigation Menus: After publishing your page, you may need to add it to your website’s navigation menu so visitors can easily find it. You can do this by going to “Appearance” > “Menus” in your WordPress dashboard.
I hope this helps!
