ADDING A NEW PAGE

Before creating your pages, even before your first page, you should set

your Permalinks structure, as covered in the previous chapter:

Menu > Settings > Permalinks

In the Pages menu there are two options, Pages and Add New. Click on Add

New.

Menu > Pages > Add New

The screen will change allowing you to enter the various bits of information

needed for the page. Don’t worry, you can always change this again.

The first thing to enter is the page title. So let’s create a page called “Contact”

on which we’ll put our contact details. So in the title field enter “Contact”.

Now click in the main editor.

Beneath the title a small but important piece of information appears… the

Permalink, as covered in the previous chapter. This is the URL (the web

address) that people can enter to go directly to your new page.

Changing your Permalinks is not essential, but highly recommended.

Your site will be easier for humans and search engines!

The following shows the About page, and the Permalink below it.

If you want the Permalink to be different to the page title then you can edit it by

clicking on the Edit button beside it.
