How to Create a Page in WordPress

Creating a page in WordPress is a simple processthat allows you to add static content, like an ‘About Us’ or ‘Contact’ page, that typically doesn’t change often, unlike blog posts. Follow the steps below to create a page:

Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard

1. Go to your WordPress login page by typing your domain followed by /wp-admin (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin). Note: If your site uses a custom login URL or WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, the login path may differ (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin).
2. Enter your username and password, then click Log In.

Step 2: Navigate to the Pages Section

1. In the left-hand menu, click Pages, then click Add New to open the page editor.

Step 3: Add a Title to Your Page

1. This opens the WordPress block editor where you can start building your page.
2. In the title bar at the top, type in the title of your page (e.g., "About Us", "Services").

Step 4: Add Content to Your Page

1. Below the title, you can add content using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), which lets you build pages using blocks of text, images, media, and layout elements.
2. You can add:
   • Text Blocks: Click on the plus (+) sign to add a paragraph or heading block.
   • Media: Add images, videos, or galleries by selecting the appropriate blocks.
   • Layouts: You can also add columns or other layout elements.

Step 5: Customize the Page (Optional)

1. On the right-hand side of the screen, you will find several options to customize your page:
   • Permalink: Set the URL slug for the page.
   • Featured Image: Add an image that may represent the page in some themes or templates.
   • Page Attributes: You can assign a parent page or change the page template if needed.

Step 6: Preview the Page

1. Click on the Preview button at the top of the screen to see how your page will look before publishing.

Tip: You can preview your page on desktop, tablet, and mobile using the icons at the top of the preview screen.

Step 7: Publish the Page

1. Once you’re satisfied with the content, click on the Publish button at the top-right corner.
2. You will be asked to confirm publishing. Click Publish again.

Step 8: View Your Published Page

1. After publishing, click View Page in the confirmation banner or from the top admin bar to see your new page live.
