Here, you will learn how to create a new page on your WordPress website.
A Page is a static page link on your website that serves to be read on your website independently.
It is a timeless information and is published on your website without date and categories. It can be found on your website through links on your menus.
Most common examples of Pages in a website are "About", "Contact", "Copyright", "Disclosure", "Legal Information", "Company Information" and other pages related to your website's purpose.
Steps on making a PAGE
1. On the Main Navigation Menu, Select Pages then click Add New.
2. Begin by typing the title of your page.
3. Then, type your contents on the large white box below.
4. When you're done, just click Publish.
And you're done. You have just created a Page!
Note: Your Pages will not automatically become visible unlike blog posts. It will only become visible if you use it as an item on your menu links. It can be used on the Main Menu links of your website or on theFooter menu links. We will tackle more about how to create a menu on Lesson 10 of this training.
It can also become visible if your use the Widget PAGES on the Sidebar of your website. Just head over to Widgets, then drag the Pages item on the Main Sidebar on the right as shown below. Type the title and then click save.
Although pages can't be organized in categories, you can create sub-pages within your pages and arranged it into the hierarchy of pages in menus.
Suppose that we have created a Page called "Sample", we will create a sub-page under "Sample" page.
Steps on making Sub-pages
1. Select Pages then, Add New
2. On the Page Attributes on the right side of the workspace, select the drop-down menu on Parent and select which page you want your sub-page to be categorized. In this example, we will choose the page we made called "Sample".
3. Then, begin by writing your sub-page's content and then click Publish when you're done.
After creating your Pages and Sub-pages, you can check them all at Pages -> All Pages. You will notice an indented title below your page. Those pages are your sub-pages of your Page.
On the example below, Certification Courses is the Page. It's sub-pages are the 2 indented pages below as shown below.
That is the difference between a Page and a Post, you can create Sub-pages within a Page but you can not do it in a Post. But you can't categorize Pages that you can do on your Posts.
Also, posts are automatically shown on your blog. While Pages to become visible needs to become part of your menu links either on your main menu or footer links. It can also become visible on your website's sidebar by using Pages on your Widgets.
On our next lesson, I will give you a quick tutorial on how to create a Post on your website.

No, I have not created a sub-page yet as I do not have enough details to do that. I need specifics and if it's too simple - it doesn't have enough information. I've read the directions a bunch of times and I still don't get it.
ReplyThanks a lot!

When importing the back-up files (.xml) start importing the "All Content" file. Tutorial updated now.
The "Media" file back-up is for emergency purposes only if in case the "All Media" file didn't show the media / pictures on your posts or pages. So, to make sure of that, you can import the "Media" file after importing the "All Content" file.
Thanks for having this tutorial, I'm glad it's becoming useful to my fellow members here.
