I am going to talk about Pages today.
What’s the difference between Posts and Pages?
Posts are articles we published everyday, and Pages are information of the blog, such as About Us, Contact information.
About Us Page
WordPress creates a About page for every new blog with some example data, let’s modify it to fill our need.
Login Admin Panel, click on Pages->All Pages:
There is a default About page here, let’s edit it.
This is the Page Editing page, looks familiar? Yeah, it’s almost the same as Post Editing page. Just a little different settings on the right sidebar. Try to make some changes and click Update. Now check out the new About page on your blog. This is what I’ve done:
Some themes use Pages as Menu, which means you Pages will automatically shows on the Menu. Others use built-in Menu functions, in this case, you need to add your Pages in Menus editor under Appearance. Otherwise, you will not see your Pages on your blog.
You can also add your Pages to your blog using sidebar Widgets.
Add New Pages
Adding new pages is just the same as adding posts. Click on Add New under Pages section, and you know what to do.
There are three Page Attributes you can set on the right bottom.
- Parent: Set a parent page for the current page. For example, you have a page called, Authors, which introduces all authors on this blog. And you want to have a separate page to talk about one specific author, you can create a new page and set the page Authors to be its parent page.
- Template: You can have a specific design for a particular page using template. You need to create a template file in your theme to do this.
- Order: Define the order of pages to be show, less number goes first.
Conclusion
Pages are useful to provide static information to your readers. Use your imagination to create unique page to surprise everyone.
