Pages
Pages are the building blocks of your website — the homepage, "About us", "Contact" and so on. This article shows how to create a page, what each field means, and how to check the result on the live website.
Creating a page
- In the left menu, click Pages.
- Click the New content button in the top right corner.
- Fill in the fields (explained below) and click Create.
The fields explained
General
- Title — the page name. It's shown as the page heading and in the browser tab. As you type, the slug is generated automatically.
- Slug — the page address, e.g.
about-usbecomesyourdomain.com/about-us. It must be unique within the site. You can edit it manually, but avoid changing it once the page is public — old links would break (if you must, set up a redirect). - Set as homepage — makes this page the one visitors see at
yourdomain.com. Only one page per site (and per language) can be the homepage, so the toggle is hidden if another page already has it.
Publishing
- Type — Page, Post or Archive. It can't be changed after creating, so pick carefully. Pages are for permanent content; see Posts and Archives for the other two.
- Language — only shown on multilingual sites; see Languages and Translations.
- Status — Draft, Published or Scheduled; see Publishing, Drafts and Scheduling.
Taxonomies
Assign categories or tags to the page. Mostly used for posts, but pages can be categorized too. See Categories and Tags.
SEO tab
Meta title, meta description, social sharing image and a "hide from search engines" switch. Explained in detail in SEO and Social Sharing.
Builder tab
After you save the page for the first time, a Builder tab appears. Clicking it opens the visual drag-and-drop editor where you design the actual page layout. See Editing Pages in the Visual Builder.
Previewing a page
Open the page for editing and click Preview in the top right. The live page opens in a new tab.
Warning: Preview opens the public website, so it only shows published content. A draft returns a "page not found" error — that's expected, not a bug.
Editing and deleting
- To edit, click the page in the Pages list, make changes and save. Every save creates a revision you can return to later — see Revision History.
- To delete, open the page and click Delete in the top right (only site admins can delete). Deleted pages go to the Bin, where an admin can restore them.
Changing the order
The list of pages can be reordered by dragging rows. The order matters for content types that display lists (for example docs); for ordinary pages it only affects the admin list.
