How to Add a Page in WordPress
How to Create a Page in WordPress
To get started adding a new page to your WordPress site, find the Pages menu in the
WordPress Dashboard Navigation menu. Click Add New.
You’ll now see the WordPress page editor. WordPress 5.0 introduced an entirely new
editor with a new approach to adding content to your new page called the WordPress Block
Editor. In the WordPress editor, each paragraph, image, or video is presented as a distinct
“block” of content.

Each block comes with its own set of controls for changing things like color, width, and
alignment. These will show and hide automatically when you have a block selected. All of the
blocks available to you live in the Block Library. You’ll find it wherever you see the + icon.
Add Page Title
Next, add the title of the page, like About. Click the Add Title text to open the text box
where you will add your title.
The title of your page should be descriptive of the information the page will contain.
Choose a helpful page title.
Note: If you have pretty permalinks set up, WordPress will use your page title as the permalink
of your page. The permalink is the actual URL or web address of the page.
Start Writing or Choose a Block
After you add your page title, it’s time to add some content. Content can be anything
you choose … from text, headings, images, lists, videos, tables, and lots more.

Block Type Description
Paragraph The paragraph block allows you to easily craft content and is the default block
type for text added to the editor. It is probably the block you will use most.
Image The image block allows you to insert an image into your content from via
upload, Media Library or from a URL.
Heading Adds heading text (h2, h3, h4, h5, h5) to introduce new sections and organize
content to help visitors (and search engines) understand the structure of your
content.
Gallery Display multiple images in a rich gallery.
List Adds a bulleted or numbered list.
Quote Give quoted text visual emphasis.
Audio Embed a simple audio player.
Cover Add an image or video with a text overlay — great for headers.
File Add a link to a downloadable file.
Video Embed a video from your media library or upload a new one.
WordPress Document Settings
On the right side of the WordPress page editor, you’ll see Document settings for your
page. This area contains some important settings for your page, so let’s go through them.

The Publish settings allows you to either choose “Immediately” or a date in the future
for your page to be published.
If you want to schedule your page to be published in the future, you can use the time
and date picker to choose your preferred publication time.
If you want your page to publish immediately, then leave this setting
to Immediately. This means when you hit the blue Publish button at the top of the screen, your
page will immediately go live.
Permalink
Permalink is short for “permanent link.” This is the field where you can customize the
last part of the URL of your new page.
For SEO reasons, it’s a good idea to choose a slug that matches the title of your page, rather
than a random string of numbers or characters. Be sure to select pretty permalinks in
your WordPress settings.
Featured Image
Depending on your theme, the featured image of your page may be used in several
ways (like on your home page, for example, in a gallery-style listing of pages). Upload an image
that “describes” your new page here.
Featured images are also used by social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter as
the preview image for the page if you share a link to your new page.
Discussion
If you’d like to allow comments on your new page, you can enable them here.
Otherwise, leave this setting turned off.
Page Attributes
The Page Attributes section applies a parent page and template to your new page.
For the Parent section, you can arrange your pages into page hierarchies. For example, you
could create this new page with additional pages under it. Or you could place your new page
as a child page beneath an existing page.
Template – Some WordPress themes have custom page templates, so the
next Template section allows you to apply a template to your new page.
The Order box allows you to order your page numerically. Pages are usually ordered
alphabetically, but you can choose your own order by entering a number in this field.

Save Draft or Preview Your Page
As you finish up work on your new page, you have a few options. Using the left-hand links at
the top of the screen,
You can Save Draft of the page, which will save the page and your work on it into a draft.
To Preview the page one last time, click the Preview button. This will open a new tab in your
browser where you can view how your page will look once it is live.
Publish Your WordPress Page
Once you have finished adding content, sizing images and proofing your page, it’s time
to publish! Preview it one last time and then click the Publish button.
You’ll be able to double-check your settings one last time before publishing.
Once you’ve published, you’ll see a confirmation that the page is new live, along with the page
address. Click View Page or Copy Link to save your new page’s URL.
