How do I create a new page in WordPress

To create a new page in WordPress, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to the WordPress Admin Dashboard Open your web browser and enter the URL of your WordPress website followed by "/wp-admin" (e.g., "www.example.com/wp-admin"). Enter your administrator username and password to log in. After successful login, you will be redirected to the WordPress admin dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Pages Section In the admin dashboard, locate the sidebar menu on the left-hand side. Find and hover over the "Pages" option. This will expand a submenu with options like "All Pages," "Add New," "Categories," and more. Click on "Add New" to create a new page.

Step 3: Enter Page Title and Content On the page editor screen, you will see two fields: one for the page title and another for the page content. Enter the title of your new page in the title field. Then, in the content field, you can add text, images, videos, or any other content elements using the text editor. Use the formatting options available to style your content as desired.

Step 4: Customize Page Settings (Optional) Below the content field, you will find various meta boxes that allow you to customize page settings. Depending on your theme and installed plugins, you may have different options available. Some common settings include selecting a page template, setting a featured image, choosing a parent page (for creating a hierarchy), and configuring page attributes.

Step 5: Preview and Publish the Page Once you have entered the page title, added content, and customized the settings (if desired), you can preview how the page will look by clicking the "Preview" button. If you're satisfied with the preview, click the "Publish" button to make the page live on your website. If you're not ready to publish, you can click the "Save Draft" button to save your changes as a draft without making the page visible to the public.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a new page in WordPress. The new page will now be available on your website, and you can further customize its design and layout using page templates, custom fields, and other features provided by your theme and plugins. Repeat these steps to create additional pages as needed.
