How do I add a new page to my website?

ages are for your website's main, lasting content, such as About, Services or Contact. For news and articles, add a post instead.

Before you start: your site's editing screens may look slightly different depending on your WordPress version and theme. If your site uses a page builder such as Elementor, contact Gate 39 before building new pages so they match your site's design.

Create a new page

  1. Log in to your website's WordPress admin (usually yourwebsite.com/wp-admin).
  2. In the left sidebar menu, hover over Pages and click Add New Page. Or click Pages, then click Add New Page at the top of the list.
  3. At the top of the editor, type your page title.
  4. Click below the title to start adding content. Type to add text, or click the + icon to add blocks such as headings, images, buttons or columns.

Tip: in newer versions of WordPress, press Ctrl+K (Windows) or Cmd+K (Mac) anywhere in the admin to search for and jump to any page or screen.

Set up page settings

In the right-hand Page settings panel (click the settings icon at the top right if you don't see it), you can set:

  • URL (slug): the end of the page's web address, for example yourwebsite.com/services. Keep it short and descriptive.
  • Parent: place the page under another page, for example Services > Consulting.
  • Template: choose a layout, if your theme offers more than one.
  • Featured image: an image that may appear in page headers or when the page is shared, depending on your theme.

Save, preview and publish

  • Save draft: saves your work without making it live.
  • Preview: shows how the page will look to visitors before you publish.
  • Publish: click Publish in the top right, review the settings, then click Publish again to make the page live.
  • Schedule: to publish later, change the publish date in the settings panel before clicking Schedule.

Add the page to your website's menu

New pages don't appear in your site's navigation automatically. To add one:

  • Most sites: go to Appearance > Menus, check the new page under Pages, click Add to Menu, drag it into position, then click Save Menu.
  • Newer block themes: go to Appearance > Editor > Navigation to edit the menu.

If you're not sure which applies to your site, contact Gate 39 and we'll add it for you.

Edit an existing page

  1. In the left sidebar menu, click Pages.
  2. Search for the page or use the filters, then click the page name to open it in the editor.
  3. Make your changes and click Save (or Update in older versions) to publish them.

Made a mistake? In the page settings panel, click Revisions to compare and restore an earlier version of the page.
