Unlike posts, pages are not listed chronologically and do not use categories or tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a new page, go to <strong>Pages \u2192 Add New<\/strong> in your WordPress admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-block-editor\">The Block Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WPlook themes use the WordPress <strong>Block Editor<\/strong> (Gutenberg) for creating page content. Build your pages using blocks \u2014 paragraphs, headings, images, columns, buttons, and more. Each block can be individually styled and rearranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"creating-a-page\">Creating a Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Click <strong>Pages \u2192 Add New<\/strong> from the main menu.<\/li><li>Enter your page title.<\/li><li>Add content blocks using the <strong>+<\/strong> button or by typing <strong>\/<\/strong> to search for blocks.<\/li><li>In the right sidebar, select a <strong>Page Template<\/strong> if your theme provides specialized layouts.<\/li><li>Configure any theme-specific options in the sidebar (see below).<\/li><li>Set a <strong>Featured Image<\/strong> if needed.<\/li><li>Click <strong>Publish<\/strong> when ready.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"theme-options-in-the-sidebar\">Theme Options in the Sidebar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> WPlook themes are migrating to Gutenberg metaboxes. In updated themes, theme-specific page options appear in the <strong>right sidebar<\/strong> under the page settings panel. Open the sidebar by clicking the <strong>Settings<\/strong> icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner. In older theme versions, these options may still appear below the editor content area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your theme and the selected page template, you may see additional options such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Header\/Teaser Options<\/strong> \u2014 Background image, gradient overlay, header height, video background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Layout Options<\/strong> \u2014 Sidebar toggle, full-width mode, inner padding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Template-Specific Options<\/strong> \u2014 Portfolio columns, blog post category filter, items per page, and other settings that appear when you select a page template.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your theme&#8217;s specific documentation for all available page options and templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"page-settings-right-sidebar\">Page Settings (Right Sidebar)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right sidebar has two tabs: <strong>Page<\/strong> and <strong>Block<\/strong>. The Page tab contains settings for the entire page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"status-visibility\">Status &amp; Visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visibility<\/strong> \u2014 Public, Private, or Password Protected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publish Date<\/strong> \u2014 Schedule for future publication or back-date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pending review<\/strong> \u2014 Mark as pending for editor approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"permalink\">Permalink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The URL slug is generated from your page title. You can edit it to create a shorter, cleaner URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"template\">Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WPlook themes include specialized page templates for different layouts \u2014 such as Portfolio, Blog Posts, or Teaser pages. Selecting a template may reveal additional options in the sidebar. Check your theme&#8217;s documentation for available templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"parent-page\">Parent Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set a parent page to create a hierarchy. For example, a &#8220;Team&#8221; page could be a child of &#8220;About Us&#8221;, creating the URL structure <code>\/about-us\/team\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"order\">Order<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Controls the display order of pages in menus and page listings. Lower numbers appear first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"featured-image\">Featured Image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some themes display a featured image on pages. Click <strong>Set featured image<\/strong> to upload or select an image from the media library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"revisions\">Revisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress saves revisions automatically as you edit. Click <strong>Revisions<\/strong> in the Page tab to browse previous versions, compare changes, and restore an older version if needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pages are meant for static, permanent content like About, Contact, or Services pages.
