Web pages

How to add new pages to your website

  1. Login to Wordpress
  2. Dashboard > Pages
  3. Click "Add New" (at the top).
  4. Enter the title in the top input box.
  5. Enter the page content in the next input box (the WYSIWYG editor). (Switching between Visual and Text view can cause some of your HTML entities to be lost. This is due, in part, to the manner in which TinyMCE handles your HTML. If formatting is very important, do not switch between views. CHOOSE EITHER VISUAL OR TEXT FOR THE PAGE AND STICK WITH IT and DO NOT SWITCH.)
    If the Divi Builder is enabled and you want the title to show on the page, please use the Post Title module in the beginning of the content because it does not show by default.
    1. Add Standard Section with a full length (You can skip if it already exists)
    2. Add Row (You can skip if it already exists)
    3. Insert Module(s) and select Post Title from the New Module options
      • Show Title: YES
      • Show Meta: NO
      • Show Featured Image: YES or NO
    4. Click Save & Exist
  6. You can skip the excerpt.
  7. You can skip "Set featured image" (at right-bottom), but you want to set it, then either select an image from the Media Library or upload a new image. Click "Set featured image" button to select the image.
  8. Click "Publish" button (at top-right) to publish the new page now. If you want to publish at a later date, click "Edit" next to "Publish immediately", set the date, click "Ok", and click "Schedule".

How to update existing pages

  1. Login to Wordpress
  2. Dashboard > Pages
  3. To find the page, you can use one of the following techniques:
    1. Go to the URL of the page (the permalink) and click "Edit Page" in the black bar at the top.
    2. If you've organized your pages in categories (see best practices), then you can use the "All categories" dropdown to "filter" for the page you're looking for.
    3. Use the "Search Pages" button (at top-right) to search for the pages.
  4. If you did not do #3.1 above, then you now have a list of pages to choose from. Mouse over the page you want to edit and click "Edit" underneath.
  5. Proceed similarly to the instruction for "How to add new pages to your website" after step #3. (Remember that switching between Visual and Text view can cause some of your HTML entities to be lost. This is due, in part, to the manner in which TinyMCE handles your HTML. If formatting is very important, do not switch between views. STAY WITH THE CURRENT VISUAL OR TEXT FOR THE PAGE)
