1. Click on "Pages"
2. Click "Add New"
3. Fill in the large form field at the top of the page. This field is the text that will appear on the navigation menu.
4. Write the page content right in the main text box/wysiwyg editor. (Or paste it in).
5. Fill in the "More Fields" section (on the right of the page).
6. If this page will be appearing under a main ("parent") category, you must select the parent page as your new page's parent category. You can do this in the box that appears underneath the main text box.
7. Click "Publish" (If the page was already published, the "publish button" may say something else like "re-publish".
Notes
- Do not paste text straight from Word. Copy all text into Notepad, and then cut and paste (click "allow" if you get a pop-up). Or, type everything right into the main text box. Or, click the icon that says "paste from Word" when you hover over it.
- You can save a document as a "draft" rather than publishing it. When you are ready, come back to it and publish it at a later date.
- You should manually save your work from time to time by pressing the "publish" button. However, there is an autosave feature that will occasionally save your changes so you may be able to go back if you have problems (such as a power failure or your Internet access is down).
- Basic HTML Functions: You can use the buttons along the top of the main text box to style your content. The wysiwyg editor (wysiwyg = What You See Is What You Get) is feature rich and should be easy to use. If you have difficulty with it, you may need some training classes.
- The text in the top box (where it says "Home" below "edit page" in the sample image on the previous page) is what the link text is going to look like. The navigation menu link text will sometimes use different words than the link itself.
- Be aware that adding new pages might add new menu items if the page is a top-level page. Should you not have enough room in your menu bar the layout might break once the new page is added.
For example, in the navigation menu, you would typically want the button to go to the homepage to say "Home" but it will take you to www.yourwebsite.com not www.yourwebsite.com/home/
Another example: The navigation menu says "Contact Us" but the web address is www.yourwebsite.com/contact/ and not www.yourwebsite.com/contact-us/
