How to create a new page on your WordPress site
The best way to create a new page, while ensuring you maintain the same styling is to duplicate a page that is similar.
- Log into your Website Admin portal by adding /wp-admin to your website (for example: https://www.your-website.com/wp-admin)
- Hover over Plugins from left sidebar and select Add New
- Search for "Duplicate Page" in search bar and install the Duplicate Page plugin (by mndpsingh287 w/ 2+ million active installations) then click Activate
- Click Pages from left sidebar
- Find the page you want to duplicate and hover over the link like example below.
- Click Duplicate This
- It will duplicate the page and it will be listed directly below that listing with the same title with the word Draft
- Hover over the duplicated page, and click Edit
- At the very top, change the title
- Below that, under Permalink, edit this to reflect the hyperlink, i.e. new-product
- Click Publish button at the very right
- Then click Frontend Editor button that is right under permalink
- It will open a visual editor of the page. As you hover over each section, you can then modify the content by clicking the pencil icon like below when a green bar shows up.
- Make sure to click SAVE when you update each section.
- To have all changes updated and reflected live on your website when you are in the Frontend Editor view, make sure to click Update at the very top right.
- Exit this screen and go back to dashboard by clicking Backend Editor
- The new page you have created will not be listed under classes yet. In order to add the newly created page to show under Classes, you will have to add it to the menu
- Hover over Appearance from the left sidebar, and from the menu the shows, select Menus
- On the left you will see Most Recent pages. Select the page you just created and click Add to Menu.
- It will be added to the very bottom of the navigation list on the right. Hover over the page you just added until you see the icon with 4 arrows and drag it to where you want the page to fall under in the navigation.
- Then click Save Menu at the bottom.
Make sure to visit the website on another tab to check that the changes you made were in fact saved.
