A WordPress page is used for publishing evergreen content—content that is not timely or that require dated updates.
Pages can be organized in a hierarchical order. For instance, you can create child pages (subpages) under a parent page. However, pages cannot be organized using tags or categories.
Child pages
The parent-child page relationship is made clear to site visitors by a sidebar navigation along the right side of the page, with the parent page labeled in red along the top and any children listed below it.
Child pages can have their own children as well, in which case those links will be nested underneath their corresponding parent pages. These “grandchildren” will only be visible when the site visitor is on their parent page.
Breadcrumbs
As a site visitor navigates between parent -> child -> grandchild pages, an additional navigational element will appear below the page title. A visitor can use this trail of “breadcrumbs” to click back through the nested levels of pages.
How to edit a page
Unless otherwise noted, you may edit the content on a page by following these steps:
- Navigate to the All Pages section of the dashboard.
- Select the name of the page you wish to edit from the list of Pages (use search if necessary)
- Select Edit below the page name
- Once in the Page Editor, click in the area you wish to change to activate the necessary blocks.
- Once you have made your edits, click Update on the top right of the screen.
