This article explains how to add new pages to your WordPress website on Web60.
Step 1: Log into WordPress
Your Web60 account includes WordPress access. Check your welcome email for your WordPress login details. Go to your website address followed by /wp-admin (for example: yoursite.ie/wp-admin). Enter your username and password.
Step 2: Navigate to Pages
Once logged in, you'll see the WordPress dashboard. On the left side, click Pages. This shows all existing pages on your website. Click Add New at the top of the page.
Step 3: Add Your Page Title
In the large text box at the top, type your page title. This appears as the heading on your page and in your website's navigation menu. For example: "About Us" or "Contact Information".
Step 4: Add Your Content
Click in the main content area below the title. You can type directly or paste text from another document. Use the toolbar above the content area to:
- Make text bold or italic
- Create bullet point lists
- Add headings for different sections
- Insert links to other websites
To add images, click the Add Media button above the content area. Upload images from your computer or choose from previously uploaded files.
Step 5: Set Page Settings
On the right side of the screen, you'll see the Publish box. Before publishing:
- Status: Keep as "Draft" while working, change to "Published" when ready
- Visibility: Keep as "Public" for normal pages
- Parent: Leave blank unless this page belongs under another page (like a sub-page)
Step 6: Preview Your Page
Click Preview to see how your page looks to visitors. This opens a new tab showing your page as it will appear on your website. Make changes if needed.
Step 7: Publish Your Page
When you're satisfied with your page, click the blue Publish button. Your page is now live on your website.
Adding Pages to Your Menu
New pages don't automatically appear in your website's navigation menu. To add them:
- Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress dashboard
- Select your main menu (usually called "Primary Menu" or "Main Menu")
- On the left, expand Pages and tick the box next to your new page
- Click Add to Menu
- Click Save Menu
Your new page now appears in your website's navigation.
If you're still stuck with adding pages to your WordPress website, contact Web60 support through your account dashboard or email support.
