Pages are static. They are a good way to publish information that doesn’t change much, like an “About” page. Pages appear in the Pages widget and in tabs/links across the top of some themes. Pages are not associated with a date/time like posts.

At times, pages are confused with posts. See Post vs. Page for an explanation of the differences.

Writing a New Page

There are two ways to start writing a new page.

You can click Pages->Add New in the left menu.

Or you can select New Page from the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the administration screens.

See our documentation on the Page Screen for more details.

How to Find the Page ID

You can find the Page ID in the edit post or edit page URL. For example, the page ID for the following example is “1234.”
