How to Manage Pages in WordPress

Pages are used for static content such as About Us, Contact, Services and other parts of your website that do not typically change frequently. This guide explains how to create, edit, organise, and delete pages in modern WordPress using the Block Editor (Gutenberg).

3. Viewing and Editing Existing Pages

Pages can be organised into hierarchies using the Parent and Order options, useful for creating multi-level menus.
