Adding New Pages

did you publish it??

Hey there! ??

So Pages don’t automatically display on your homepage/home blog page unless your theme is one of those that makes it so. The posts that usually automatically appear are the POSTS, not PAGES.

Do you have your Pages Widget enabled? (Go to Widgets and drag the Pages widget onto your sidebar column to enable)

If you have your Pages widget enabled and your theme is widget enabled, you should see a LINK to your page on your sidebar and/or elsewhere on your homepage.

Hopefully that made sense.

I didn’t publish it!

Yes, I have no problem posting to the Site or adding videos.

I went to Widgets and dragged the Pages Widget to Sidebar 1, then a Sidebar window opened, asking me for a Title. Then, whether I want to sort by Page Title, Page Order or Page ID (dropdown). Do I type in the new page that I created under Title?

Do I use the Exclude field that appears in this window too?

Then it says to save afterwards. Thank you very much!!

I have a problem after only experimenting what you told me, EMG.

I lost the Administrative Login that appeared on the Homepage of the Site. Also, my pages on my Site, apears as Links on the left side of the Homepage, instead of as a Heading Page on top, to click and go to! This shows up twice! Please advise, thanks!

Also, lost three links to my sire, they don’t appear on the Homepage anymore. Now all I have is what I mentioned in my previous post above.

Oh man, now when I go to my site, the Adminstrative Login isn’t there anymore. How do you enter the backend of the site now?

go to your url/wp-admin/ to get to the login screen.

when you moved the pages widget to the sidebar, you probably preempted the sidebar code…you just need to add the meta widget

this should get you going

Hi Viceng-

How do I go to url/wp-admin?

So I not only have to drag the pages widget to the Sidebar but the Meta widget too?

your wordpress blog directory/wp-admin

like example.com/wp-admin

Thanks Nazcar!

Now at the backend of the Site and need to fix what went wrong last night. Mentioned in above post!

I created a Pictures Page and wanted it to appear alongside the top of my Homepage, somewhere between where it says, Front and Contact.

If you check out the link to my site, https://dustinkeller81.com, I have two Page Categories on the left, which I didn’t want. This occured when I dragged the Page widget to the Sidebar in the Widgets section.

I originally had a Page Category there with three links below it,which I lost.

Can you tell me how I can fix all of this?

I appreciate it, very much!!

go to the widgets menu and remove the Page widget that you had moved there.

go to your widgets, check your sidebar1.

i think a page widget is defined as static in your left sidebar.
try to Remove the Page widget you dragged in your left sidebar.

Cool! Now the Site is back to where it originally was! Thanks!

Now, how do I get the “Pictures” Page (that I’ve already created) to appear at the top of the Homepage, somewhere between Front & Contact?

set the order of your pages..

url/wp-admin/edit-pages.php

set in order as you want.

Got that and here’s where the problem begins.

Do I need to Edit the Pictures page (that I already created) in any special type of way to get it to appear like the other 4?

you actually created a post and not a page. Once you copy all the stuff from the post to a new page, you shoud be all set.
