… omg… I’m so embarrassed… lol. I wasn’t publishing (Insert blushing face here…).

Thank you… I’m going to quietly leave now for a little while, and hope that no one remembers me and this whole embarrassing situation! ??

Thanks so much Moodles.

Gratefully yours,

Hi Esmi,

There’s nothing but the template up – but here it is:https://theweddingcoach.ca/

Hi Moodles,

I don’t want more than one page with the same name. I want all different pages with different tabs representing each – like on a regular website (not just a blog).

All of this seems far more complicated than I bargained for… ugh.

I built my own website on iWeb and it’s been doing fine, but it is not SEO’d, so that’s why I decided to switch to WordPress… but so far, it’s not been easy at all. I’ve spent HOURS trying to just get new menu/tabs/pages – whatever you want to call them – and to no avail.

Currently I can only seem to get ‘Home’ and ‘About’ as separate pages/tabs. I see on sample templates that there are parent pages, child pages etc., but I just don’t know if I can do what I want to do.

I don’t write code, or even understand it for that matter, so the links you sent are like reading Sanskrit! Lol… am I in over my head?

Thanks again Moodles…

When I say ‘pages’, I mean, ‘About’, ‘Products’, ‘Services’, ‘Home’, ‘Contact’ etc…

I can’t seem to add more/separate tabs or pages with these titles, just seemingly stationary blog posts, which I think is the action or purpose of the ‘pages’ function.

Does this make sense? Is it even possible to have more than 2 or 3 ‘tabs’ for Products, Services, Contact etc.?

Thanks for your message Moodles!

I had tried the ‘Add New’ prior to posting this message and when it didn’t work, I searched under the ‘help’ option. Here’s what I got:

“Pages are similar to to Posts in that they have a title, body text, and associated metadata, but they are different in that they are not part of the chronological blog stream, kind of like permanent posts. Pages are not categorized or tagged, but can have a hierarchy. You can nest Pages under other Pages by making one the “Parent” of the other, creating a group of Pages.

Managing Pages is very similar to managing Posts, and the screens can be customized in the same way.

You can also perform the same types of actions, including narrowing the list by using the filters, acting on a Page using the action links that appear when you hover over a row, or using the Bulk Actions menu to edit the metadata for multiple Pages at once.”

So technically, it’s telling me I can only post ‘pages’ in a similar way to a post – not a new ‘tab’ option, which is what I want. I did try it out – just to make sure, and it is in fact coming up like a blog post…

Is this a function of the theme I chose, or is this standard to WP in general?
