Adding / Editing Pages

Overview

Pages in WordPress are used for content such as "About Us", "Contact Us", "Store Locations", "Shopping Landing Pages"....  They are used for content that is more static, in essence pages are used for non-blogging content.

Most likely all of your pages will be created prior to your site going live and you will just be editing existing content.  Pages are also where your Shopping Products in Store Manager are tied to your site.  There are a few things you will want to avoid when working within the pages section of WordPress.  I will list these out below.

Here's what you'll need to know when editing or adding a new page.

Log into WordPress > Pages

  1. Click All Pages if you want to edit content
  2. Click Add New if you are adding a New Page

All Pages:

When you click on All Pages you'll get a quick overview of the pages in your site.  One great feature of this overview is for you to see if the Meta Description (SEO by Yoast) has been filled out.

Adding New Page:

  1. Click on Add New
  2. Fill in Title & Content
  3. Insert Media (Images) where needed
  4. Fill in SEO by Yoast Title & Meta Description
  5. Publish or Save as Draft

Unlike Posts - you don't need to check off categories or add a Featured Image.

Adding Images within a Page:

When you add an image within a page remember the following:

Fill out the Display Settings

  • Alignment
    • None : text will be above or below the image
    • Left : Image is to the left and text to the right
    • Right : Image is on the right and text on the left
    • Center : Image is in the center of the pag
  • Link to: Pick one of the following drop-downs
    • Custom URL - Link the image to a product, department...within your site
    • None : If the image is only a lifestyle image no link needed
  • Size : Depending on the size of the original image you'll have the following options
    • Full Size
    • Medium
    • Thumbnail

Editing Images within Pages:

Click on the page you'd like to edit.  To edit the image simply do the following:

  1. Click on the Image you'd like to replace
  2. Click on the Remove Icon.
  3. Be sure to put your cursor where you'd like the image to live
  4. Click on Add Media and follow the directions listed above.
  5. Once you have inserted the correct image Update the page

*REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CHECK THE SITE AFTER YOU'VE MADE ANY ADJUSTMENTS*

 Pay Attention to the following within pages:

  • Shortcodes : You will come across shortcodes on many of the shopping related pages in your site.  These short-codes pull in your products from Store Manager.  Be sure not to delete them.  (Short-Codes are easy to recognize they always have [brackets] around them.

  • SHOP page.  This page ties your WordPress site with Store Manager. There is no reason to edit this page

  • Permalinks : Editing the permalinks will break links on your site.
