Create a New Page

To create a new Page, select Pages –> Add New Page in your Dashboard. This will take you to the Add New Page Screen. Then see Menu Navigation for steps to add the page to the menu.

Edit a Page

There are several ways you can edit an existing page:

  • Select All Pages from the left column menu to access a list of existing Pages. Here, you can sort by title or publication date.
  • If you know the title (or keywords in the title), go to All Pages and use the search bar to find it.
  • If you know the page URL and are logged into the site, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Edit link: Page Edit Link

Quick Edit Some Content

Hover over a Page title to select the Quick Edit option.

Page Edit Options

You can update many fields for the Page, including the parent item and publishing status.

Quick Edit Fields

Password Protection

There are many reasons you may want to restrict access to your website or individual pages with a password. Editors have the option of password protecting pages and posts and other higher levels of protection can be provided by College of Fine Arts Web Team.

Batch Edit Multiple Pages

Multiple Pages can be selected for deletion and for editing. A powerful bulk edit tool allows certain fields to be edited for a whole group of Pages.

To edit the content of a Page, select the Page in question by clicking on the title of the Page. This will take you to a screen that displays an editable version of that Page’s content.
