In this article, we will explain how to create a new page.
Make sure that you are creating the page in the default language (in the following way). After having done this, you can create the other translations/languages with help of the.
1. Copy an Existing Page
In order to make sure all basic styling and lay-out is kept the same in your whole website, we recommend to always copy or duplicate an existing page. In this way you make sure it entails all the important elements all pages on your website have, and pages stay coherent.
- Find an existing page within your website that comes closest to the layout of the page you want to create and holds the elements that you want your new page to have as well
- Go to the back-end > Pages > All Pages
- Find the page you would like to duplicate. Once you hover over it, a menu below the title of the page will appear:
- Click on ‘Duplicate This’.
- Now, a copy of the page will appear in the Pages overview, which says ‘Draft’ behind the title. This is the page you can now edit and change.
2. Edit the Copied Page
- Click on ‘Quick Edit’ below the title. Here you can change the title of the page, as well as the URL-slug. After doing so, press ‘Update’ on the right side, to save your changes
- Then go ahead and edit your page in Elementor, by pressing ‘Edit with Elementor’ beneath the title. Need help editing the content on the page? Read this article: How to Edit a Page (and its Content)
- Once you are done restyling the page and editing the content, do not forget to press ‘Publish’ on the bottom of the page, when you want to publish the page.You can alsosave the page as a draft, when you are still editing the content, by pressing the arrow next to ‘Publish’:
3. Creating Translations for the Page
As explained before, you should only create new pages in the above-explained manner, for the default language. As you most likely would also like to create the page in other languages than the default language, then you should do this through the WPML-plugin (a.k.a. the translation tool).
How to do this, is explained in the following article: WPML – Translation & Language Management.
