__TOC__In WordPress, you can write either posts or Pages. When you're writing a regular blog entry, you write a post. Posts, in a default setup, appear in reverse chronological order on your blog's home page. Pages are for content such as "About," "Contact," etc. Pages live outside of the normal blog chronology, and are often used to present timeless information about yourself or your site -- information that is always applicable. You can use Pages to organize and manage any content.

In addition to the generally required "About" and "Contact" Pages, other examples of common pages include Copyright, Disclosure, Legal Information, Reprint Permissions, Company Information, and Accessibility Statement.

In general, Pages are very similar to Posts in that they both have Titles and Content and can use your WordPress Theme templates files to maintain a consistent look throughout your site. Pages, though, have several key distinctions that make them quite different from Posts.

'''What Pages Are:'''<br />
* Pages are for content that is less time-dependent than Posts.
* Pages can be organized into pages and [[#Organizing_Your_Pages|subpages]].
* Pages can use different [[Page_Templates|Page Templates]] which can include [[Stepping Into Templates|Template Files]], [[Template Tags]] and other PHP code.
* Pages may have a more complex array of readily available display adjustments when using sophisticated Themes with extensive customization.
* In essence, Pages are for non-blog content. It is possible to remove all or most Posts from a WordPress installation, and thus to create a standard non-blog website.

'''What Pages are Not:'''<br />
* Pages are not Posts, nor are they excerpted from larger works of fiction. They do not cycle through your blog's main page. WordPress Plugins are available to change the defaults if necessary.
* Pages cannot be associated with Categories, yet can be assigned Tags. However, Tags on Pages are not indexed via the tag permalink. The organizational structure for Pages comes only from their hierarchical interrelationships, and not from Tags or Categories.
* Pages are not files. They are stored in your database just like Posts are.
* Although you can put Template Tags and PHP code into a Page Template file, you cannot put these into the Page or Post content without a WordPress Plugin like [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/ Exec-PHP] which overwrites the code filtering process.
* Pages are not included in your site's feed.
* Pages and Posts may attract attention in different ways from humans or search engines.
* Pages (or a specific post) can be set as a [[Creating_a_Static_Front_Page|static front page]] if desired with a separate Page set for the latest blog posts, typically named "blog."

==Creating Pages==

[[Image:Pages-AddNew-4.3.png|right|thumbnail|Pages > Add New]]To create a new Page, log in to your WordPress installation with sufficient admin privileges to create new articles. Select the [[Administration_Panels#Add_New_Page|Pages]] > [[Pages_Add_New_SubPanel|Add New]] option to begin writing a new Page.

===Organizing Your Pages===

Just as you can have subcategories within your Categories, you can also have subpages within your Pages, creating a hierarchy of pages.

For example, a WordPress site for a travel agent may feature an individual Page for each continent and country to which the agency can make travel arrangements. Under the Page titled "Africa" would be subpages for Lesotho, Cameroon, Togo, and Swaziland. Another parent Page "South America" would feature subpages of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Your site would list:
*Africa
**Cameroon
**Lesotho
**Swaziland
**Togo
*South America
**Argentina
**Brazil
**Chile

====To create a subpage====
# Go to [[Administration_Panels|Administration]] > [[Administration_Panels#Add_New_Page|Pages]] > [[Pages_Add_New_SubPanel|Add New]] panel.
# In the right menu, click the "Page Parent" drop-down menu. The drop-down menu contains a list of all the Pages already created for your site.
# Select the appropriate parent Page from the drop-down menu to make the current Page a child Page.
# Add content to the subpage.
# Click Publish when ready.

When your Pages are [[#Listing Your Pages on Your Site|listed]], the Child Page will be nested under the Parent Page. The [[Using Permalinks|Permalinks]] of your Pages will also reflect this Page hierarchy.

In the above example, the [[Using Permalinks|Permalink]] for the Cameroon Page would be:

<nowiki>http://example.com/africa/cameroon/</nowiki>

===Changing the URL of Your Pages===

To change the URL part (also referred to as "slug") containing the name of your Page, use the "Edit" (or "Change Permalinks" in older WordPress versions) button under the Page title on the [[Writing Posts|Edit screen]] of the particular Page, accessible from [[Administration_Panels#Pages|Pages]] tab of WordPress [[Administration Panels|Administration Panel]].

===Creating a List of Pages===

WordPress is able to ''automatically'' generate a list of Pages on your site within the sidebar or footer, for example, using a [[Template Tags|Template Tag]] called <tt>wp_list_pages()</tt>. See the [[Template Tags/wp_list_pages|wp_list_pages]] page for information on how to customize how WordPress displays the list of Pages on your site.

There are also WordPress Plugins that will help you display a list of Pages within in Posts and in other areas of your WordPress Theme.

==Page Templates==

Individual Pages can be set to use a specific custom [[Page_Templates|'''Page Template''']] (a WordPress Theme PHP template file, e.g., my-custom-page.php) you create within your Theme. See [[Page_Templates#Custom_Page_Template|Custom Page Templates]] for instructions on how to create a custom template file for a Page. This new Page Template will then override the default <tt>page.php</tt> Page Template included with your Theme.

== The Dynamic Nature of WordPress Pages ==

A web page can be ''static'' or ''dynamic.'' Static pages, such as a regular HTML page that you might create with Dreamweaver, are those which have been created once and do not have to be regenerated every time a person visits the page. In contrast, dynamic pages, such as those you create with WordPress, do need to be regenerated every time they are viewed; code for what to generate on the page has been specified by the author, but not the actual page itself. These use extensive PHP code which is evaluated each time the page is visited, and the content is thus generated upon each new visit.

Almost everything in WordPress is generated dynamically, including '''Pages'''. Everything published in WordPress (Posts, Pages, Comments, Blogrolls, Categories, etc...) is stored in the [[Glossary#MySQL|MySQL]] database. When the site is accessed, the database information is used by your WordPress [[Theme Development#Theme Templates|Templates]] from your current [[Using Themes|Theme]] to generate the web page being requested.

An example of a static page might be an [[Glossary#HTML|HTML]] document (without any [[Glossary#PHP|PHP]] code). The problem with purely static pages is that they are difficult to maintain. Changes you make to your WordPress settings, [[Using Themes|Themes]] and [[Theme Development#Theme Templates|Templates]] will not be propagated to pages coded only in HTML. The Page feature of WordPress was developed to alleviate this problem. By using Pages, you no longer have to update your static pages every time you change the style of your site. If written properly, your dynamic Pages will update along with the rest of your blog.

Despite the dynamic nature of Pages, many people refer to them as being static. They are actually called "pseudo-static" web pages. In other words, a Page contains ''static information'' but is ''generated dynamically''. Thus, either "static," "dynamic," or "pseudo-static" may be validly used to describe the nature of the WordPress Page feature.
