WordPress, despite its availability, is a fairly complex CMS. It is not always clear how you can customize a particular page. However, having understood the basic principles and functionality, you can create any desired option.
Instructions
Step 1
Customize the title. This is a very important point, because in addition to being displayed in the text, it will also be shown in the title (the name of the page in the browser) and search engines. If you are optimizing a page for any key query, be sure to indicate it in this field. Remember, the optimal length is 60 characters or less.
Step 2
The next field is content. At the moment, this is the largest cell in the menu for creating and editing pages. This is where you put everything that should be displayed in the main part. For example, any text, video, pictures, or all together. For these purposes, the developers have integrated a whole editor, which in terms of quality and capabilities is not inferior even to Word.
Step 3
Another required field is called Key Settings. Here you can select the status of the page (publish, save to draft, schedule for a date), and also set the visibility. For example, you can create some kind of hidden page intended solely for the editorial staff. Here you can also find the page preview button.
Step 4
Pay attention to the "Page Attributes" field. It is especially important if you are creating a large project and you need a complex structure. Here you can choose whether the page belongs to a parent group, a ready-made template, and the order of layout. For example, the page "borscht" can be assigned to the parent group "first courses" and the template "recipe" can be selected.
Step 5
Also an important mandatory element are thumbnails - these are pictures that are displayed at the beginning of the post and on other pages. For example, in an article about a dream, you can place several images at once, but only one will fully reflect the essence and be the title. Be sure to include a title and description (preferably using a keyword for promotion).
Step 6
In addition, many webmasters use additional fields. They are added using plugins or a unique theme. The most common options are SEO add-ons. You will be able to specify a unique title for the page, as well as fill in the description and keywords meta tags. All in ONE, for example, also allows you to specify the ability to index certain parts.
Step 7
Also, additional fields often include the possibility of a page participating in certain headings and catalogs. For example, you can make this content appear somewhere in a special field in the footer of the site.
