You will undoubtedly need to add more pages to your website. There are a couple of ways to add new pages to your website.

Create:

The first way is to create a new child page or sub-page of the page you are currently on. Click the Create link on the left side of the blue Admin Bar across the top of your website.

Add Page:

For the second method of creating a page, start by selecting Pages found in the dark gray Admin Menu running down the left side of your screen. Then click the blue Add Page button near the upper right corner of the new page.

Page Type:

Next, you will need to choose a Page Type. This will determine what kind of information you will place on the page. You will find that there are several page types.

  • Page - The "page" type creates an editable web page that accepts text, Images, links, and more.
  • Blog - The Blog page type is specific to adding content automatically from the Blog whenever it is updated.
  • Calendar - The Calendar page type adds a complete calendar updated from the Events Collection.
  • Media - The Media page type allows you to automatically add all media directly from the Media Collection.
  • Store - The Store page type will show your items for sale via the Store Collection.
  • Forwarder - The "Forwarder" page type lets you send visitors directly to a different page within your site or another website's URL.

Layout:

The next step is to select a Layout for the new page. Your layout choice will affect the page's basic appearance: if it uses the carousel if it has a side column, etc. The icons can be confusing unless you know how to interpret them. This is not a complete list, but it does include the most common layouts:

Open (white) header boxes allow you to add "Featured Images" in the page settings that show in the page header.

 

Closed boxes represent areas that do not allow for  "Featured Images". The theme will have a background color and typically a title that shows.

 

Larger boxes with arrows (<  >) to indicate a carousel. This would be a typical home page layout with a carousel.

 

Title:

Add your title and any content you wish. Click the blue Publish button in the upper right corner of the web page.

Parent Page:

To make this page show as a primary navigation item, set the parent page to "Home"; otherwise, you will want to choose any other editable page of your website to be the parent

Edit and Publish:

Finally, you can "Publish" the page at any time. Edit the page to add and modify any content like any other page. Learn more about editing >>

Protect your Page:

Password protect a page with a simple password or require a user log to view the page contents. Start by going to the page you want to secure and editing it. Then follow these steps:

  1. In the Page Settings column on the right, at the top, select the "Advanced" tab.
  2. Under the "Advanced" tab look for and click the "Edit" link of the "Access: Inherit - Edit" line.
  3. Uncheck the "Inherit Permission" check box.
  4. You will have two options for limiting access to the page. You can select one or the other options or use both options together.
    1. Password - Type in a single password and give that password to all the people who should have access to this page. You can change the password at any time in the future.
    2. The "Require User Level" check box selects a user group that should have access to this page. The User Level you select will determine what users can view the page.
      • Admin - Only logged-in Admin-level users can see this page's contents.
      • Contributor - Anyone who is a Contributor or Admin level can log in and see this page's contents.
      • Viewer - Anyone with a unique login for the website can see this page's contents.
      • Correspondent - Since Correspondents can not log in, this option is pointless.
    3. There is a third "Require Subscription" option, which is part of a specific feature built for Conference and Union websites. This option should not be used unless you have the "Subscription" Collection on your website.
  5. Select the blue "Done" button and then "Publish" the page.
