What are Pages in WordPress?
Pages in WordPress are static content elements primarily used to display information that remains relatively constant over time. They are not time-sensitive and are not part of the blog’s chronological content flow. Pages are usually organized hierarchically, with parent and child pages, allowing you to create a structured site layout. Some common examples of pages include the ‘About Us,’ ‘Contact,’ and ‘Privacy Policy’ sections of a website.
Key features of pages in WordPress:
- Hierarchical structure: Pages can have parent and child pages, enabling you to create a multi-level structure for your site.
- No categories or tags: Unlike posts, pages do not support categories or tags, as they are not intended for chronological or topical organization.
- Independent of the blog feed: Pages do not appear in your site’s blog feed, RSS feed, or archive pages, as they are not part of the blog’s chronological content flow.
- Custom templates: You can create and assign custom templates to pages, allowing for greater design flexibility and control.
