Add a new page

Select ‘pages’ from the lefthand menu in the content management system of your website. And then click ‘add new’.

Name/publish the page

At the top of the newly created page is a text box (not easy to see if you don’t know what you are looking for! See below where we have titled the page ‘Demo Page’. Give your page a title and click ‘publish’. Don’t worry, the page will not be visible on the front end, until you link it into the menus of your website.

Edit Slug (optional) / Select Divi

Beneath the ‘publish’ button, select the document tab in the righthand column. From here you can set the url for the page. The permalink for the page, attractively called the url-slug! Is how you control the page address. For example if the url slug is about-us, the full address for this page on your website would be https://yourdomainname.com/about-us.

If you don’t set the slug, WordPress will use your page title to set one for you. If SEO (search engine optimisation) is important to you, we’d recommend ensuring your URL is keyword rich. Click ‘update’ when you have made any changes.

Select Build page with Divi

To edit the page content, use the inbuilt Divi Editor. Click the purple ‘Edit with the Divi Builder’ button.
