Edit Page in WordPress

4. In the editing area, you need to basically add a title, content, and then publish the page.

For example, at the “Visibility” part, you can choose to let the page visible for the public, make it private, or password protect it.

Depending on what theme and plugins you might have, there could be more meta boxes with more features.

You can also notice that, in my example, the URL slug is the same as the title of the page.

In order to have user and SEO-friendly URLs like that, which is recommended, you need to properly set up your permalink structure after installing WordPress.

It’s also a good SEO practice to remove stop words from your links, whenever possible.

That’s a wrap
