How to Add an Info Page
Say you want to add a new info page — you’ve got a list of shop policies you want your customers to know about, and they’re a little long to include in your ‘About’ page. You can make a separate ‘Policies’ page, make it a subpage of your ‘About’ page, and link it from there.
Log into your Wicked Plum page. You’ll see your Dashboard; on the left side, under ‘Pages’, click on ‘Add New’ to add a new info page.
You’ll be presented with the same interface you’d use to write a blog post; it’s just as easy to use.
Type your page title and enter your information. When you’re got it just where you want…
…you’re almost ready to go — but you still need to link it to your ‘About’ page.
On the right side of the page is the ‘Page Attributes’ widget. ‘Parent’ will be set to ‘(no parent)’. Change it to ‘About’:
and click on ‘Publish’. You’re…not quite done.
You’ll still need a link to your shop policies, or nobody will be able to find them. Since it’s a subpage of your ‘About’ page it makes sense to link it from there.
Now that you’ve published your shop policies you’ll need the link to that page. Up near the top of the screen you’ll see ‘Page published. View page.’
Click on that link, and it’ll take you to your new page. Copy the address (we’ll call it ‘http://yourshop.com/about/shop-policies/’).
Go and edit your ‘About’ page. You usually edit info pages in ‘Visual’ mode, but in this case, you’re going to want to click on the ‘HTML’ tab.
Find a good spot for a link to another page — I’d put it at the top. Mine looks like this when it’s done:
And here’s the HTML code you’ll enter into the HTML tab to make it look like that:
About | <a href=”../about/shop-policies”>Shop Policies</a>
Note that you won’t be using the entire address you copied — just the last part. This makes sense. I swear.
Go back to your Shop Policies page and enter much the same code:
<a href=”../about”>About</a> | Shop Policies
And now you have a new subpage, it’s set as a subpage to its parent page, and it’s linked so your customers can find it. Well done!
