My WordPress Tutorial

In this tutorial you will learn how to change the name of your pages/tabs on your website and how they are ordered. (NOTE: THIS METHOD SHOULD WORK FOR ALL WORDPRESS PLATFORMS.)

Dashboard>Pages

1. Click the ‘Pages’ tab in the left hand column on your Dashboard (PURPLE).
2. To change the page/tab name simply replace the existing name with the new one (GREEN).
3. If you are changing the page/tab name and want the permalink (name that appears in the URL) to match the new name, you must manually change the permalink (BLUE). NOTE: IF YOU DO CHANGE THE PERMALINK YOU MUST CHANGE THE LINK LOCATION WHEREVER IT IS USED TO AVOID A BROKEN LINK.
4. To change the page/tab order locate ‘Page Attributes’ on the right hand side of the page you are editing (ORANGE).
5. Under ‘Page Attribute’ locate ‘Order’ (RED).
6. You order your pages by number (ascending). NOTE: IF YOUR WEBSITE IS SET TO HAVE YOUR BLOG (OR ANY OTHER PAGE) AS THE DEFAULT ‘LANDING PAGE’ THEN YOUR PAGE ORDER WILL BEGIN AFTER THE DEFAULT PAGE.
7. Hit the ‘Update’ button.
