how do I make the pages show on my site?

  • Unknown's avatar

    merrittcraft has a few pages I just created and I’d like them to appear. I do not understand the ‘draft’ to ‘schedule’ to ‘publish’ process.

    I’d like the pages to appear as tiles on the landing/homepage.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    It looks like you want to do a few things.

    For the pages, for them to be seen you need to publish them. They also need to be set to “public”. When you are adding a page in the upper right corner of the screen there is a box titled “publish” where you can change settings.

    The “draft” is a version of the page that you’ve saved, but maybe aren’t yet ready to publish. It’s there for you, but not for the general public.

    You can set a schedule to publish drafts. I haven’t done this myself, but some folks will schedule posts for their blog when they are away.

    Publish puts your efforts out there for the Internet to see.

    About the titles on your landing page. You could set up your landing page so there are a list of links. Or you can look into playing around with menus.

    Thank you! I created a homepage (I think) and I created ‘pages’ for within the site. How do I link the ‘pages’ from the homepage? i.e. use the page titles as the navigation from the homepage?

    My site uses ‘Cubic” theme which has ’tiles’ on the landing page. I have my pages set up but they are not coordinating/linking as options from each tile. Any advice?

    I think the theme is really designed for photos and blogging. So the tiles look like they come from posts with featured images.

    If you opt for a static front page you could just create links to the pages. To do this you can just click on the icon that looks sort of like a chain link. It will open a dialog box that will ask you for a URL and link text. If my explanation isn’t clear (and I am pre-coffee), this link has information.
