Static page (not front page)

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to add a static page, and everything I look up simply aids in the process of a static FRONT page which is not what I’m looking for.

    I’m looking to place a “contact” page on my website, without the page listing the date and name of the admin by default.

    Anyone familiar with the integration of a simple static page.. ?

    The default contact page does not provide the name of the admin to visitors at the site. Each visitor will have their own information filled in IF they are currently logged in to WordPress.com. If not logged in, that information is all blank. You can test it out by visiting your own contact page from a computer that is not logged in to WordPress.com.

    See this for more on adding a Contact Form:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form/

    And for information on adding [static] Pages in general:

    Many of us have redone that contact page thinking the same thing…

    I’m using the wordpress install from my webhost.. which has a little different admin interface (wordpress.org). Is this going to be a different process then?

    Because on my contact page after adding the contact form, the page still shows this:

    Contact Us

    Even though I viewed my website from another browser where I would be considered a guest visitor.

    Yes indeed, your WordPress install at a webhost is an entirely different version of WordPress. I should have requested your URL to confirm that you were in the correct forum.

    See https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more about the differences.

    The versions are different enough that each version of WordPress has its own support documentation and forums.

    Check out the WordPress.ORG support forums here:
    https://wordpress.org/support/

    They also provide extensive documentation:

    Happy sailing in the WordPress.org seas!
