About Lesson
Unlike posts, pages in WordPress are meant for static content. They do not appear in the blog feed and are typically used for providing information about your business or organization.

Create a New Page: Click on the ‘Add New’ button at the top of the page.
-
Enter Page Details:
- Enter a title for your page in the top text box.
