Here, you can restrict your WordPress to one or all authors (meaning: Do you want your posts only or do you want posts from all your authors). Then click “Download Export File”, this export file is in WXR format (WordPress extended RSS) which will include all the information needed for your new WordPress to import the old WordPress. Make sure you know where you saved this file, because you will need it later on.

Now log on to your new WordPress admin, and click on TOOLS >> IMPORT >> and choose “WordPress”.


As you can see above, the import file is restricted by a size limit of 12MB, which is why I recommended you delete all the stuff you didn’t need on your new site.

After the file is uploaded, WordPress will give you the option to create new users/ authors of which you have had before. Or you can simply “map to an existing user”, which means all the posts will be mapped to your selected user.
Also, make sure you selected the box that says “download and import file attachments”.

And that’s about it, “Have fun!” with your WordPress (new and old)!

After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a “Settings” link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, on the same sidebar, under Settings you’ll find something called Permalinks.

Click on it, and it will take you to a page and if you read through, it will tell you a little about these Custom URLs or as I like to call them Simple URLs. So here you can basically change your URLs and customize them so that they can look a little more simple.

As you can see above, I have chosen the third setting Month and name which means that my URL will have a month and a post name after my site’s name. But you can choose anything you like. You can also make up your very own setting, all you need to do is select “Custom Structure” where you can manually change the URL’s to whatever suits you. If you need to know some more tags other than those given, just click on the link on the top of the page where it says Number of tags are available, this link will lead you to a WP Codex page which explains more about the tags you can use for your custom URLs.

After you have chosen the setting you want, click on the Save Changes and WP will automatically change ALL your post and page URLs to the setting you have chosen.

That’s about everything you need to know about post URLs. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on a comment.

After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a Pages link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, it will take to the Pages that you have posted on your WordPress. Now don’t worry if yours was empty, it supposed to be that way, because you haven’t posted any pages before.
Now on the sidebar, you’ll find an Add New link under Pages, click it to add a new page.

Now as you can see, you have many options on your page, here’s what all of them mean.

1. As it says on the image, this is where you add a title to your page… The URL of the page will be determined from here. For example, I want to create a page called “Contact Me”. So in the space given I will add the title “Contact Me”, note that capitalizing letters won’t effect your URL as for other symbols such as “? ! * % $” and so on.
   Now if you have already made your URLs setting to be “simple” as I described on my “Simple URLs” tutorial, then this setting should apply to your pages as well as your posts.
2. This setting is the same that you have for your posts, you can edit your page content visually or by using HTML”.
3. These buttons make your editing a little easier, just hover (place your mouse over them) over one of them to know what they are for.
4. This is simply where you place your page content, you can post text, links, pictures, videos… etc.
5. This is basically where you can make more settings for your page. For example, you can save your page as a Draft for later use, you can Preview your page the same way other people will view it, you can Schedule your page to be published at a given time, you can also choose to set your page Visibility to be Private or Password Protected.
6. This button is what you click when you are completely done with your page, when you click this, it makes your page visible to whoever you wish it to be.
   Don’t worry if you click this and you forgot to add something you wanted to add, because you can simply Edit your page after it’s been published.
7. This is a setting is for the Folder Effect that allows you to have Parent Pages and Sub-Pages.
   A “Parent Page” acts as a folder to allow other pages to be included within the parent or “Main” page.
   For example, you have a page called “Downloads” which includes other pages such as “Brushes”, “Scripts”, “Smiley’s” and so on. So this means that my “Downloads” page is a Parent Page and the other pages are Sub-Pages. This is how my URL will look like:
   • For the Parent page: http://mysite.com/downloads/
   • For the Sub-page: http://mysite.com/downloads/brushes/

   Now to make this Folder Effect work, you can simply leave this option aside if you are creating a Parent page, or you can choose a page from the drop-down list if you are creating a Sub-page. (This list includes all your WP pages)!
   Using this setting makes your pages more organized for you and for your visitors. Here’s how my little drop-down list looks like after I made all my pages using the Folder effect. As you can see below, the Parent pages are clear and the Sub-pages are organized right under their Parents.
   

8. This is for adding Custom Fields to your page, it’s a little bit more advanced for WP beginners. And hopefully I will make a tutorial about it later on.
9. Finally, this is for comments, you can either Allow them or Close them.

Now That You Know How To “Add” A Page, Here’s How To “Edit” Them After They Have Been Published

After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a Pages link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, it will take to the Pages that you have posted on your WP.

Now on the sidebar, you’ll find an Edit link under Pages, click it to edit an existing page. And you can simply choose a page you want to edit.

When you click on it and it will take to your page. You can simply edit any setting or content you like, and then when you’re done just click Update Page which looks like this.

Now That You Know How To “Create” & “Edit” WordPress Pages, Now I’m Going To Show You How To “Delete” An Unwanted Page
After you log on to your WP admin, on the dashboard you’ll find a Pages link on the left sidebar. Once you click it, it will take to the Pages that you have posted on your WordPress.
This will take you to a list of the pages you have already published before.

Notice that when you hover (place your mouse pointer) over any page, some text will appear under the page title, like this.

Now just click Delete to delete the page you don’t want anymore. Note that once you delete a page, you cannot recover it anymore!

That’s about everything you need to know to get started on posting WordPress pages on your website. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on a comment.
