You can perform this exercise only when the need comes.

Creating a parent page

It is just like creating any other page in WordPress.

Come on, let’s work on it.

Creating a child page

Creating a child page is just like creating any other page in WordPress.

But we must perform one additional step before we hit the publish button.

We need to assign a parent page for the child page.

We can achieve this by using the “Parent Page” option.

It is located inside the “Page Attributes” section of the “Settings” sidebar:

If you notice, there is a selection box underneath the “PARENT PAGE” label.

If you click on it, a dropdown will open up with a list of pages on your website.

You can select any page as a parent page for the child page we are creating.

Finally, click on the “Publish” button to save the changes.

You can follow the same process when assigning a child page to another child page.

This is the only way to form the “parent-child” relationship between the pages.

I now went ahead and created a few other child pages

If we now go back to the “All Pages” screen to indicate that a page is a child page, WordPress adds a double-dash next to its page name:

That’s all.

In the next lesson, we will discuss the need for a privacy policy page.
