The Pages window provides information about the pages of the site. It is thus possible to know at a glance how many pages there are in the site and on this number, how many are online, in draft mode or have been created by yourself or others. WordPress also provides sorting, filtering and search tools.
Reminder : By default, published pages or posts are not automatically added to a menu in WordPress. It is therefore up to the webmaster to add them manually.
Sorting pages
By default, pages are displayed in alphabetical order.
- Double-click the word Title in the column header to display the pages in reverse alphabetical order.
- Click on the word Date in the column header to display the pages in reverse chronological order (the last published pages are displayed first). Click a second time to display the pages in chronological order
- It is not possible to sort pages by author, only filter them.
Filtering pages
WordPress allows you to filter pages according to different criteria.
To display only
- The pages you are the author of: Click on Mine
- Pages currently online: Click on Published
