Adding a Page to a Site

Adding and customizing pages is a key part of managing your Liferay site. You can add pages using the Pages application or through the Page Tree menu.

Note

For Liferay 7.4 U22+ and GA22+, private pages are disabled for new installations. To enable them, see Enabling Private Pages for more information.

Adding a New Page Using the Pages Application

  1. Open the Site Menu (Site Menu), expand Site Builder, and click Pages (1).

  2. To create a new page, click New and select Page (2).

    Add a page to the site.

  3. To create a child page, click Add (Add Button) next to an existing page and select Add Page.

    Click Add next to an exiting page to create a new child page.

    Tip

    Using the Actions menu (Actions Menu) next to the page, you can preview a content page draft (Liferay DXP 7.2+). These options are available for pages in draft status and users with page editing permission.

  4. Under Page Template Sets, select a Basic or Global template.

    To start with an empty content page, select the Blank master page template.

    Alternatively, select from other available templates.

    Select a Basic or Global template for your page.

  5. In the Add Page dialog, enter a name and click Add.

If you created a content page, the page editor appears for adding fragments and widgets; if you created a widget page, the page’s configuration options appear.

To learn how to configure the remaining page settings, see Page Settings UI Reference or see Configuring Page Sets to configure options for a page set.

Tip

By default, new pages are added to the navigation menu for the site. To configure this navigation menu, see Using the Navigation Menus Application.
