00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
In this lesson, we are going to apply what we've learned thus far, by setting up our pages, posts, site logo and navigation menu.
2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
First up, let's create our pages.
3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I'll make my way to pages, click on add new page.
4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000
And then once I do that, I will be able to add or select a pattern that comes with my theme.
5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
And I'm using the 2024 default theme.
6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So I'll go ahead and select a pattern that appeals to me.
7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And name it home.
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
After publishing, I'll make my way back to pages and add my next page.
9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
This time, I'm not going to choose a pattern and I'll name this page blog.
10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Next, I'm going to create an about page and select the relevant pattern.
11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And lastly, I will also create a contact page without choosing a pattern.
12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Now I have my pages in place.
13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So next, I'm going to make my way to settings and click on reading.
14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And for my homepage display, I will select a static page and set my home page as my static home page.
15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And my blog page as my posts page.
16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Just a reminder, if you have selected your latest posts for your homepage display, you will modify the blog home template for this homepage or front page, as no page has been created.
17
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Please note, when we open up our static homepage and open the settings sidebar, we will notice that this page has been assigned to the page template or the default page template.
18
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And my blog page or posts page has been assigned to the blog home template and this cannot be changed.
19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And then we'll also notice that my other pages have also been assigned to the general or default page template, the same as my home page.
20
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Next, let's shift our attention to posts and as you will notice, I've already created two posts as well as categories and tags.
21
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Just a reminder, categories are used to classify content into main topics or sections and tags are like labels that give specific details about content.
22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,815
As an example, I'm going to go ahead and add a new post.
23
00:02:52,815 --> 00:02:58,000
The post is about New York and then I will add some dummy content.
24
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Thereafter, I will open up the settings sidebar and select the relevant category.
25
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
In this case, travel.
26
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
And I will add a new tag, namely city.
27
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Lastly, I will set the featured image or the post thumbnail.
28
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
The featured image is of course the representative image for your post.
29
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And once set, we can hit publish and then view our three posts with their relevant categories and tags.
30
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Next, let's take a closer look at the navigation menu and make our way to appearance and then click on editor.
31
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
This will open up the site editor.
32
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:57,000
And on the right, we will notice our homepage and if we open up our homepage, we will see the dummy content or the pattern that we added when we created the page.
33
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And at the top, we see the header pattern provided by our theme.
34
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And if we try to edit this header, we will see a message that says edit your template to edit this block.
35
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So let's go ahead and click on edit template.
36
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
And now we can edit the header for the page template.
37
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Please note this header will also be found on the blog home template.
38
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So if we make any changes to this header in the page template, it will also automatically update in the blog home template.
39
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
As we can see, we have our navigation menu top right.
40
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And the great thing is this navigation menu was added automatically when we created our pages.
41
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:49,000
When we select our navigation menu and open up the list view, we will notice that the navigation items are still part of a page list.
42
00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So to change this, click on edit in your settings sidebar to detach the page list so that you can manage navigation items individually.
43
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,600
Once detached, you can use the list view to reorder navigation items.
44
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Or you can use the arrows of the navigation block toolbar to reposition items where you want them.
45
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Next, I've decided to add social links to my navigation menu.
46
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,000
So when I click on the insert of the navigation block, I will insert a social icons block and then select the relevant social media platforms.
47
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
In this case, X and Instagram.
48
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
And don't forget to add the relevant URLs.
49
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:53,000
When you select the navigation block, you can click on the three vertical dots in your settings sidebar to create a new menu or select one of your existing menus.
50
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:03,000
When you select settings, you will be able to change the justification or alignment as well as the orientation of your navigation menu.
51
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Below that, you can also select a hamburger menu that will appear when your site is viewed on a smaller device.
52
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
When you click on styles, you have a variety of options to style your navigation menu further.
53
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Next, let's talk about the site logo block.
54
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
As you will notice, the header pattern that was provided by my theme includes a site logo block.
55
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Click on the site logo block to add a new image from your media library or to upload one directly from your computer.
56
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
I will go ahead and upload a logo that I've already added to my desktop.
57
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And then I will enlarge it slightly.
58
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Next, I would also like to add my navigation menu to my footer.
59
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:00,000
So when we scroll down, we will notice that there are some dummy content below Quick Links, which was part of my default footer pattern that came with my theme.
60
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:12,000
So when I open the list view and select the navigation block, I can click on the three vertical dots in my settings sidebar and then select the relevant navigation menu.
61
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Now my navigation menus are in place in my header and footer.
62
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:32,000
And as mentioned before, if we make our way to the blog home template, which is the template for my posts page, we will see that the header and the footer are the same.
63
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Once we have all these elements in place, we want to decide on an overall style for our website.
64
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,000
So when we make our way to styles, you can customize the typography, colors and layout of your site.
65
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Or if you click on browse styles, you'll be able to see a zoomed out view of all the different style combinations that come with your theme.
66
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I will go ahead and select the rust style as an example.
67
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Now that we have our pages, posts, navigation menu, site logo and style in place, we can go ahead and start adding content to our pages and modifying some of the patterns that we've added.
68
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And for a page like our contact page with no pattern, we can start building from scratch.
69
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And to modify how we want our posts to be displayed, we need to make our way to the blog home template.
70
00:08:48,000 --> 00:09:01,000
And when we open up our blog home template, we can customize our blog page as well as the query loop block to decide how we want our blog posts or dynamic content to be displayed.
