Adding Pages

In Astro Church, the Pages collection controls both your sites content and its navigation structure. Follow these steps to create a new top-level page.

1. Navigate to Pages: Open your project in Astro-Church CMS and select Pages from the left-hand sidebar. Click the Add an entry button.
2. Define the Title and Order
   • Title: Enter the display name. This appears in your navigation menu and the browser tab.
   • Order: Assign a number to set this page’s position in the menu. Lower numbers come first.
3. Optional: Select the Page Type:
   • Select a type (blog, events, or sermons): If you want this page to act as an automated archive for a specific collection.
   • Leave it blank: If you want to create a standard content page (e.g., “About”).
   • Note: Each special type can be used only once across your entire site.
4. Add Your Content: Write your content in the Body section using the Markdown editor.
   • Note: If you selected a Type in the previous step, the body content will be ignored.
5. Save and Publish: Review your settings and click Save. Your new page will now be live and automatically added to your sites navigation menu.

Deployment Required

Changes to your site are not instant. Your site will automatically “redeploy” once every 24 hours. To see your changes immediately, you must trigger a manual deploy.
