1. Check if your theme supports landing pages
- Not all WordPress themes come with a built-in landing page template. Some themes may not offer this specific option. If your theme lacks a landing page template, you can:
- Try switching to a theme that supports landing pages.
- Review the theme documentation to check if there are any specific settings for enabling landing pages.
2. Use a page builder plugin
If your theme doesn’t support landing pages, you can use page builder plugins to create a custom landing page. Popular plugins include:
- Elementor: The free version is sufficient for building custom landing pages with a drag-and-drop interface.
- Beaver Builder: Another powerful drag-and-drop page builder.
- Divi Builder: Offers flexible layout designs, allowing you to quickly create landing pages.
These plugins not only help you create standalone landing pages but also offer preset templates for easy setup.
3. Manually create a landing page
If you have some technical knowledge, you can manually create a landing page by following these steps:
- Create a new page: Go to the WordPress dashboard, then navigate to “Pages” > “Add New”.
- Set a page template: Check the “Page Attributes” on the right side. If your theme supports “Blank” or “Full-Width” templates, select one. If not, you can use the default template and manually remove unwanted elements.
- Add content: Use the Gutenberg editor or Classic editor to add the content you want for your landing page.
- Customize with CSS: If there are extra elements on the page (like sidebars or headers), you can hide them using custom CSS.
4. Install a landing page plugin
There are specific plugins designed for creating landing pages that help streamline the process. Some popular options include:
- Landing Page Builder by PluginOps: Allows you to create beautiful landing pages easily.
- SeedProd: A powerful landing page builder plugin that offers various customization options and templates.
5. Contact the theme developer or support team
If your theme is supposed to have a landing page template but you can’t find the option, it might be a configuration issue. You can reach out to the theme developer to ask if there’s a hidden setting or feature you need to enable.
With these methods, you can easily create or enable a landing page on your WordPress site. Depending on your specific needs and technical skills, choose the solution that works best for you.
