How do I add a new page?

The home pages of a few groups, e.g. Trip reports, Photos, Weekly activities, In the hills include a form to create a new page in that group.

The normal process is to create a link in an existing page that will refer to the new content, and save the page with the new link. You can use the Site map for this purpose.

Then click on the new link to create the new page.

Alternative you can enter the new page in the address bar by changing the URL, e.g. by changing https://ttc.org.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TTC/HomePage to https://ttc.org.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TTC/NewPage.
