  • The authoritative structure for Pages originates from various leveled interrelationship, not from an arrangement of classification. (e.g. Labels or Categories.) 
  • Pages are not records. They are put away in your database, much the same as posts.

Be that as it may, be cautious: incorporating PHP code specifically into page or post substance may present a security issue, or a surprising mistake on your site. 
  • Pages are excluded in your site's "feeds". (e.g. RSS or Atom.) 
  • Pages and Posts can be deciphered distinctively by site guests and via web indexes. Generally, web indexes put more pertinence to time-subordinate webpage content - posts - in light of the fact that a more up to date post on a theme might be more significant than a static page.
