How to Add a New Wagtail Page From Scratch

If videos aren't your cup of tea, the instructions to create a new app inside your Wagtail CMS site are below. Run these two commands in your terminal.

$ pipenv shell 
$ python3 manage.py startapp flex

Lastly you'll need to install the "flex" module into your Wagtail site. Open base.py and add 'flex', to your installed apps. It'll look something like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'home',
    'search',
    'flex',
    # ....
]

Then you can run your server with python3 manage.py runserver

Don't forget, when you create your new Page model, you'll need to run python3 manage.py makemigrations and python3 manage.py migrate
