Setting up Perch

I am a beginner and I need some assistance with getting my files to appear under add/edit. I have only been able to have them show up under Master pages. I am trying to follow along with this tutorial https://grabaperch.com/products/perch, but I can’t figure out where to put my php file within the perch folder on my server.

I would strongly appreciate some assistance.

That video is more of a demo than a complete tutorial, so it may be glossing over some steps.

The actual video tutorial might be of more help: https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/swift-migrations/

I followed the directions to this video but nothing ever showed up under the add/edit section. https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/v/creating-pages/

Did your server pass the compatibility test?

If so please show us your Diagnostics Report, from under Settings in the Perch Control Panel.

What output do you get when you load one of your new pages in your browser?

Ok, great. Do the regions now appear in the control panel?
