Part 1 : An Introduction to the Basics

A tutorial with a few short videos to show you where to start, when accessing your website and getting ready to make changes.

First Things First

How to access your website. Go to your own website address and type-wp-admin at the end for example  www.mywebsitename.com/wp-admin. You will be shown a white wordpress box with a space for your username and password, complete these with the details that have been set up for you. click the remember me box to make it easier for you next time. then hit the blue button and you will be in. 

Getting To The Pretty Part (the front end) Of Your Website.

After logging in to your website. WordPress immediately takes you to your dashboard. We will be making most of our website changes on the “front end,” so here I show you how to find the visit site button that takes you to the front of your website.

Do You Have a Live Site or a Test Site?

If you are working on a live site you need to know how to work this plug in. You will know if you are on a live site as your web address will be http://www.mywebsite.com. If you are on a test site your site will begin with http://217.199.187.200/yourwebsite.com. Whilst you are logged in the plugin will allow you to see the website, whilst visitors see a coming soon page. Just remember to switch it off when you are ready to go live.
