Changing text on your website pages

This guide shows how to change text on your website without breaking layout or structure. It covers the safe way to edit paragraphs and headings using WordPress blocks.

You will learn where page text lives, how to click into it, and what not to touch. Small changes done the right way keep the page looking the same while the words update.

This is the place to start if you want to fix wording, update details, or make quick content changes.

Updating Title Text on Your Page

Safe and simple title editing instructions

In this part you will learn how to edit titles and headings on your website using Kadence Advanced Text blocks. You will see how to click the title, change the wording, adjust the text safely and avoid touching design settings that control spacing, colours or layout.

How to Edit Titles (Advanced Text Block)

Step 1
Open the page you want to edit in the WordPress editor.

Step 2
Scroll to the title or heading you want to change.

Step 3
Click directly on the text. A blue outline will appear around the block.

Step 4
Start typing your new title. You can delete the old text or replace it completely.

Step 5
Do not change the block settings on the right side. These control design and layout.

Step 6
Check your spelling and text spacing.

Step 7
Repeat the same steps for all other titles or subtitles on the page.

Your design will stay intact as long as you only change the written text inside the block.

Some titles may be locked to prevent layout damage. If clicking does nothing, the block may be inside a locked section or nested block. Try clicking slowly and directly on the text. If it still does not allow editing, your designer may need to unlock the specific block for you.

This usually happens if a styling setting was changed by accident. Do not use the right sidebar for title editing. If spacing or size looks wrong, press Undo. If the issue appears after saving, use Revisions to restore an earlier version.

It is better not to. Title colours and styles are part of the site-wide design system. Changing them can break consistency across pages. If you truly need a colour change, ask your designer to adjust it globally so your site remains uniform.

This is normal. The editor uses a simplified preview. The live site uses full theme styling, which may alter spacing or the exact visual look. Refresh the live page to make sure your update appears correctly. If something looks broken, clear your browser cache and check again.

Yes, but only as plain text. If the pasted text carries hidden formatting, it can change your title style or cause spacing problems. To avoid this, press Ctrl+Shift+V (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+V (Mac) to paste without formatting.

Updating Written Content

Clear steps to update any text block

In this part you will learn how to edit normal text using WordPress Paragraph blocks. You will see how to click the text, change the wording, add new lines and replace outdated content without affecting the page layout or design.

How to Edit Paragraph Text

Step 1
Open the page in the WordPress editor.

Step 2
Find the paragraph you want to edit. Paragraph blocks are simple text sections.

Step 3
Click directly inside the text to activate the block.

Step 4
Type your new text. You can delete, rewrite, shorten or expand the content.

Step 5
Press Enter if you want to create a new line inside the same block.

Step 6
Paste new text only as plain text to avoid hidden formatting.
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + V
Mac: Cmd + Shift + V

Step 7
Do not edit spacing, colours or typography settings unless instructed. These are design settings.

Repeat these steps for each paragraph on the page.

The block may not be selected. Click slowly and directly inside the text until the typing cursor appears. If the block still does not activate, it may be locked or nested inside another structure. In this case, you may need to click the small breadcrumb navigation at the top of the editor and select the correct block. If none of this works, your designer can unlock the block for you.

Text from Word, email or other websites often includes hidden formatting that changes colours, spacing or fonts. Always paste as plain text using Ctrl+Shift+V or Cmd+Shift+V. If formatting issues appear, press Undo and paste properly.

Yes. Press Enter at the end of any paragraph to create a new block. Keep your text simple and do not add new layout elements such as rows or columns. If you need a completely new section with special formatting, ask your designer to add it.

The editor shows a simplified preview. Your live site uses full theme styling, so spacing and alignment may appear slightly different. After editing, check the live page by refreshing it. If it still looks wrong, clear your browser cache.

Make sure you clicked Update before leaving the page. If the changes appear in the editor but not on the live website, refresh the live page. If the update still does not show, your caching plugin or hosting cache may need a refresh. Contact your designer for help if needed.
