Accessing your website dashboard
How to log in so you can start making changes
Before you can edit text, images, menus, or posts, you need to access the website dashboard. This is the private area of your site where all changes are made. It is not visible to visitors and can only be opened by logging in.
This instruction explains what the dashboard is, where the login page usually lives, and what details are needed to sign in. It also shows what you should expect to see once you are inside, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
If logging in does not work, the guide covers the most common reasons. Missed passwords, wrong addresses, or expired access. This helps avoid guesswork before asking for help.
Changing text on your website pages
How to update wording without breaking layout
This instruction explains how to edit text on your website using the WordPress editor. It focuses on simple, everyday changes. Updating wording, fixing mistakes, or refreshing content while keeping the page structure exactly the same.
The guide shows where page text lives, how to select the right block, and what to avoid touching. This helps prevent common issues like broken spacing, missing sections, or headings changing size.
If you need to update information, adjust messaging, or keep content current, this is the right place to start. The steps are clear and work the same way on most WordPress websites.
What parts of your website are safe to edit
Know what you can change without breaking anything
This instruction helps you understand which areas of your website are safe to edit and which ones should be left alone. It is aimed at avoiding accidental layout issues or broken sections caused by changing the wrong elements.
The guide explains common editable areas such as text, images, and content blocks, and contrasts them with structural elements that control layout and behaviour. Knowing the difference makes everyday updates easier and less stressful.
If you are unsure whether something should be edited, this instruction gives you a clear reference before making changes.
Updating button text and links
How to change buttons without breaking links
Buttons guide visitors around your website. They often link to contact pages, booking forms, or important information. Changing button text or links is common, but it needs to be done carefully.
This instruction explains how buttons work in WordPress and where to find their settings. It shows how to update text, change link destinations, and check that everything opens correctly after editing.
If you are updating offers, changing page flow, or correcting links, this guide helps you make those changes safely and with confidence.
Working with images on your website
How to update images without breaking layout
Images affect both design and performance. Replacing them without care can cause spacing issues, stretched visuals, or slow loading pages. This instruction focuses on doing image updates the right way.
The guide explains how images are uploaded, where they are stored, and how to replace existing images safely. It also covers basic checks like file size, proportions, and alignment so pages keep their shape.
If you need to update photos, banners, or visual sections, this instruction helps you make changes with confidence and avoid common mistakes.
Previewing and saving your website changes
How to check updates and restore earlier versions
Before publishing any change, it is worth checking how it looks. Previewing lets you see updates without showing them to visitors. This helps spot problems before they go live.
This instruction explains how preview works in WordPress, when changes are actually saved, and how updates affect the live website. It also covers restoring previous versions if something was changed by mistake.
If you want to edit with confidence and avoid permanent errors, this guide shows the safest way to review, save, and roll back changes.
Copy pages and sections
Reuse existing layouts without breaking structure
This guide explains how to duplicate full pages and reuse individual sections without damaging your layout. It shows the correct way to select row layouts, avoid pasting inside the wrong blocks, and insert sections at the top level of the page structure.
Use this when building new pages, blog posts, or repeating sections across the site. The focus is on keeping spacing, alignment, and mobile layout intact.
