Edit a Post

If you need to edit a post on your community website, follow these few steps. Remember, not all users will have the permissions to access the website or edit posts.

Getting Started

1. Log in to the portal area of your community website.
2. From the app dropdown menu on the dashboard, navigate to the back end--that is, the non-public area--of the website. (Your drop-down may look different from the one below.)

   

3. You're now in the WordPress dashboard of your website. Remember, WordPress is the platform your site is built on. 

4. Make sure your community name is at the top of the toolbar. If you are a member of more than one community website, hover over "My Sites" in the top left corner and from the drop-down menu, select the community whose post you want to edit.

Find a Post to Edit

1. From the menu on the left side of the screen, click on Posts.

   

2. In the Posts screen, you'll see a list of all created posts. Select the post you want to edit.

3. Click on the title to open the post.

Edit the Post

In this screen is where you can edit anything in your post. After you make an edit, be sure to click Update. If you don't, your changes will not save!

Make any of these changes:

• Change the title
• Add, change, or delete content
• Add, change, or delete images

  

• Make formatting changes (type size, bolding, lists, etc)

  

• Add or remove links

  

• Change publication date

  

• Add/change/delete categories and tags

  

Again, remember to click the blue Update button to save your changes.
