How to Edit or Change a WordPress Page or Post

The greatest advantage of WordPress is that it allows you to easily edit a web page or blog post without a lot of hassle. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Go to the Manage section.

After logging in, you will be at the Dashboard. Select ‘Manage’ from the navigation bar running across the top of your Dashboard. Click the thumbnail image below to see how.

Step 2: Select what you want to edit.

The Manage link will bring you to a list of blog posts. If you want to edit one of these, just search through the list and click the title of the one you wish to edit.

If you want to edit a page, just click the word ‘Pages’ now located just under the Manage link. This will bring you to a similar index of Pages. Just select the title of the page you wish to edit.

Step 3: Edit the page.

All of the content you added previously to your page or post will be displayed. Just click in the field to make any necessary changed.

Step 4: Save!

You don’t want to lose all of that hard work you did! Be sure to save often by clicking the ‘Save’ button located on the right column.
