Wordpress Guide
Basics
To make changes to your Wordpress site, please follow these steps to log in:
1. Go to your url of your website given after your site has been created. Example: https://faculty.uccs.edu/esample/
2. To edit the site, go to the admin dashboard. The dashboard can be found by adding wp-admin to the end of your url. Example: https://faculty.uccs.edu/esample/wp-admin
3. Log in with your UCCS email and password
4. This will now bring you to the dashboard to edit the site.
When you first open the Dashboard there is a lot of content. At the top the bar contains the title of your site and a new option to create things like new pages. On the right is your profile and you can access account settings there.
On the left is the dashboard menu. It has a lot of options. Typically most users use the media, pages, and appearance tabs.
1. Visit the dashboard (https://faculty.uccs.edu/esample/wp-admin/)
2. Hover over the appearance tab on the left side of the dashboard. Select the Menus option.
3. Under Menu Structure give the new menu a name, such a Main Menu or Navigation Menu. Under Menu Settings, select Main Header Menu. Press create menu to create the base of your menu.
4.Once your menu is created, you can now add the pages you would like. Under add menu items to the left are several options. Look under pages. Then click view all. The pages you would like to add press the check box, then add to menu.
5. To set the order of the items, drag them. Note that pages named "Home" will have the icon used for them. Please also note at this time submenus are not supported due to how Wordpress theme is.
When you are done with any changes make sure to press save menu and then the changes will be reflected immediately.
Other Important Features
To add an offsite link to the menu, go to custom links and fill out the url you would like the button to link to.
Commonly an error will pop up at the top. "Breeze settings will not reflect because there is file permission issue" There is no need to worry about this error.
