The WordPress Dashboard is your central hub for creating and managing content on your site. It also allows you to customize and control the overall appearance of your website.
To begin editing your Wordpress site you will need to access your Wordpress Dashboard.
-
The quickest way to access your Wordpress Dashboard is to go to create.twu.ca and sign in if prompted.
-
Once signed in, in the top left hand corner, click My Sites, find your site on the dropdown list and click it.
Note: If you are ever prompted to login to your site, please use the
Click to Login with TWU Email link. This will redirect you to
create.twu.ca where you can find your site in the
My Sites dropdown (see image above).
-
If you need to adjust the privacy settings of your site, navigate to Settings > Reading. Here, you can select your site's visibility level.
-
There are various options you can choose to control your privacy. If you wish for your site to only be visible visitors from TWU you can select the "Visible only to registered users of this network"* option.
To set your homepage, go to Settings > Reading. Under the Your homepage displays section, choose between:
-
Setting a homepage that just displays your latest posts (Blog format) (This is not recommended.)
-
Setting a specific page to display, and setting another page to display your posts.
Note: If you haven't created a your own homepage, your site will use the default option that came with your template. You can either modify the default page or create your own, and set it in your Reading Settings.
To manage your user profile, navigate to the Users > Profile section.
Here, you can update your personal information, change your password, and customize your profile settings.
-
Update your display name and email address.

Change your password to enhance security.
