One thing before you start: do your editing on a computer rather than a phone. The site itself works beautifully on phones; the editor doesn't.
Logging in
1. Go to your website address followed by /wp-admin, for example yourclub.co.uk/wp-admin.
2. Enter the username and password we sent you when the site went live. If you've lost them, use the Lost your password link or message us.
3. You'll land on the WordPress dashboard. This is the engine room; you won't need most of it.
Opening a page for editing
1. In the left menu click Pages, then All Pages.
2. Hover over the page you want and click Edit with Elementor.
3. The page opens looking exactly as visitors see it, with an editing panel down one side.
Making a change
1. Click any piece of text on the page and type your change straight in, just like a word processor.
2. Click any image, then in the panel click the image thumbnail to choose a replacement from the Media Library or upload a new one.
3. When you're done, click the Update button. On most sites it's the green button at the bottom of the side panel; if your editor shows a toolbar across the top instead, it's at the top right. Same job either way, and nothing goes live until you click it.
You can't really break anything, either: nothing shows on the live site until you click Update, and if something ever goes properly wrong we can put the page back for you. Click around with confidence.
Checking your work
1. Open your site in a new tab and refresh the page. If a change doesn't appear, refresh again after a minute; the site keeps a copy of pages for speed and takes a moment to catch up.
That's the whole loop: log in, Edit with Elementor, click and change, Update. The other articles in this collection cover specific jobs, and every one of them uses this same loop.
If anything looks different on your site, message us through the help centre chat and we'll point you right.
