Logging Into Wordpress
Logging Into WordPress
If you do not have a login link at the top of your web site, you can just add “/wp-admin” to the end of your web site name. For example:
http://wp.wpi.edu/your-website-name-goes-here/wp-admin.
You will see the familiar WPI login screen as shown below. Use your WPI credentials to sign into your WordPress web site.
After you log in, you will come to the Dashboard Screen. Your dashboard and menu will look basically the same as the screen-shot below, but you may see some differences depending upon your theme. The Dashboard provides a quick overview of your web site – the number of blog posts, web pages, comments, spam, etc. You can click on any of these items to go directly to that section of the admin.
The left-hand menu is the main way to navigate through the WordPress Admin. This menu appears to the left on every Admin page and each section is expandable. The remaining tutorials will explore each of these different sections of the WordPress Administrative Interface.
