Editing a WordPress page
First steps
You can edit a WordPress page at the following web addresses:
- Personal website:
homepage.univie.ac.at/firstname.lastname/wp-admin/ - Website for business purposes:
hostname.univie.ac.at/wp-admin/
Click Login with Shibboleth. You will be forwarded to the weblogin of the University of Vienna. Log in with your u:account UserID and the corresponding password.
In the Homepage Settings, choose whether your website should have a post-oriented or static homepage.
In the standard setting, new posts will be listed in chronological order. To select a different order, choose A static page before creating the main page. To do so, enter a page name under New page title.
Click Publish to save and publish all changes.
Creating page content and new pages
Click Pages in the left sidebar. You can create new pages and upload content to existing pages here.
To add content to an existing page, hover over the title of the page you wish to edit with your cursor and click Edit. You will be forwarded to the respective page. After making your changes, click Publish.
Note
The user receives the desired role only for editing the WordPress website. They are not being authorized to manage the webspace under Webspace admin.
Managing widgets and plugins
In the default setting, your website already contains blocks of information called widgets. These can be used to add further elements (audio content, images, etc.) to your website. To edit widgets, go to the Dashboard and click Appearance followed by Widgets.
To remove a widget, select it in the left sidebar and click Delete.
To activate further widgets, click Add a Widget.
Note
Plugins are external software programs offered by WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/), which is why their quality and functionalities can vary considerably. Please use them cautiously.
