Login to your admin here: https://www.stpeterserindale.ca/wp-admin
Once you are logged in you will see a navigation bar on the left. There are many things that can be administered here but but most of what you will need to do is edit or add pages.
Note: Once you are a registered user you can always retrieve your password by clicking “Lost Password” on the page above. It will send a link to your email to let you reset your password.
To edit a Page:
Click on “Pages” in the Left Navigation Bar of the site admin.
You will see a list of all the existing pages for the site.
Double-click on the page title to open the page editor. You will see the the content is set up in blocks or containers.
When you hover your mouse in the centre of one of those blocks you a green bar will appear with a pencil icon which is what you will click to open up the editor for that block. There is also and icon to duplicate the block and a trash icon to delete it.
Once you have finished the changes to that block, click “Save Changes” and the window will close.
IMPORTANT – To commit the changes you must click the “Update” on the far right hand side of the Page Editor. When you click update the changes are live on the site.
To Duplicate an existing page:
Choose Clone from the options that appear when you hover over the page title:
Edit | Quick Edit | Trash | View | Clone | New Draft | Edit with Visual Composer
Clone will duplicate a page and save it as a draft that you can edit and publish or save as a draft.
New Draft is essentially the same as clone except that it will open the new draft page editor for you immediately.
To change the date in the side bar:
Go to > Visual Composer > Templates > Sidebar-Main > You will see the the content is set up in blocks or containers. Hover your mouse over the centre of the appropriate block and a green bar will appear with a pencil icon which is what you will click to open up the editor for that block. Make the changes and SAVE CHANGES. Then click the UPDATE button on the far right hand side of the page. This will update the side bar throughout the site.
Adding items to the Navigation Menus:
I have set things up so that a new page is not automatically added to the navigation bar. It can be set to add automatically but I don’t recommend it in this case. Instead you must click on “Appearance > Menus”. Then at the top of the page select which menu that you want to add the item to. Click on the pages tab and you should see your new page at the top of the list. Click it’s check box and then click “Add to Menu” It will go to the bottom of the list of the menu items that are displayed. From there you can drag it into the appropriate position in the menu hierarchy.
The change the footer (Social Icons)
Go to > StPeters > Templates > Layouts > Footer > Ultimatum Social > When you click on here you will see a list of all the social networks you can add or remove. Click SAVE. Then click the “Save Layout” button at the top of the page.
Adding Admin Users:
Click on “Users > Add New” Fill out the form and choose the Administrative level that the person should have. Administrator level has access to everything in the admin. You can set it it to send the login and password to the person via email. You can also set your own password by editing your USER profile. A Password retrieval system is built in. Just click the “Lost Password” link on the login page.
