Hi crowned hair,
To edit and add plugins, you need to log in to the admin area as an admin user. Assuming your WordPress is installed in the root of your domain, login at www.example.com/wp-login.php
. If your WordPress is installed in a sub-folder, you need to include the path to that sub-folder.
After you log in, you should be taken to the ‘Dashboard’. Some themes and plugins redirect log ins elsewhere, you can usually get to the dashboard with www.example.com/wp-admin/
. From the dashboard you can access all admin functions using the vertical menu on the left.
To see a list of pages, click “Pages” on the menu. On the subsequent pages list, hover over the page title you want to edit and several action links will appear, click “Edit”.
To add plugins, hover over the “Plugins” menu item, then click “Add New”. Find the plugin you want, then click the “Install Now” button. Once the plugin is installed, to use it click “Activate”.
You are indeed lost, which is fine, we all need to start learning somewhere ?? FYI, in these help forums, we ask that you start your own topic instead of tagging on to someone else’s. This allows us to focus on your particular issue and not confuse the help someone else is receiving.
Also, this Hacks sub-forum is intended for people with some coding experience getting help to customize their installation by writing their own code. For general help such as you are seeking, please use the How-To and Troubleshooting forum.
Don’t worry, you’ll learn your way around soon enough. Welcome to the WordPress community!
