How to edit text on a WordPress site

  • OK, I am a complete newbie with WordPress. I am relatively tech savvy (taught Computer Science for 32 years at Penn State, have worked in Information Systems since 1967). Also, I maintain a fairly sophisticated Drupal site for PSMLA (pmsmla.org). I have been asked by my daughter and granddaughter to make some changes to a site for an organization with which they are associated. The site is done in WordPress 4.9.7 running Divi theme. Hmm, piece of cake, I thought. Not so! I log in to the site, click on pages, select a page, click on edit and get what looks like a layout template. At the top it says Use Default Editor and Use Visual Builder. If I click on default editor, I get a question, “Disable Builder”. Hmm sounds like a bad idea! So, I try Visual Builder. I get the text, but it doesn’t let me edit it. I can load from library, save to library, clear layout, collapse settings etc. Why is it so hard to do something a simple as edit a page? I’ve been tracking around for days trying to find the secret button. I’ve Googled “edit a page in WordPress” all the examples tell me to click on links that I don’t see on my page or if they do, what appears is not what they say will appear. ?Dios mio, me confunde! HELP!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    @rdelporo, the fact that you’re posting this support request in the forum for CAOS reveals enough. ??

    Anyway, this isn’t the support forum for Divi. Try elegantthemes.com.
