WP Basics

If you are logged into your WordPress account, click on your username in the admin toolbar at the top right of the screen (if your admin bar is disabled, simply go to Users > Your Profile from the dashboard).

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the "Reset Password" option. Make a note of your password or add it to your password manager (e.g., 1Password) and save it.

If your account is locked, go to your login page (usually yourwebsite.url/wp-admin), click the "Forgot Password?" link, and follow the instructions to reset your password via email.

If for some reason these methods don't work, you can manually recover your password through phpMyAdmin or MySQL (but we recommend doing this only if you are familiar with coding).

The WordPress footer (like the sidebar) uses widgets (unless your theme includes a custom or alternative footer). You can make changes by going to Appearance > Widgets.

Just like the sidebar, if your theme includes custom options for footer columns, styles, copyright, etc., you may find them under Appearance > Customize > Footer or in the custom theme panel.

WordPress uses widgets to display content in the sidebar. To change widgets, open the dashboard and go to Appearance > Widgets. From here, you can add, remove, or reorder widgets by dragging and dropping, as well as customize the appearance of the sidebar using individual widget options.

Depending on your theme, you may also find additional sidebar customization options, such as colors, sidebar width, etc., under Appearance > Customize > Sidebar.

Your WordPress menu (or navigation) should contain links to key pages or posts on your website. From the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus. From here, you can create, edit, and assign menus.

• Create a Menu:Click the blue link "Create a new menu" and name your new menu.
• Add/Delete Menu Items:Use the options on the left side of the screen to add your published pages, posts, categories, and tags, or use the custom link option (perfect for linking to other websites). To remove an item from the menu, simply click the "Remove" link on that item.
• After adding links to your menu, use the menu settings section at the bottom of the page to choose the menu location. These locations depend on your WordPress theme and the positions defined by the theme (header, top bar, footer, etc.).Specify Menu Location:

To upload a new logo, log in to WordPress and navigate to Appearance > Customize. Depending on your WordPress theme, you may see a "Branding" or "Header" section where you should find an option to upload a custom logo.

Alternatively, if your theme uses a custom theme panel instead of the WordPress customizer, simply select your theme panel from the main dashboard, find the Branding/Header section, and you will find a logo option.
