User Guide

What is the administrator?

The administrator or “admin” is the God of your website.

He can do everything from creating more users, to adding pages, from changing

the theme to adding additional features.

When your website was installed the username and password of the

administrator would have been chosen and you should know them both - if you

don’t ask the person who set up the website.

As stated we’re going to make an assumption here, that the username of the

administrator is “admin”.

For the sake of argument, we’re also going to assume the password has been set

as “welcome”.

GETTING TO THE LOGIN FORM

The login form is an defined area of the screen. A dialog box on the

other hand is a “pop-up” box presented in front of the current page. It’s

not vital, but it’s good to know the correct terms where possible

The way your website has been designed may mean there is a login link, if so

click on it.

If not, type the following into your browser (remember, replace

www.example.com with the your actual website address):

www.example.com/wp-admin
