Online Tutorials<\/h3>\n
There are many useful tutorials online covering WordPress basics. \u00a0We suggest using TutorialPoint’s WordPress Tutorial, available here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.tutorialspoint.com\/wordpress\/index.htm<\/a>. The following sections are particularly useful:<\/p>\n When transferring content from another webpage, copy the content into the visual editor. \u00a0However, make sure to check the text editor for correct structure. \u00a0Keep an eye out for:<\/p>\n The slug for a page can be set through the “Slug” box at the bottom of the editing page, or in the URL under the “Title” box. \u00a0The UIUC library policy for creating slugs for new WordPress pages is as follows:<\/p>\n The settings for the sidebar of the website are located in the right-hand column of the editing page.<\/p>\n Each page created will automatically contain a space for a sidebar. The features included in the sidebar, such as library hours and Ask a Librarian, can be edited separately. To remove the sidebar space entirely, use the \u201cHide Sidebar\u201d box on the right side of the editing screen.<\/p>\n Each page automatically displays the Ask A Librarian settings for the site.\u00a0 To remove Ask a Librarian from a specific page, or to display Ask a Librarian if not displayed, use the \u201cLibrary Chat Services\u201d in the right-hand column of the editing page.<\/p>\n Similar to Ask a Librarian, the library hours are displayed based on site settings.\u00a0 To change the hours display to a different library\u2019s hours, or to remove the hours, use the drop down list in \u201cLibrary Hours\u201d.<\/p>\n The default for contact information and location of the contact info on the webpage is the site wide setting.\u00a0 The default location can be changed to top of page or sidebar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Webpage Creation and Editing To see how to access pages, see the documentation “Getting Started”.
