1 – How to login to your WordPress dashboard?

Just go to the top section of your browser where you see your URL. Over here write the following, “www.example.com/WP-ADMIN” and press enter. In the next page, add your username and password.

2 – WordPress Dashboard

The first page you see isn’t very useful after a while. However, when you’re starting out you may find some good information. You are able:

– Switch to a new theme

– See how many posts and comments you have

– Read the latest WordPress news, etc.

3 – WordPress Updates

In this section, you are able to see if you need to update your website’s plugins or theme.

4 – WordPress Posts

You’ll pass great part of your time over here, possibly creating new content.

5 – WordPress Media Library

In this section, you’ll be able to see all the images added to your website.

6 – WordPress Pages

You should use pages for every static page you want in your website. This includes: contact page, about page, etc.

7 – WordPress Comments

All the comments displayed in your website. You can manage and review them in this section.

8 – WordPress Appearance

In this section, you can do a lot of things, including:

– Switch to a new theme and customize it

– Change your sidebar widgets

– Create menus

9 – WordPress Plugins

I would say this is the most powerful feature from WordPress. Using plugins you can pretty much turn your website to anything you want. For instance:

– Akismet: blocks great part of your daily comment spam.

– Jetpack: add a huge amount of functions to your website.

10 – WordPress Users

This section let’s you manage the users you have in your website. You can give them administrator roles and access to your blog beyond other things.

11 – WordPress Tools

This options allows you to do manual backups of your WordPress website.

12 – WordPress Settings

In this section, you can change the different settings from your blog, comments and other aspects.
