How to edit text on your website

Building Your Website2 min read·

All text on your website — headings, paragraphs, button labels — can be edited directly in the WordPress block editor.

How to edit text

  1. Open your WordPress editor from the My Website page in your Web60 dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the page you want to edit from Pages in the left sidebar.
  3. Click on any text block. A cursor appears and you can type directly.
  4. Make your changes — delete, retype, or add new content.
  5. Click Update (or Publish for new pages) in the top right to save.

Formatting options

When you click on a text block, a toolbar appears above it. You can:

  • Bold or Italic — select text and click B or I
  • Add a link — select text and click the link icon, then paste a URL
  • Change alignment — left, centre, or right
  • Change heading level — click the heading block and choose H2, H3, etc.

Adding new text blocks

To add a new paragraph or heading:

  1. Hover between two blocks until you see a blue + button.
  2. Click it and choose Paragraph or Heading.
  3. Start typing.

Tips

  • Keep headings short and descriptive — they help visitors and search engines understand your page.
  • Use paragraphs to break up long sections of text. Shorter paragraphs are easier to read on mobile.
  • You can undo any change with Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac).
