This article shows you how to edit the content on your website's homepage using WordPress on Web60.
Step 1: Log into WordPress
Go to your website address followed by /wp-admin (for example: yoursite.ie/wp-admin). Enter your WordPress username and password. If you don't have these details, check your Web60 welcome email or contact support.
Step 2: Find Your Homepage Settings
Once logged in, look at the left sidebar menu. Click on Settings, then Reading. This page shows what WordPress displays as your homepage.
You'll see two options:
- Your latest posts: Shows your newest blog posts
- A static page: Shows a specific page you choose
Most business websites use a static page for their homepage.
Step 3: Edit a Static Homepage
If your homepage is set to "A static page", note which page is selected in the dropdown menu. Now go to Pages in the left sidebar and click All Pages. Find your homepage in the list and click Edit underneath it.
This opens the WordPress editor where you can change text, add images, and modify your homepage content. The editor works like a simplified version of Microsoft Word.
Step 4: Edit a Blog-Style Homepage
If your homepage shows "Your latest posts", you'll need to edit individual blog posts instead. Go to Posts in the sidebar, then All Posts. Click Edit on any post you want to change.
To create a new post that appears on your homepage, click Posts, then Add New.
Step 5: Make Your Changes
In the editor, click anywhere in the text to start typing. To add images, click the + button and select Image. You can upload new images or choose from your media library.
To change headings, highlight text and use the formatting options at the top of the editor.
Step 6: Preview and Publish
Before publishing, click Preview to see how your changes look on the actual website. If you're happy with the changes, click Update (for existing pages) or Publish (for new content).
Your changes will appear on your live website immediately.
If you're still stuck or can't find your homepage settings, contact Web60 support through your client area. Include your website address so we can help you identify the correct pages to edit.
FAQ
Q: Why can't I see the changes on my website after updating?
A: Clear your browser cache by pressing Ctrl+F5 (or Cmd+R on Mac) while viewing your website. Some browsers store old versions of pages.
Q: I accidentally deleted content from my homepage. Can I get it back?
A: Yes. In the page editor, click "Revisions" in the right sidebar to restore previous versions of your homepage.
Q: Can I edit my homepage on my phone?
A: WordPress works on mobile devices, but editing is easier on a computer or tablet with a larger screen.
Q: What's the difference between pages and posts in WordPress?
A: Pages are for permanent content like your homepage, about page, or contact page. Posts are for blog articles that appear in chronological order.
Q: How do I change the homepage layout completely?
A: Contact Web60 support to discuss changing your WordPress theme, which controls your website's overall design and layout.
Q: My homepage editor looks different from the screenshots. Why?
A: WordPress has different editors. Some themes use page builders with drag-and-drop interfaces instead of the standard WordPress editor.
Q: Can I break my website by editing the homepage?
A: It's very difficult to break your website through content editing. WordPress automatically saves versions of your pages, so you can always restore previous content.
