FAQ

Q: Where does my business information appear on the website?

A: Your business information typically appears in the website header, footer, contact page, and sometimes in the sidebar. The exact location depends on your theme design.

Q: Can I add my business information in Irish (Gaeilge)?

A: Yes, WordPress supports Irish language text. Simply type your business information in Irish in the appropriate fields. For full Irish language websites, see building multi-language websites.

Q: Do I need to include my VAT number on my website?

A: Irish VAT-registered businesses should display their VAT number on invoices, but it's not legally required on websites. However, including it can build customer trust.

Q: How do I change my business information later?

A: Go back to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity or Business Information. Make your changes and click Publish to update your website.

Q: My business hours aren't showing up on my website

A: Check that your theme supports business hours display. If not, you can manually add hours to your contact page or footer using a text widget.

Q: Can I add multiple business locations?

A: Most themes support one main location in the customizer. For multiple locations, you'll need to create separate pages for each location or use a custom solution.

Q: What size should my business logo be?

A: Upload your logo at least 300 pixels wide. WordPress will resize it automatically, but starting with a high-quality image gives better results.
