Editing Basics
Day-to-day editing habits — building pages, publishing cleanly and what to avoid.
General guidelines for editing the site. For specific tasks see Managing Providers, Managing Locations and Managing Redirects.
Building pages
- Build pages from the available content sections. Each section type (hero, copy, cards, find-a-provider and so on) is designed to work together and keep the layout consistent. See Adding Page Sections.
- Keep titles concise. Page and post titles should be clear and descriptive — they're used in navigation, search results and meta tags.
Before you publish
- Don't paste from Word or Google Docs without cleaning the formatting first. Use "Paste as plain text," or paste into a plain text editor and back, so hidden markup doesn't break styling.
- Preview before publishing. Use the WordPress preview button to check how content looks on the live site before hitting Publish.
What not to do
- Don't try to install or update plugins. It's turned off in wp-admin, so you can't, and that's deliberate. Plugins are managed in version control and tested before they go live. If you need one, contact the developer (see Contacts) rather than working around it.
- Don't edit theme files through the WordPress editor. In-admin file editing is disabled for security; all code changes go through version control.
