How to create and Manage Wordpress Website

Till now we have Installed Wordpress to our Hosting & therefore now we will see that how we can access the backend of our Wordpress website.

- To access the Admin panel of our Wordpress site we will add '/wp-admin' to the URL of our registered domain.
- After that we will login & enter to the dashboard section of our site.
- We can see different Menu options like Posts, Media, Pages, Comments, WPForms, Appearances, Plugins, Users, Tools & etc...

Now we will learn to install Theme to our Wordpress website :
- We can install and activate any Theme according to our requirement for the website by going to the Appearance section from the dashboard & selecting the correct Theme.

After Installing a Wordpress Theme we will go and add New 'About Us' Page & edit in it by adding some details about ourselves. We can add different kind of blocks like Paragraph, Heading, Lists, Quote, Code, Classic, Pullquote, Table, etc... to our page & then Publish it. We can delete any unwanted pages by moving them into the trash from admin panel.

Permalinks are one of the way of showing the URL of our website to our visitors. Here we can set the URL of any page/post according to our requirement. We have different types of Permalinks like plain, day and name, month and name, numerics, post name, & atlast Custom structure.

We can also change the site Title and Tagline of our Website directly from the dashboard. So like this we have number of features/options available in Wordpress Admin panel which we can explore by our own slowly slowly as we practise.

Now if we want to change the home page display by one of our featured static post, we will go to settings section in the dashboard & there check mark 'Static page' option and select the page or post which we want to display.

We can mainly publish two things on wordpress ie. Posts & Pages. We will be using Posts for blog section ie. the articles which we publish are called posts. While other static writings are called Pages of Wordpress. Pages can be of different types like Contact Us, Privacy policy, Disclaimer & etc... Companies mainly use Pages for telling the visitor about their Services.

For that we will go to the dashboard section of the Yoast plugin & then click on 'Configuration wizard!'. Then after we need to specify that is our site under construction or already active. We will choose 'My site is live and ready to be indexed'. After that we will select the site type as 'A blog'. Then after we will check mark Yes for search engine visibility for Pages & Posts both.

As we open it, on the left side we will see different types of option available which are usually about background image, colours, menus, header image, widgets, site identity & many more. And on the right side, we will be shown the preview of our website. We can change the Title & tagline of our website from Site Identity option.
