How Do I Edit a Page on My Website?

The short answer is that you can edit a page on your website by clicking on the ‘edit page’ option. Once there, you are able to modify the page’s title, copy the page URL displayed on the right side, paste it as needed, and then click ‘update’ to save your changes.

Full Explanation

Editing a page on your website involves accessing the editing mode for that particular page. By selecting the ‘edit page’ option, you enter a mode where you can change the details of your webpage. This includes altering the page’s title to reflect new information or updates. Additionally, on the right side of the editor interface, the URL of the page is shown, which you can copy and paste elsewhere as required. After making these adjustments, it is important to click the ‘update’ button to apply and save your changes on the website.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Locate the ‘edit page’ button or link on your website’s administrative dashboard or the page you want to change.
  2. Click on ‘edit page’ to open the editor interface for that specific webpage.
  3. Modify the title of the page to what you want it to be displayed as.
  4. On the right-hand side of the editor, find the URL of the page.
  5. Copy the URL if needed and paste it wherever necessary, such as for sharing or linking.
  6. Once all changes are complete, click on the ‘update’ button to save your edits and apply them to the live website.

Real Examples

For example, if you wanted to change the title of your ‘About Us’ page to ‘Our Story’, you would first open the page by clicking ‘edit page’. Then, in the title field, replace ‘About Us’ with ‘Our Story’. You would also notice the URL on the right side, which you could copy if you want to share the updated page link. Finally, clicking ‘update’ ensures your edits go live.
