Edit published page

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Sue Waters

There are occasions where you’ll want to go back to a previously published page to edit aspects such as correct spelling, grammatical errors and add updates.

To locate the page you want to edit you use the Pages Screen by going to Pages > All Pages.

Brief Overview of your Pages Screen

This is the area in your administration panel where you see a listing of all the saved pages, 20 pages per page, that you’ve written on your blog.

In this screen you can search for pages by date. Once pages are located you can either edit the page or delete pages.

You can also choose to view all pages, only those that have been published, your drafts only or those that you have trashed.

Hovering your mouse over the title of a page brings up four action links:

Edit

Clicking the action link Edit opens the page into full edit mode where you can edit the page title, page content or configure page options such as passwords and changing it back to draft mode.

Alternatively, clicking on the page title also opens it in Edit mode.

Once you’ve made the changes just click Update.

Quick Edit

Clicking the action link Quick Edit opens the page options letting you configure features such as title, page slug, status, comments and the timestamp without having to edit the full page.

Once you’ve made the changes just click Update.

You can also bulk edit multiple pages using Quick Edit at the same time.

This is as simple as:

Select the pages you want to edit
Then in the Bulk Actions dropdown select Edit and then click the Apply Button

Trash

Used when you want to remove a post on your blog without permanently deleting it right away. All items in your trash folder can be restored or permanently deleted within 30 days of the time you trashed them.
