Return: The Campus Site Admin Guide Home
1. Locate the blog by either:
a. Searching for the specific blog by clicking on Admin
b. Clicking on Blogs
Below is what your result display should look like:
2. You have a range of options once the required blog is located:
a. Edit
Used to:
i. Enable a theme that is disabled site wide on a specific blog.
ii. Manually over ride the site wide blog upload space quota for a specific blog. For example, change the site wide upload of 100 MB to 5 GB on a specific blog
iii. Change role and passwords of blog users
iv. Add new users to the blog
b. Backend
Takes you to the dashboard of that blog where you have complete access to all features of that blog.
c. Deactivate
Reverses the activation step users go through when they signup for a blog. Deactivated blogs can be reactivated without much fuss. There’s really not much use to deactivate on a typical WPMU site.
d. Archive
Marks a blog as being archived so it’s not accessible by users. Archived blogs can be unarchived. Some people use this option to test the waters before deleting old and unused blogs. If no one complains about the blog being archived it’s safe to delete, etc.
e. Spam
Used when you find a spam blog but aren’t completely sure it’s spam so you mark it as spam. You can mark it as “not spam” if it turns out to be legit. If you’re positive it’s spam it’s best to just delete the blog.
f. Delete
Deletes the blog entirely. Used with extreme caution because once a blog is deleted it can’t be recovered. The better option in most circumstances is to archive a blog rather than delete it.
g. View
Takes you to blog site.
