Trying to connect to a University network? Learn how to connect to a secure network in order to edit WordPress websites.
Connecting to a network
Logging into WordPress is a really easy process. The first step, is connecting to a University network. Permissions are set on our WordPress sites to only allow users who are connected to a University network to login.
For those who are working on campus, this is as simple as connecting to the Wi-Fi network.
For those who are working off campus, you鈥檒l need to connect to the University鈥檚 VPN. VPN stands for 鈥渧irtual private network鈥� and allows users to securely access to websites remotely. For remote workers this should be a familiar process, but if technical difficulties should arise, University IT will be able to help.
Once a University network has been established it’s time to log-in.
/wp-admin
To login to WordPress, visit the homepage of the site in a browser. Add 鈥�/wp-admin鈥� to end of the URL and hit enter. A WordPress log-in screen will load and ask for sign-in credentials.
A username should have been issued to use in the username field. During the initial log-in process a password can be created which should be used in the password field. If you don鈥檛 remember your password or need to set up a new one, click 鈥淟ost your password?鈥� for the opportunity to create a new one.
After a successful log-in the WordPress dashboard should be brought up to begin website editing.
