WordPress access is managed through your ClarkU single sign on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have editing privileges on a WordPress, you can log in to make updates. It’s a pretty easy process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identify the front page of your department’s site, get its URL.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Add wp-admin\/<\/code> to the URL.\n
      \n
    • For example, if your front page is located at www.clarku.edu\/psychology\/<\/code> then you’d log into WordPress by visiting www.clarku.edu\/psychology\/wp-admin\/<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to log in with your ClarkU credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be directed to the WordPress dashboard. There you’ll find links to edit pages, posts, and perform other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When you’re logged in, you will see a bar at the top of the page, it’s called the “Admin Bar.” It always includes a link to edit the page or post that you’re on as well as a link to your dashboard. If you don’t see it, follow the steps above to log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
