Today I am going to overview all sections of Wordpress Dashboard and what opportunities you get using this platform. Wordpress Dashboard is your main section where you customize your wp site. On your left sitebar you can see items clicking on which you will be able to customize sections and view already created. Also here you will see icons of some of your added plugins. Lets start. "Dashboard" - menu item on your sitebar. If you click on it, you will be brought to section where you will be offered some steps to start your website customization, so you by clicking at "Customize Your Site" you will be able to customize theme template, section "New Steps" offers to make post, create page and view site. If you do not like your profile appearance color, name, if you want to change email address, etc you can simply do it. Navigate to the right top corner "Howdy..." and select "Edit my profile". Edit it for more convenient work. "Posts" section. Here you can see all your posts or add new post, as well as create categories. You must assign your posts to at least one category. Why? The name of your category displays in your URL that increases the chances that your page will be found by readers. If you do not create categories and do not assign your post to any particular then WordPress will publish it to the default ‘Uncategorized’ category. It is better to assign your post to the relevant category and you get the most appropriate URL. It's recommended to use one-word for category name. "Users". Here you can add new participants to your dashboard and give them rights and roles. If you cowork with many people on your website, you can appoints admins, editors, authors, etc and each of them will have access only to their part of website, not to get into trouble if anything. "Settings" . Here you can manage general settings (country, time, site address, etc). So, that was a short overview of wordpress dashboard, website working panel and what it contains. Hope you find this info well. Lower you can find "Tags" section. Well, some people really exaggerate the necessity of tag in posts. The main secret is not to use one-words and do not use too much tags (around 5-7, if they are hidden then use more). It is better to use two-word or three-word combinations (e.g. summer dresses, sweet pie, swiss cheese, etc) and use them logically. "Media" section. Here you can view your library that contains all images that you have downloaded as well as you can download new from your device. "Pages" section. It is area where you can create new pages and view and edit existing ones. "Comments". If you have a section for comments under your posts, then all your comments will be displayed in this section. "Appearance". Here you can customize website template, side menu, headers, wigdets etc, everything you want to show on your website the way you want. "Plugins". WordPress plugin is a small "program" that extends the capabilities of Wordpress. Owing to plugins we can increase almost limited functionality of the blog and improve it the best way. Do you need a poll on your blog? Or do you need to display the popular posts of your blog? Or use login form, plugin to promote blog or analyze blog? No problem - plugins will help you. In most cases, they are fairly easy to turn on. To do this, you just need to add new, activate the plugin in the admin panel, and, if necessary, add the plugin code to the template of our blog (I'll talk about this in more details on the examples of specific plugins). Here you will see all your installed plugins as well as capability to add new. "Users". Here you can add new participants to your dashboard and give them rights and roles. If you cowork with many people on your website, you can appoints admins, editors, authors, etc and each of them will have access only to their part of website, not to get into trouble if anything. "Settings" . Here you can manage general settings (country, time, site address, etc).
So, that was a short overview of wordpress dashboard, website working panel and what it contains. Hope you find this info well.
