About Wordpress

https://www.ermapta.org is a WordPress site. WordPress is software that makes it easy for anyone to contribute content to the website without needing to understand coding.
WordPress originated and is still best known as a blogging platform. This is good because it means that everything about WordPress is optimized around content creation. It’s worth spending some time learning about blogging as this terminology is pervasive throughout WordPress: post types, permalinks, etc.
Introduction to blogging

Our WordPress installation uses plugins for backup, events, content editing, search engine optimization, even the theme itself is a plugin.
Logging in to WordPress
You will need a username and password to log into WordPress. If you need credentials or have forgotten your credentials, please email techsupport@ermapta.org.
You can log into Wordpress here: https://www.ermapta.org/wp-admin.
If this is your first time using WordPress, spend some time familiarizing yourself with the interface and layout. We do not use the Block Editor (this will make sense to you later), but the “First steps with WordPress” article linked below is highly recommended for getting familiar with the dashboard.
As you learn WordPress, it is okay to create posts and pages and to delete posts and pages you know are safe to delete. Please refrain from modifying the theme as this cannot easily be reverted.
