Yes. Student workers are allowed access to WordPress once they attend the WordPress Training and their supervisor requests access for them using the WordPress Access Request.
Student worker access is valid for one semester only and must be renewed on expiration.
Q: Can I access WordPress off-campus?
Yes. WordPress is accessible over the internet no matter where a person may be. All you need is an internet browser and internet connection.
Q: I cannot see all the pages assigned to me?
Every user is assigned a set number of pages, if you requested a page and it is not displayed in your administrator panel, consider the following :
- The page was deleted by another user
- The page is currently in use by another user and is “locked”. Once the page is published by the other user, you will be able to see it in your administrator panel
Q: What is SEO?
SEO means Search Engine Optimization is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine‘s unpaid results – often referred to as “natural,” “organic,” or “earned” results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users.
