This video shows the basics of how to edit a page in WordPress using an older version of WordPress (version 4.3) including how to add an image to the page and uncover the second row of editing icons. The WordPress installation in this video is using the Classic Editor and not the new Gutenberg Block Editor. If your WordPress edit screen does not look like this, then you are likely using a different editor such as:
- Gutenberg, the newer WordPress editing experience
- A pagebuilder like Beaver Builder, Elementor, Divi, etc.
- A custom editor of some kind
This video will only help if you are using the ‘Classic Editor’ editing experience.
If You Have the Gutenberg Editing Experience
If you want to switch to use only the Classic Editor on your site instead of Gutenberg, you can install the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin and activate it. Then your edit pages would look more like the one shown in this video.
If you want to learn how to use the Gutenberg Block Editor, search YouTube for “how to edit a page in WordPress using Gutenberg” or similar and you should get some tutorials that cover that.
