00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,340
|
|
Let's discuss some basic WordPress settings.
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:08,503
|
|
As you embark on your WordPress website journey,
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:08,503 --> 00:00:13,260
|
|
you'll discover a range of options located under settings at the bottom left of your dashboard.
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:16,791
|
|
We will delve deeper into these options at a later stage,
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:16,791 --> 00:00:22,180
|
|
but let's focus on a few key settings to get your site up and running smoothly.
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:26,495
|
|
The learning outcomes are setting your site title and tagline,
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:26,495 --> 00:00:32,080
|
|
updating your site's time zone, and choosing your home page display.
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,780
|
|
First up, let's talk about your site's identity.
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:39,820
|
|
In the settings menu, you'll find General.
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,100
|
|
These elements are not just for show.
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:46,220
|
|
They play a vital role in how your site appears in search engine results.
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:48,100
|
|
So what can you do?
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:52,664
|
|
Craft a compelling title and tagline that not only represents your site,
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:00:52,664 --> 00:00:58,580
|
|
but also entices visitors to open your site when they see it listed on search engines or when they visit your site.
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:04,438
|
|
The site title and tagline should tell visitors what your site is about
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:01:04,438 --> 00:01:06,100
|
|
and who you are trying to attract.
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,620
|
|
They are often among the first things visitors will notice on your site.
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:13,802
|
|
The title is usually the name of your site,
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:01:13,802 --> 00:01:20,760
|
|
while the tagline is a short phrase or sentence that aims to communicate the site's main focus.
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,060
|
|
Please note, you can choose not to display your tagline.
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:28,076
|
|
But as mentioned, search engines pay attention to titles and taglines,
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:01:28,076 --> 00:01:31,880
|
|
which will also help you improve your site's SEO.
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,535
|
|
So remember to add your tagline,
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:01:34,535 --> 00:01:37,760
|
|
even though you might decide not to display it on the front end of your site.
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,609
|
|
Here is an example from a search engine where you don't see the tagline on the site,
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:01:42,609 --> 00:01:50,389
|
|
but when you search for Mantis Research, you will see the site title, Mantis Research,
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:54,200
|
|
and part of the tagline, helping marketers publish research that gets attention.
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:02,160
|
|
You can change your site's title and tagline below general settings, as shown in the example here.
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,392
|
|
You can also update your site title and tagline within the site editor
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:02:08,392 --> 00:02:10,440
|
|
when updating your header, for example.
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,597
|
|
If you update or change the site title block or the site tagline block,
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:02:15,597 --> 00:02:18,960
|
|
it will also update automatically below the general settings.
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
|
|
Next, let's discuss the time zone settings.
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,320
|
|
Time zone settings below general.
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:32,680
|
|
It is best if your site's time zone matches the time zone settings on your computer or local time.
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,793
|
|
It ensures that your scheduled posts go live at the right time,
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:02:36,793 --> 00:02:42,080
|
|
and if you post content ahead of time, you'll know exactly when it will be published.
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,040
|
|
You also have the option to select your own date format, as well as time format.
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,920
|
|
And you can even decide when you want your week to start.
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,720
|
|
Now, let's focus on the structure of your website.
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,880
|
|
In reading, under settings, you have the power to decide what visitors see when they land on your site.
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,900
|
|
Do you want a dynamic homepage that showcases your latest posts, or perhaps a static page?
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:15,640
|
|
The choice is yours.
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:20,700
|
|
By default, WordPress displays a list of posts on the homepage of your site.
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:26,660
|
|
This list of posts is automatically updated as soon as new posts are published.
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:33,580
|
|
Also, there is no need to create any page to have a homepage with your latest posts.
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:41,060
|
|
You might be asking, so where do I edit this homepage that displays my latest posts?
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:44,980
|
|
This homepage is displayed via your blog home template.
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:50,683
|
|
So, if you have selected your latest posts as your homepage display,
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
00:03:50,683 --> 00:03:53,740
|
|
you can make your way to appearance and click on editor.
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:56,055
|
|
This will open up your site editor,
|
|
|
|
52
|
|
00:03:56,055 --> 00:04:00,300
|
|
and on the right, by default, your blog home template will appear.
|
|
|
|
53
|
|
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,792
|
|
To open it up, merely click on it,
|
|
|
|
54
|
|
00:04:02,792 --> 00:04:09,360
|
|
and now you can start editing your homepage template that displays your posts via the query loop block.
|
|
|
|
55
|
|
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:14,740
|
|
You can edit and customize your homepage right here.
|
|
|
|
56
|
|
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:21,883
|
|
But if you prefer to have a static homepage,
|
|
|
|
57
|
|
00:04:21,883 --> 00:04:26,035
|
|
you can go ahead and make your way to pages and then create a homepage,
|
|
|
|
58
|
|
00:04:26,035 --> 00:04:32,140
|
|
as well as a page for posts, in this case, my blog page.
|
|
|
|
59
|
|
00:04:33,820 --> 00:04:38,220
|
|
And then you can go ahead and create any other pages that you want on your site.
|
|
|
|
60
|
|
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,822
|
|
You can head back to the dashboard, select settings, reading,
|
|
|
|
61
|
|
00:04:43,822 --> 00:04:49,580
|
|
and then next to your homepage displays, activate using a static page.
|
|
|
|
62
|
|
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:53,960
|
|
And then select one of the pages you created as your homepage or front page.
|
|
|
|
63
|
|
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:58,238
|
|
And then below that, you can also select another page
|
|
|
|
64
|
|
00:04:58,238 --> 00:05:01,240
|
|
to display your dynamic posts or blog, for example.
|
|
|
|
65
|
|
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:09,260
|
|
When you select a static page, your homepage will automatically be assigned to the default page template.
|
|
|
|
66
|
|
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:12,840
|
|
Let's make our way to pages to see this in action.
|
|
|
|
67
|
|
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,882
|
|
When I open my static homepage, and then open up my setting sidebar,
|
|
|
|
68
|
|
00:05:19,882 --> 00:05:28,600
|
|
we will notice on the right next to template, it says that this page has been assigned to the page template or the default template.
|
|
|
|
69
|
|
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:37,943
|
|
That means that your static homepage and other pages that have been assigned to this default template will share the same template,
|
|
|
|
70
|
|
00:05:37,943 --> 00:05:41,540
|
|
or in other words, the same header and footer.
|
|
|
|
71
|
|
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:45,785
|
|
So if you wanted to update the header and the footer and the structure for this page,
|
|
|
|
72
|
|
00:05:45,785 --> 00:05:48,100
|
|
you do it in the template.
|
|
|
|
73
|
|
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:52,249
|
|
But you, of course, head back to your homepage to start adding content
|
|
|
|
74
|
|
00:05:52,249 --> 00:05:56,180
|
|
and building your homepage from here using blocks.
|
|
|
|
75
|
|
00:05:59,260 --> 00:06:07,420
|
|
And when you edit your posts page, you will notice at the top, it says you are currently editing the page that shows your latest posts.
|
|
|
|
76
|
|
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:13,300
|
|
And on this page, you can modify your query loop block and your posts page as you please.
|
|
|
|
77
|
|
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:19,180
|
|
And please note, the posts page has been assigned to the blog home template.
|
|
|
|
78
|
|
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:24,020
|
|
And you will notice it says the posts page template cannot be changed.
|
|
|
|
79
|
|
00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:31,180
|
|
But it can, of course, be edited, and you can even make the header and the footer the same as your homepage.
|
|
|
|
80
|
|
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:37,600
|
|
Configuring the basic WordPress settings correctly is essential for your site's functionality and appearance.
|
|
|
|
81
|
|
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,860
|
|
And as mentioned, we will look at more settings further down the line.
|
