This page is for the Timaru Fencing owners/staff who administer the website. It is not for public view, but has some handy videos that can be used to quickly show how to edit/change/update various pages or stories on the timarufencing.co.nz website.
You will notice the majority of pages use the Divi page builder to more easily create a different layout, rather than the standard WordPress system e.g. where columns are needed or special design elements. Below there are also some fundamental guides to how the Divi Page Builder works.
There is also a guide to the Woocommerce shop which goes through how to add, edit and remove products. Please contact Medlicott Design before making any major changes to the shop area (other than prices, descriptions, weight, new products), as this section is a live shop and as such changes can affect sales.
** Note to Flynn:
Some videos are a bit older but still explain the fundamentals.
I have tried to update the naming protocols for the various sections on each page.
My suggestion is that when you are editing a page you have a new tab open with the public view or preview when working on pages, as easier to see what section relates to which module.
You will generally click on the menu icon in each module to edit it. Once you have created a section and want to replicate it, you can click either the module clone tool to replicate the settings (then just change the text and photo). You can also replicate rows, and whole sections. There are also numerous layouts already stored in the Divi Library including designs by Divi as well as layouts I have used already which can be imported.
Also these days there is a visual builder which may suit you rather than the way I do it via the back end. You can always create a test or demo page and have a play, as long as you don’t add it to the main menu, or just save as a draft so that Google doesn’t add it to their search database.
As always if there are any questions contact Mark @ Medlicott Design
