Overview
WordPress offers several different editors you can choose to edit your website. If you are using BoldGrid to create your site, the Post and Page Builder is recommended. This article gives you a quick overview of the following options.
You should not use multiple website builders, such as BoldGrid and Elementor, on the same site. If your site was built using one WordPress website builder and you want to change to another, you should first use a staging site instead of installing a new builder on the live site.
Editing a page
- Log into your WordPress dashboard.
- Click the Inspirations tab in the left pane.
- Under Site Content, click the pencil icon to the right of the page you'd like to edit.
- At first, you are presented with the option to configure some settings. Click Okay, Let's Go!.
