Managing this website

Six short procedures cover everything you will do day to day. Each one is a few clicks in the WordPress dashboard — no code, and nothing that can break the layout if you follow the steps in order.

1. Editing an existing page
  1. Log inGo to your site's /wp-admin address and sign in.
  2. Open PagesIn the left sidebar, choose Pages. Every section of the site is a page.
  3. Pick the pageHover the page name and choose Edit.
  4. Change the contentEdit the text and blocks, then update the images from the Media Library.
  5. PreviewUse Preview to see the page as a visitor would.
  6. UpdatePress the blue Update button. The change is live immediately.
2. Adding a news post

News items are held in the theme's data file and rendered on the News page and homepage. To add a post, edit assets/js/data.js and add an entry to the NEWS array (id, date, category, title, excerpt, body). A developer can migrate these to native WordPress posts on request.

3. Managing publications

Publications live in the PUBS array in assets/js/data.js. Each entry carries a type, year, title, authors, venue, abstract, keywords and an optional link. The filter and search controls update automatically from that list.

4. Managing team members

Team members are stored in the TEAM array in assets/js/data.js, each with a name, role, programme, biography, interests, group and contact link. The group value controls which filter the card appears under.

5. Checking tablet and phone layouts

The theme is fully responsive. After any edit, use your browser's device toolbar (or resize the window) to check the layout at phone and tablet widths before publishing.

6. Publishing safely
  • Save drafts when interrupted mid-edit.
  • Preview before you update. Thirty seconds of checking prevents most public mistakes.
  • Keep backups. Take a backup before any large change, and update plugins one at a time.
