When managing the content of a website via a CMS (Content Management System), a distinction is generally made between two working environments:
- The backend or backoffice, the private part of the website accessible only with an administrator login which allows you to edit the majority of the contents of the web platform.
- The frontend or frontoffice, the public part of the web platform, free access for everyone.
The administrateur login
To access the backend, add /cms/wp-admin to your domain and click Enter.
Then enter your login information : username or email address and password.
Lost your password ?
From the page cms/wp-admin you can click on the link Lost your password?.
In the only available field on this page you have to enter your username or the email address of the account. By clicking on "Get new password", a validation message will appear. You will receive an email with a link allowing you to create a new password.
The backend topbar
Once you are logged in, this bar appears automatically on your web platform as well in frontend as in backend, it is the sign that you have an administrator session open on your site. Only a person logged as administrator can see it.
This one allows to :
- go from the Backend to the Frontend
- see how many updates are available
- create content (articles, users, etc.)
- edit user preferences
- logg off
The backend dashboard
The Minotaure dashboard has been setup to give you a quick overview of what you have to manage as a content editor :
- Create content by listing all the types of content you can quickly add
- Theme settings (contact details, social networks...)
- Support with your agency in charge of the technical aspects of your website
- Content enhancements : missing featured images on posts and permalinks to be improved
The backend sidebar
The sidebar provides access to :
- native content modules of WordPress
- content modules specifically set up for your platform (custom post types)
- global administrative functions: user management, general settings, etc.
- Minotaure settings
