Log In to WordPress

Once you have a WordPress account (obtained through OIT or via your WordPress network administrator), log in by clicking the “Log In” link at the bottom-center of your WordPress page:

WordPress Dashboard

Once logged in, you’ll see your network Dashboard:

The Dashboard is the nerve center of your WordPress experience. From here (depending on your WordPress rights), you can do anything from write and submit content for review, or access settings that affect your WordPress site or network.

Log Out of WordPress

To log out of WordPress, click Log Out at the top-right of any page within the Dashboard or WordPress settings or editing screen.

Log In Using a Mobile Device

A free WordPress app is available for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to access and edit your site from tablet and smartphone devices.

In order to use a tablet or smartphone device with your site, you first have to enable to the site for mobile access. A Site Administrator can choose Settings > Writing from the Dashboard, and then click the XML-RPC checkbox for “Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.”

Of course, the OIT Help Desk is available for any WordPress questions you may have. We’re open 7:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday – Friday, and you can reach us at 426-4357, or via e-mail at helpdesk@boisestate.edu.
