Managing WordPress with Bamboo Manchester

At Bamboo Manchester, we know that WordPress can sometimes feel overwhelming if you’re new to it. That’s why we’ve created our very own WordPress User Guide – a straightforward manual designed to help beginners and everyday users find their way around the system with confidence.


Our guide covers all the essentials, including:

Logging in to WordPress – step-by-step instructions so you’ll never struggle to access your site.

Posts vs Pages – understanding the difference and when to use each.

Exploring the Dashboard – a friendly tour of the menus, shortcuts, and tools you’ll use most.

The Block Editor (Gutenberg)  – a simple explanation of how to create and edit content with blocks.

Managing Media – how to add and organise your images, documents and videos.

Managing Users – setting up new users, assigning roles, and keeping your site secure.

Plugins – what they are, how they work, and how to manage them safely.


We’ve also included links to trusted WordPress resources and videos to give you extra support along the way.

Whether you’re updating your business blog, adding new pages, or managing an online shop, our guide is there to make WordPress less daunting and much more manageable.
