Logging In

Learn how to access and edit your WordPress site.

    In order to create and edit content on a CALS WordPress website, you will need to login with your UW NetID, and have been added to the website with a WordPress user role using your UW NetID.

    Site administrators have the permission to add, edit, and remove users on their website. ↗

    Requirements

    • A WordPress user account on the website (approved by site owner/administrator)
    • Your UW NetID and password

    Instructions

    1. Open a browser and go to your website.
    2. Scroll to the bottom of the homepage and locate the login link.
    3. Click Login. This will redirect you to the UW-Madison Login window.
    4. Enter your NetID and password.
    5. The WordPress Admin Dashboard for that site will appear upon successful login.
    6. If you need to navigate between different sites once you are logged in, you can use the My Sites drop down menu from the top admin bar.

    *If you have trouble logging in, or do not see any options on the vertical black Dashboard menu on the left, email CALS Web Services for support.
