How to add an administrator to WordPress.
WordPress lets you add other people to your site. An administrator can change the design and install the tools a site needs, which is why that is the level we ask for.
Takes about three minutes. We need it to fix, update, or rebuild the site you already have.
You are not giving us your password
You keep your own login and stay an administrator yourself, so you can remove us on the same screen whenever you want. Everything we change is recorded under our name, not yours.
The steps
- Go to yoursite.com/wp-admin and sign in. Swap in your own web address for yoursite.com.
- In the left menu find "Users", then click "Add New User".
- Username: fernvie. Email: info@fernvie.com.
- Tick "Send the new user an email about their account".
- Set "Role" to "Administrator". This is the important one. Any lower role cannot touch the design.
- Click "Add New User".
Then tell us
Nothing, WordPress emails us the details. If your site is on WordPress.com rather than your own hosting, the menu is People then Invite, and the wording is slightly different.
Stuck at any point?
Reply to any email from us, or write to info@fernvie.com. We will get on a screen share and do it together. It takes about five minutes and there is no charge for it.
