Collecting Passwords for your Website

After signing up for a Managed WordPress Website with Dreamhost – you should have WordPress installed on your computer. They do this automatically for you! Which is the beauty of having a managed WordPress account with Dreamhost.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you’ve taken note of the following:

• Your website address/where you log in
• Your username (for WordPress NOT Dreamhost)
• Your password (for WordPress NOT Dreamhost)

Before we start the course, you’ll want to know exactly how to sign into your WordPress website so that you can do the work as you follow along with the information and homework.

A good tip is to sign in and out a few times, bookmark the page and even save your password on your browser to make it easy for you to log in whenever you need to.

OPTIONAL: Install a Coming Soon Page to your Website

You may just be starting or even re-vamping a website you already have and don’t want anyone to see it just yet – so I suggest you install this free plugin to keep your website secret from prying eyes.

DOWNLOAD: COMING SOON PAGE + MAINTENANCE MODE by SeedProd.

Save this file on your desktop (do NOT unzip).

We’ll easily install and activate the plugin, and then go through customizing it so it works for your website.
