Things you can ask for

A free plugin adds a chat to your WP dashboard, the screens you log in to at yoursite.com/wp-admin. Each task shows a real run on a WP site we test on, and the steps to do it yourself.

  • Nothing changes without your OK
  • Undo in one click, or a warning first
  • No account, no password to share

Needs WP 6.3 to 7.1, PHP 8.0 or newer, and an administrator login. One site per install.

The download is a plugin. Turning it on connects your site to cmshands.com and adds 3 small rescue files. Deleting the plugin removes them and everything it stored. What we send

Words and pages

Pages made in the WP editor, not page-builder pages.

  • Add a button to a WP page

    Add a “Book a class” button at the end of the Workshops page that links to the Contact page.

    Works on block themes: you'll see Appearance › Editor in your dashboard.

  • Add a new page to your WP site

    Add a page called Classes: Saturday classes, 10am, $45, book by email.

    It makes the page in the WP editor, not with a page builder.

  • Change your site title and tagline

    Change my tagline to “Handmade mugs and bowls, fired in small batches”.

    Changes them in Settings › General, where WP keeps both.

  • Change a page title in WP

    Rename the “Shop” page to “Our pottery”.

    The title on the page itself, not the one your SEO plugin sets.

  • Create a blog page in WP

    Make a Blog page that lists our latest posts, using the posts list block.

    It makes the page and its list of posts. You add the menu link yourself.

  • Edit your WP home page

    On the home page, change the big heading to “Mugs made by hand”.

    For a home page set in Settings › Reading. Not one your theme builds.

  • Edit the words on a WP page

    On the About page, change “since 2019” to “since 2018”.

    Pages made in the WP editor, not with a page builder.

  • Make changes to your WP site by asking

    On the home page, change “Free delivery over $50” to “Free delivery over $40”.

    Words on pages made in the WP editor; layout on block themes.

  • Find and replace text across WP pages

    We moved to Tue–Sat. Change “Mon–Fri” everywhere it appears.

    Pages, posts, and block-theme header and footer. Not menus or widgets.

  • Hide the title on a WP page

    Hide the title on the Contact page.

    Block themes with a no-title page template, like Twenty Twenty-Four.

  • Write and publish a blog post in WP

    Write a short post announcing our autumn workshop from these notes, and publish it: Sat Nov 7, 10am–1pm, $55, six places, book by emailing hello@quillmoor.example.

    Goes live when you press the button. To read it first, ask for a draft.
