Below we have outlined the basic steps to get started. Once you’ve complete these steps, you can begin building your new site.
- Request a new site by clicking the button below and filling out the form.
- After your request has been approved, you will receive an email with the link to your site and login details.
- Bookmark your login page. You can get to the login page by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your site URL. For example, if your site is https://sites-test.utulsa.edu/yoursite/, then https://sites-test.utulsa.edu/yoursite/wp-admin/ will be your login page.
NOTE: you will use your TU credentials to login (ex. abc1234@utulsa.edu)
- Review the demo sites to help determine which theme you’d like to use. Visit the theme option page to learn about each available theme.
- Once you have selected a theme, go to your site’s themes page. From your site’s admin dashboard, you will find the theme page under the Appearance section on the left. Or add /wp-admin/themes.php to the end of your site’s URL.
For example, https://sites-test.utulsa.edu/yoursite/wp-admin/themes.php.
- Hover over the theme you want to use and click the Activate button. This will take you to the Genesis Child Theme Setup page.
- Once on the Genesis Child Theme Setup page, click the Set Up Your Website button. Your site will be setup with sample pages and content.
- Once the setup is complete, you can visit the homepage or edit the homepage. You can also navigate the admin area with the menu to the left.
