A New WordPress User Experience Write-Up

5 August 2016 by Roan de Vries 6 Comments

Task 4

In the last task I have to add a link to my last post that directs me back to the homepage of my site. My last post is the gallery I just added so I will look for an option to add a link. First, I have to copy the web adres of my site’s homepage so I will go to the homepage first. I click my site’s name in the left top corner en click the right mouse button and choose the Open in new tab option.

task4-2

Once opened, I copy the web adres to my clipboard and return to the post left in the other browser tab.

task4-3

I then paste the link in the add link section that just appeared in post. After that I click the options button next to the link I just added to see what I can change.

task4-4

I then see that I can change what the link looks like so I add the text homepage so people will know that if they click on it they will return to the homepage. After that I click update to change the link to ‘homepage’. Relatively straight forward to add the link, but actually being able to copy that link is not that easy as I think it should be.

task4-5

When all this is done, I first want to update the post so I do this by pressing update on right of the screen. The second part of the task is that I can see my site the way other people would see it. I did this already in one of the previous tasks so I know what to do. I click the name of my site and it redirects me to the site as a visitor would see it.

task4-6

The final results looks something like the image below.

    Thanks for writing about your new user experince, Roan. It is quite important for us who have used WordPress for a long time to understand how a person who is new to WordPress experience it, so we can improve it.

    Great point on “I think it’s really important that exercises into New User Experiences need to happen more in the WordPress community to improve the overall user experience”.

    Certainly my takeaway from this article.

    Keep it up!
