The back-end of WordPress is the admin page where users can manipulate, edit the interface, change settings, and write posts. To access the back-end, log in with the admin account at the domain/wp-admin or domain/wp-login.php. The back-end consists of three main parts: the top menu, left menu, and content display section. The top menu includes links to WordPress resources and tips, the user profile, and log out option. The left menu includes options to access the dashboard, create and manage posts, media, pages, comments, appearance settings, plugins, user management, tools, and website settings. Further details will be explained in upcoming articles.
