Edit a WordPress Post or Page

When you open Full Edit for one row in WordPress > Posts, Tenwrite shows the full edit screen for that specific post or page.

Use this page when the inline Quick Edit panel is not enough and you need more control over content, metadata, linked Google Docs, or advanced settings.

  1. Log in to the Tenwrite Web Dashboard.
  2. Click WordPress > Posts.
  3. Find the post or page you want to change.
  4. Open the row’s Options menu.
  5. Click Full Edit.

The top of the page can show:

  • the current post or page title
  • Edit on WordPress link
  • View Post or Preview Post link
  • the destination site
  • the linked Google Doc, if one is already attached

If the item is linked to a Google Doc, you can also use Change Google Doc. If not, Tenwrite can show Link Google Doc.

The full edit form can include:

  • Title
  • Custom URL Slug
  • Excerpt
  • Status

For scheduled WordPress items, Tenwrite can also show Publish Date.

For WordPress posts, Tenwrite can also show:

  • Categories
  • Tags
  • Sticky
  • Password protect
  • Discussion settings
  • Pingbacks & trackbacks

These options are available when the selected item is a post and the screen is in full edit mode.

If your self-hosted WordPress site has the Tenwrite plugin installed, the edit flow can also show supported SEO fields:

  • SEO title
  • meta description
  • focus keyword
  • canonical URL
  • noindex
  • nofollow

These values can be updated from Tenwrite for existing posts and pages.

If the post is linked to a Google Doc and the document already sets one of those SEO fields in frontmatter, that matching field is treated as controlled by frontmatter.

In that case:

  • the field is locked in Tenwrite
  • the UI tells you it is set in frontmatter
  • you update or remove it in the Google Doc instead
  • then run Sync Post to send the new value to WordPress

For WordPress pages, Tenwrite can also show:

  • Parent page ID
  • Page Order

These page-only fields appear when the selected row is a page.

The full edit screen can also include Tenwrite export controls such as:

  • output format
  • formatting mode
  • preset selection
  • preset options

These settings matter most when the post or page is linked to a Google Doc and you want Tenwrite to re-export that document with specific formatting behavior.

If the post is linked to a Google Doc and the action becomes a re-export, Tenwrite can show:

  • free trial quota warnings
  • site-level quota warnings
  • Google re-authorization notices

If Google permissions have expired, Tenwrite blocks the edit flow until you re-authorize the Google account.

When you’re done, click Update Post to save the changes.

Depending on what changed, Tenwrite either updates metadata only or re-exports the linked Google Doc into the existing WordPress post or page.
