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.
Open the Full Edit Screen
Section titled “Open the Full Edit Screen”- Log in to the Tenwrite Web Dashboard.
- Click WordPress > Posts.
- Find the post or page you want to change.
- Open the row’s Options menu.
- Click Full Edit.
What You Can See at the Top
Section titled “What You Can See at the Top”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.
Basic Post or Page Settings
Section titled “Basic Post or Page Settings”The full edit form can include:
- Title
- Custom URL Slug
- Excerpt
- Status
For scheduled WordPress items, Tenwrite can also show Publish Date.
WordPress Post Settings
Section titled “WordPress Post Settings”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.
SEO Fields
Section titled “SEO Fields”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
WordPress Page Settings
Section titled “WordPress Page Settings”For WordPress pages, Tenwrite can also show:
- Parent page ID
- Page Order
These page-only fields appear when the selected row is a page.
Formatting and Export Settings
Section titled “Formatting and Export Settings”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.
Quota and Export Warnings
Section titled “Quota and Export Warnings”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.
Update the Post or Page
Section titled “Update the Post or Page”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.
