Why This Matters

Take control of your Wodify Site. Easily edit text with the simple instructions below. You have access to edit any existing text block on the site.


Pre-Requisite Pro-Tip

Your website may have text in a few different places, and where the text lives determines how you edit it. Click on the text you want to change and look for one of the following:

  1. If a small editing window appears and you don’t see a purple dotted box around any of the text, you’re editing text on a static page. Follow the directions in “How to Edit Text” below.
  2. If you see a dotted purple box around the text, or come across a message that says “This content cannot be edited. Contact your administrator,” the text is connected to a collection — a shared source of content used across multiple places on your site. Skip down to “Editing Connected Text (Through a Collection)” below.
  3. If you see “This content cannot be edited. Contact your administrator” and you’re on a dynamic page (such as a program or coach bio page), the text needs to be updated through its connected collection. See the article on editing programs or coach bios.
  4. If you’re trying to edit common business information (the logo in the header/footer, or most places your phone number, address, email, and hours appear), it’s likely connected to the site’s Business Info data. Proceed to the “Updating Business and Contact Information” section below.

Step-by-Step How to: Edit Text

  1. Navigate to the page with the text you want to edit via the page menu in the top left corner of the site editor.
  2. Click on the text you want to make changes to. You may edit the text format, font, size, color, and hyperlinks from the gray text editor bar. Click on the three dots next to the U for more editing options. 
  3. Click Republish to send your changes live.

 

Step-by-Step How to: Editing Connected Text (Through a Collection)

Some text on your site may be connected to a Collection. A Collection is a content table that lives behind the scenes and feeds information to elements on your site. This allows a single edit to update content across multiple locations at once (like with global CTA buttons or the CTA row near the footer) or to power multiple pages that share the same template (like Program pages). When text is connected to a collection, you'll update it within the Collection rather than directly on the page in the Site Editor.

Pro Tip

Look for the dotted purple box around the text. That’s the visual indicator that the content is connected to a Collection rather than the content populated  directly on the page.

  1. From the left side navigation of the website editor, click CMS > Collections.
  2. Click on the Collection that the text is connected to. Collections are typically named based on where the text is located on your site and/or what it manages. Look for one whose name matches the purpose of the text you're trying to edit, e.g. Global CTAs.
  3. Hover over the row you want to edit and click the pencil icon to edit the content.
  4. Update the text fields as needed. Any changes will apply everywhere on your site that references this collection, so updating it once will refresh every place it appears.
  5. Save your changes, then click Republish to send the updates live on your website.

 

Step-by-Step How to: Updating Business and Contact Information

Common business information — your logo, phone number, address, email, and hours — is usually connected to the site’s Business Info data. Because this content is shared across multiple pages, you’ll update it in one place and the changes apply everywhere on your site that references it.

  1. From the left side navigation of the website editor, click CMS > Business Data > Business Info.
  2. Locate the field you want to update (phone number, address, email, hours, etc.) and edit it directly.
  3. Save your changes, then click Republish to send the updates live across every page on your site that references this information.

Pro Tip

Because this content is connected, updates will apply everywhere on your site that uses this information — keeping your contact details consistent across the site automatically. If you do not see the changes, please reach out to support@wodify.com, and we’d be happy to help.

FAQs

  1. I clicked on text and got the “This content cannot be edited” message, but I’m not on a programs or coach bio page — what do I do? Answer: Look for a dotted purple box around the text. If you see one, the text is connected to a Collection — a shared source of content that’s managed in one place and displayed across multiple parts of your site. Follow the steps in “Editing Connected Text (Through a Collection)” or “Updating Business and Contact Information” above to update it through the relevant collection.
  2.  I updated text on one page, but it changed on multiple pages — why? Answer: If your text is connected to a Collection, updates made in the Collection apply everywhere the Collection is referenced. This is intentional, since it keeps shared content consistent across your site and makes it much easier to manage the content in one place. If you manually updated the text on one page and it changed on multiple pages, that means the connection to the collection may have been disrupted. Contact support@wodify.com and we can help get that fixed.
  3. Can I change fonts, colors, or sizes for individual text blocks? Answer: Yes — once you’ve clicked into a text block on a static page, use the gray text editor bar that appears. Click the three dots next to the U for the full set of formatting options including font, size, and color.

To change fonts, colors, or sizes for connected text associated with a Collection, please reach out to support@wodify.com, and we can help.
