How to update an already published content. The right way.
As we all know, with Wordpress is super-easy to create content.
And similarly, it's super easy to edit or update an already published post or page ...
All you have to do, is to make the desired changes and to hit the "Publish" button again ...
Simple isn't it?
Well ... the truth is that is not always that simple.
Why?
Because, saving your "new work" in an already published live post or page, will make those changes instantly visible ... And obviously, that could create weird outcomes if you can't implement all the changes in one single session ...
A possible option is to duplicate the live post (into a new draft), to edit the new draft, and finally, to paste it into the original or to publish it as a new version while the old one will be deleted ...
Recently I published a tutorial discussing a simple solution that will allow you to easily duplicate your posts or pages ... Here it is again:
Why & How to clone a post or a page with one single click
The above method can be very useful when you want to quickly create an initial frame for a new post or page with content structure, formatting attributes, SEO settings, featured image, etc included.
However, it could be also problematic when you want to update an already published live content piece. And there are various reasons: different publishing dates, automatically created new slugs, a newly published "replacement" isn't indexed, etc.
But don't wory, there is a very easy solution that will allow you to avoid the above issues ... And I've decided to create this short tutorial to show you how easy is to properly update live posts and pages without affecting the live version ...

That's not an editor Carlos ... That's a SEO plugin
You can create content in Site Content, Gutenberg or Classic Editor ...

I create content in Site Content and publish there. When I check the website's dashboard and select post to edit the post comes up.
It shows that I can change paragraphs to various Heading sizes but there is no button to change font size.What I want to do is to increase the size of the word that I am linking to a product.I have not downloaded any special Editor so I assume it is the wordpress editor.Thanks.
Looks helpful. I probably have about 1000 trainings from you I need to catch up on by now ;)
