    Hi,
    I created my blog this pm and I cannot edit the welcome text on the front page like ‘Hello world’. I would like to replace it with my own text. I clicked on Edit to delete it but nothing happen. I also clicked on Start a new post but it doesn’t work. I paid and activated my account today. Do I have to wait or is there an error? I already deleted the cookies. Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Thanks for the link. But I didn’t save my first page. I selected Hemingway theme and downloaded the images etc… and wanted to remove the text that was on the Hemingway theme at the beginning. How can I do to delete it on my blog? I didn’t save and published anything. It is not on the internet… not yet…

    Exactly what text do you want to remove?

    re: changing a site title or tagline
    The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.
    http://savebiodiversity.net/wp-admin/options-general.php

    That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

    To edit any post go to Dashboard > Posts > All Posts
    http://savebiodiversity.net/wp-admin/edit.php
    Hover over the post title and click the Edit link.

    To delete any post go to > Dashboard > Posts> All Posts
    http://savebiodiversity.net/wp-admin/edit.php
    Hover over the post title and click the Trash link.

    I copy-pasted the text that was originally on Hemingway theme when I selected it:

    Hello world!
    AUGUST 18, 2015 / LEAVE A COMMENT / EDIT
    This is your very first post. Click the Edit link to modify or delete it, or start a new post. If you like, use this post to tell readers why you started this blog and what you plan to do with it.

    Happy blogging!

    This is the text that I want to delete and I cannot….
