  I just need to delete one word in a post and replace it with another word (someone’s name, for privacy purposes). I can’t see how to do it.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  This doesn’t actually help – I have of course been on editor already but I can’t see from there how to delete one word from a post and replace it with another word.

  What is the word you’re trying to replace, and the URL of the post or page you’re trying to replace it on?

  Ah, that’s not actually on that page, technically, that’s the problem.

  It’s part of this post https://guirisingranada.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/the-start-of-it/ and the page you’re trying to edit just automatically includes your posts.

  So, following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/posts/ just edit the post titled “The Start of it” and scroll down to “Luz” where you can delete that and type “Ester” in its place.

  That’s exactly what I couldn’t do yesterday, I tried many times! But this morning I closed the site, reopened it and it worked, phew! Thanks.
