Learning WordPress on the Mizzou Base Theme

About This Site

Digital Service has built the MU WordPress Base Theme to make online content management as easy as possible for the various entities around campus. It includes a core set of styling and tools to help a university affiliated website feel like a university affiliated website, utilizing the approved Brand & Identity standards.

This site is intended to train users in the use of basic WordPress Block Editor content management. The website that you will be managing content for may have more custom features than are available on this “base theme only” site. If so, you can obtain more site specific training/documentation by reaching out directly to Digital Service.
