How to manage instrument listings on Wordpress


  1. Go to https://stirlingmill.ca/admin
  2. Log in with the credentials that were provided for you by the website admin
  3. In the left-hand column, click on “Instruments”

Adding New Instruments

  1. Click on “Add New” button at the top, beside the page title “Instruments”
  2. “Add title” should be the instruments internal catalogue number, such as “ACC-001”
  3. The “Type / to choose a block” section should contain a basic description of the instrument. Usually this is retrieved from the master inventory spreadsheet in the Stirling MILL shared Google Drive.
  4. Then add the data: Stirling Library Cat Number, Call Number ID (same as the “Add title” value), Classification, Type of Instrument (check other instruments of similar type from the list on Wordpress to determine what is appropriate to enter here), its Common Name (e.g. “Yamaha 6-string guitar”) and indicate whether it is available or not.
  5. Click “Publish”
  6. Use the back button to get back to the master list of instruments

  1. Click on the instrument you want to edit from the list
  2. Edit the fields that require updating
