Managing Your Website
A reference for site owners and editors working within managed WordPress hosting.
1 What's Safe to Edit in WordPress
- Page titles (H1 headings) -- Edit via Pages > Edit > Title field. The on-page H1 pulls from the page title.
- AIOSEO settings -- SEO titles, meta descriptions, schema, Open Graph. All safe.
- AIOSEO global settings -- Sitemaps, robots.txt, title formats, social defaults.
- Page and post content -- Body content in the block editor.
- Media uploads -- Images, PDFs, videos in the Media Library.
- Contact Form 7 -- Form fields, recipients, messages.
- Menu items -- Add, remove, reorder navigation links.
- New pages and posts -- Creating new content is always safe.
- User accounts -- Create editor or author accounts as needed.
- Redirection plugin -- 301 redirects for SEO.
2 What Gets Overwritten on Theme Updates
When theme updates are deployed (bug fixes, design changes, new features), the entire theme directory is replaced.
- ! Do not edit via Appearance > Theme File Editor -- these are theme files on disk that get replaced on every deploy.
- ! Do not edit PHP or CSS files directly -- all theme files are source-controlled and deployed from the repo.
If a change involves theme files (layout, styling, new templates), submit a request through the client portal or email and the team will implement it in source code so it persists.
3 H1 Headings
The H1 heading on every page is pulled from the WordPress page title. To change an H1:
- 1 Go to Pages in WP Admin
- 2 Click Edit on the page
- 3 Change the title at the top
- 4 Click Update
The AIOSEO "SEO Title" is a separate field that controls what appears in browser tabs and search results. Changing the SEO Title does not change the on-page H1, and vice versa. Both can be set independently.
4 Installed Plugins
The following plugins are installed and managed by Phronema Labs. Do not deactivate or remove them:
| Plugin | Purpose |
|---|---|
| All in One SEO | SEO management (available for configuration) |
| Contact Form 7 | Form handling |
| WP Mail SMTP | Email delivery |
| Simple Cloudflare Turnstile | Spam protection |
| HFCM | Analytics and tracking code injection |
| Autoptimize | Performance optimization |
| WP Super Cache | Page caching |
| Redirection | 301 redirect management (safe for SEO teams to use) |
Additional plugins can be installed, but notify the team first to ensure compatibility. Do not install caching or security plugins that may conflict with server-level configuration.
5 Forms
All contact forms route through Contact Form 7 + Brevo (email delivery) + Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection). To change where form submissions are sent:
- 1 Go to Contact > Contact Forms
- 2 Edit the form
- 3 Change the "To" field in the Mail tab
- 4 Save
Do not change SMTP or Turnstile settings.
6 Analytics
GTM and GA4 are injected via the HFCM plugin (Settings > HFCM). Additional tracking snippets can be added here without touching theme files.
