When to Contact Your Web Admin

A clear list of scenarios that should always be escalated to the web admin rather than self-solved.

Part of being a good content editor is knowing when something is outside your scope and when to ask for help. Here’s a straightforward list of situations where you should contact your web admin instead of trying to solve it yourself.

Always Contact Your Web Admin When You Need To:

  • Add a new page to the site
  • Remove a page from the site
  • Add, move, or remove a link from the navigation menu
  • Change the page template or overall layout of a page
  • Install, update, or deactivate a plugin
  • Change fonts, brand colors, or any site-wide design setting
  • Fix a form that isn’t submitting correctly
  • Create, edit, or delete a user account
  • Respond to a WordPress update notification
  • Recover something you accidentally deleted and can’t find in Trash
  • Edit ACF custom fields (those special fields outside BeaverBuilder)
  • Touch any code — PHP, CSS, JavaScript, or HTML

Also Contact Your Admin When:

  • Something on the site looks broken and you didn’t change it
  • A page is displaying strangely on mobile but looked fine on desktop
  • You see an error message you don’t recognize
  • You’re unsure whether a change is safe to make

How to Write a Helpful Support Request

When you reach out, your web admin will be able to help you faster if you include:

  • The URL of the page that has the issue
  • A screenshot of what you’re seeing
  • What you were trying to do
  • What happened instead
  • Whether the issue appears on desktop, mobile, or both

💡 Tip: When in doubt, reach out. No question is too small. It’s always faster to ask first than to fix a problem after the fact.
