All websites should have at least one in-house person to edit and update the site, with a potential of up to three users. These users will receive training from the Krieger web communications team, and are expected to uphold web writing best practices and accessibility requirements. Users should be:

  • Faculty
  • Staff
  • Dedicated graduate students who will be working with the department or lab for more than a year.

Undergraduate students cannot be editors of a website. If you have a question about who is the editor for your site, please contact the Krieger web team.

Assigning new users

If you’ve never used a Krieger website before or want to add a new user, start by having that user log into the correct installation with their JHED id.

For department sites, that means logging in at krieger.jhu.edu/wp-admin. For faculty or lab sites, please log in at sites.krieger.jhu.edu/wp-admin. Users will need to be on campus or connected to the VPN to complete this step.

Once the user has logged in, submit a web request asking for them to be assigned to specific sites. Department and program site users must take an additional training before they can start editing the site.

Logging In

Once you have access, you can log in from a computer on campus, or log in while connected to the VPN from elsewhere.

Access your site by adding /wp-admin to the URL of the site you need to access. This will work for any Krieger site (or any WordPress site you have access to). For example:

  • To log into the sociology site, the link is https://soc.jhu.edu/wp-admin or krieger.jhu.edu/sociology/wp-admin.
  • To log into a faculty or lab site, you can use https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/XX/wp-admin
