SUPER SHORT VERSION:

In the Single Back Issue and 6 Back Issues posts, add two issues ago to the issue’ descriptions and the Attributes list(s).


GENERAL SIDE NOTE: To edit’ products, you can go to the’ Products list in the WordPress’ dashboard, but the easiest way to edit something that is’ already posted is to log in’ (if you haven’t already),’ go to the front page of the store site (store.maximumrocknroll.com), click on’ the item’ you want to edit,’ then’ click Edit Product in the admin bar at the top:

Edit product from storefront

Even easier than that, though, for the purposes of these instructions, here are direct links to the editing pages for the two items’ you will be updating here:
Single Back Issue
6 Back Issues
