Press Items
Press items are only featured on the home page if the "Featured" option is selected for a given post.
Up to 30 items can be featured.
Also, the custom URL will be automatically assigned to each post. There's no need to edit that field since we want the actual article link to open when these items are clicked.
Add a new press item
- Click the "+" icon to start a new record
Add the title
- The title of the article should be used as the title of this record
Add the logo
- Select the "Options" tab at the top of the editor
- Upload the press logo as the "Thumbnail Image"
- In order to ensure the site is consistent and logos are visible and not blurry, logos images should be sized to 300 x 200 (width x height) pixels
Add the Source URL
- Paste in the URL for the external article
- Make sure to check the option "Post Title should link to Source URL"
(OPtional) Set Featured Post
- At the bottom of the "Options" tab page, select the option "Featured Post" if this press item should appear on the home page
- Up to 30 items can be featured there
- You'll need to edit each press item in order to add or remove it from being featured
Save & Publish
- Select "Save & Publish" at the bottom of the popup editor
- One more mandatory step after this
Edit the date
- After publishing, find the post and select "Edit"
- In the bottom left of the popup editor, click the published date
- Change the date to the date the source article was published, not the date this particular record was created
- This is important to make sure the archive lists in the main Press page are properly organized
- Just ignore the time, and approximate if the exact date isn't known
