Posts Tutorial

Published by Nuno Rodrigues on

The text above is used as a title, but it won’t show up while the user is read­ing this text. To add a title to the post, the block “Head­ing” has to be used. Like this:

Post Title using a Heading

This text, how­ev­er, can be used to briefly decribe the post (News / Event).

A Head­ing for sub­ti­tle (H3) can also be used below the title, instead of this text.

Subtitle

As for the news, it’s eas­i­ly added with a Enter or with a Para­graph text.

To make the page assume a full width look, a “Row Lay­out” block has to be added.

Like this:

1 — Click the blue but­ton in the top right cor­ner to open the Blocks Menu
2 — Select Row Lay­out and drag it to the editor
3 — After select­ing the desired Lay­out, select the width set­tings icon and choose Full Width. 
4 — Click on the con­tent width set­tings icon and enter a cus­tom width of 1600px
5 — The block is now ready to be cus­tomized and the desired con­tent can be added.

After this process, the con­tent will assume this look, using a width of 1600px to fill most of mod­ern screens.

Oth­er­wise, it will look like this. Vis­it the Post Exam­ple page to see an exam­ple of a post.

Addi­tion­al­ly, cus­tom blocks have been cre­at­ed so that this process can be skipped. They can be added from the Block Menu, in the Reusable tab.

1 — Open the Block Menu, click on the Reusable tab and drag and drop the reusable block in the editor.
2 — Make sure to con­vert the Reusable block into a reg­u­lar block using the Reusable block set­tings menu or all changes done to the block will be applied to the reusable block.

Make sure to set the cat­e­go­ry of the post to either EVENTS or NEWS so that it shows on the main page, and set a fea­tured image for the post, in the side­bar of the edi­tor. Select dis­able foot­er and once you’re ready to pub­lish, hit the blue but­ton “Pub­lish” on the top-right cor­ner. The plu­g­ins and word­press will then show the post in the the main page, oth­er posts sec­tions and cat­e­go­ry spe­cif­ic pages.
