Adding and Editing Content:
Getting Started:
- There are three tabs above the page editor: VISUAL, TEXT and PAGE BUILDER. Make sure the tab that says VISUAL is selected. A small number of your pages may have been built using the Page Builder – ask for more help if you need to edit these. If you get stuck and all you see is code, you may be on the TEXT editor by mistake … just click on the VISUAL tab and you will be fine.
- Pasting text from MS Word or an email should be OK, but if things look off, try pasting as PLAIN text. If you use Chrome, you can right-click your mouse to paste as plain text. Or, use the clipboard tool (4th from left, 2nd row, black square with a T on it)
- Pick your categories before you post (they are easy to change, though).
- Please include at least 1 nice photo in each post. Either use a new one or pick one from the Media Library.
- Save it as a DRAFT or PENDING REVIEW if you don’t want folks to see it just yet. You can even change the status after it has been “PUBLISHED.”
BEFORE: This is a POST
AFTER: This is the same post (in this example it is PUBLISHED but set to PRIVATE so that it does not show up on the site).
How to add a “Post” (news article):

How to create a hyperlink to a page on this site or to a page that is off the site: (like this)

How to add an image (picture, flyer, .jpg etc.) to your post or page:
This also works for video files! (note that we don’t use Descriptions)
Choose your favorite image to be the “Featured Image” (set featured image).
How to add a PDF File to your post or page:
If you export your MS Office, etc. files to a PDF file, or scan them with settings to enable text recognition, they should be accessible by people as well as Google. Avoid saving PDF files as images.
There are two ways to insert PDF Files — Just show the title of the document or Embed the document.
- Just the title — Here is an example: Agenda May 11 2021
Follow the same procedure as for images — https://easywpguide.com/wordpress-manual/adding-your-site-content/classic-editor/adding-images-other-media/inserting-an-image/
Which is: Add Media > Upload the file or choose it from the Media Library. For a PDF file, the document title will show up instead of an image. It’s easier to create the title as shown in Step 2 below, but if you don’t, you can still edit it after you insert the PDF file title on your page. Doing so does not change the actual file name.
2. Or Embed the document into the post or page. Click this link to see is an example — you can view a whole page https://vanalstynechamber.org/agenda-may-11-2021/
First, create a new post or open a post/page for editing. Then click ADD DOCUMENT.
Choose UPLOAD DOCUMENT either to add a file from your computer or something that is already in the media library.
The default settings should be fine. I like to have 100% w and h and allow the DOWNLOAD LINK. Either VIEWER (Google Docs or Browser-based works). Click INSERT and you will see some code in brackets. The PDF file will show up when you preview your page.
Ask your Webmaster to change these for you:
- E-mail Forms – Content and Routing (changing an e-mail address the form is delivered to).
- Items in the sidebar, header, etc.
- Home Page or any other pages with complicated design (“Page Builder”).
- Adding or deleting Pages or changing site navigation (changing a menu). Editors may add a Page, but new pages have to manually be added to (and removed from) the navigation menu.
