TIP: Copy + Paste Blocks\/Styles<\/strong><\/summary>\nIt\u2019s been done before, so don\u2019t start from scratch! It\u2019s possible to copy and paste a block or a set of blocks. This is a great way to repeat design elements to ensure the site design is consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- When a block (or blocks, using the shift key) is selected, select the three vertical dots to the right. (This could be in the block menu within the page content editor OR the block menu in the Document Overview view.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then click copy block(s).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

\nWordPress VIP is different than WordPress. Don\u2019t log in with WordPress.com. Instead, use the username\/password option.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nHi [new editor],<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve added you as an editor to our “insert club name<\/strong>” website. A system-generated invitation email was sent to [email address used during user setup] from donotreply@wpvip.com (check spam, if needed). (No need to create your own WordPress login at wordpress.com.) Once you click the confirmation link, your account will be created, and you\u2019ll set up a password. Note, the confirmation link will expire in a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll log in here:\u00a0instertyourdomain<\/strong>.com\/wp-admin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have access, it\u2019s time to dive into WordPress training (located within the Dashboard of our website, under the tab \u201cVideo Tutorials<\/a>\u201c). This week you\u2019ll want to carve out time to watch all of the training videos at least once, which should take about an hour. These videos are very basic WP concepts but will help familiarize you with key terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More training content is housed on our Site Guide \u2192<\/strong> https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/diamondallegiance\/site-guide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have questions, you can start by emailing ENTER NEW NAME<\/strong>. If we\u2019re stuck, we can reach out to websites@sportsengine.com for technical assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nDashboard<\/strong><\/summary>
\n\n\nThe WordPress Dashboard is your website\u2019s control center, offering a comprehensive range of management options. It provides access to settings, user management, and content creation tools. It serves as the central hub for managing your entire website.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\ndashboard overview<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\nAdmin Bar<\/strong><\/summary>
\nThe admin bar is a convenient toolbar that appears at the top of your website when you\u2019re logged in as an administrator. It provides quick access to essential functions, such as adding new posts or pages, moderating comments, and accessing the Dashboard directly while you browse your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nadmin bar overview<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\nCustomizer<\/strong><\/summary>
\nThe Customizer tool focuses specifically on customizing your website\u2019s global appearance. It allows you to modify your menu, global ads, widgets, and other visual elements. With the Customizer, you can preview changes in real-time before applying them, ensuring you can fine-tune your site\u2019s look to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThere are two ways to access the Customizer. The easiest way is to select “Customize” located in the admin bar while you are logged in.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe other option to access the Customizer is through the dashboard. Hover over “Appearance” in the left panel \u2192<\/strong> Customize.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Menus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nStart with the WordPress Basics<\/strong><\/summary>
\nYou have full control to build menus as you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Pages aren\u2019t automatically added to menus. As you create pages, you can decide if they should live in your navigation or not<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Menus can accommodate various types of content including pages, posts (like rosters, videos, articles), or links (internal or external)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMenus\u201d includes your main mega menu, secondary menu, and footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menus can be updated in two areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Appearance \u2192 Menus<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Customizer \u2192<\/strong> Menus<\/strong>\n
- \n
- The advantage of the latter is that it allows updates to be made while previewing them on the site, as well as that it allows the easy creation of pages when adding pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nWatch video 15<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Manage Your Main Navigation Button<\/strong><\/summary>
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis button title and target are updated in the Customizer \u2192<\/strong> Header & Navigation \u2192<\/strong> Featured Slot 2. When changing the title, MAKE IT ALL CAPS to match site design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Manage Your Secondary Menu<\/strong><\/summary>
\nThe link titles and targets are managed within Menus \u2192<\/strong> \u201cHeader Menu \u2013 Secondary Menu\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The search icon can be toggled on\/off in the Customizer \u2192<\/strong> Header & Navigation \u2192<\/strong> Secondary Menu Featured Slot 1.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Manage Your Footer<\/strong><\/summary>
\nYour footer links are made up of three menus, one for each column. Edit the link titles and targets in Appearance \u2192<\/strong> Menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other footer items are managed in the Customizer \u2192<\/strong> Footer Settings, but we don\u2019t recommend changing those.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Breadcrumb Menus<\/strong><\/summary>
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBreadcrumb menus in WordPress provide a navigational aid that displays the hierarchical structure of your website, making it easier for visitors to understand their current location. To nest child pages under a parent page, go to the WordPress Dashboard, and navigate to \u201cPages<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Search for the child page that needs nesting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click \u201cQuick Edit\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Find the parent page in the \u201cParent\u201d drop-down menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the blue \u201cUpdate\u201d button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re on the page making edits, this setting can also be updated in the page attributes section on the right-hand side.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
