More on the Related Content Block:

Use the Related Content Block to pull Programs, Artists and Posts onto a page. You can select up to five columns and select the preferred background color. Within that content block, you can also select your desired post type (Artists, Posts, Programs) and filter that post type by different categories. Artists can be filtered by Program or Art Form. Posts can be filtered by All and Categories. Programs can be filtered by All.

Each artist can also be associated with one or more Programs and/or Art Form. To associate an artist with an Art Form/Program, go to the Artists custom post type and edit an artist. In the right menu, you’ll see a dropdown for Art Forms and Programs. Select the Programs/Art Forms you’d like that artist to be associated with.

Once you’ve associated each artist with a Program/Art Form, navigate to the “Creative Aging” page, for example. Within that related content block you have the option to choose from “All,” “Art Forms,” and “Programs.” Select “Programs.” Then, select “Creative Aging” from the dropdown. Click “Update” and the “Creative Aging” content block will only display the artists that have been categorized as “Creative Aging.”

Menus

There are 3 different menus that exist on the website.

Primary Navigation — this is the main navigation on the white bar.
Secondary Navigation — this is the navigation at the top of the site, in the right side of the white bar.
Footer Navigation — this is the navigation that lives in the footer of the site.

There are a few rules to remember with the navigation for this website.

Keep the navigation titles short and clear. This site has navigation (especially in the Primary and Secondary menus) that is designed specifically to the current number and length of items. If these are edited to longer names, it may break the bars.
Only the Primary Navigation is set up for sub navigation with the dropdown of child pages. Sub nav is not designed for the Secondary or Footer nav. Nor can you have a third tier of pages in the main nav.
Do not change the settings of the menus on the backend. This may change what menus are pulled into different locations and break the navigation.

To edit the menus, go to Appearances on the backend and click Menus.

At the top of the page, select the menu that you wish to edit and click Select
Under Add Menu Items, check the pages that you want to appear in the menu and click Add to Menu. These will appear at the bottom of the menu.
- Note: if you don’t see certain content show up (i.e. Pages), go to Screen Options as the very top of the page, and check the items that you want to appear.
Drag and drop these items to appear in the order that you wish. To set a Page as. a sub nav item, just click and pull the item to the “sub item” indented position.
Update the name of the Nav item by clicking on the down arrow and typing in the “Navigation Label”
Click SAVE MENU to update the site

Options

There are certain site-wide options available in the Options tab. In the back-end of WordPress, click on the Options tab in the left-hand sidebar.

Contact Info – This is where you can edit the Think360 Arts address, phone number, and email address.
Social Links – Enter URLs for your Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts. Icons will automatically appear in the footer when these fields are filled in. You can reorder the icons.

Text Formatting

IMPORTANT: when copying and pasting text from a previous source, please first paste this text into a plain-text editor, such as Notepad. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut, CTRL + Shift + V to copy text from another source without HTML formatting. Styles copied from another source without removing HTML markup may interfere with the formatting.

To insert a line break that you do not want to be double-spaced (i.e. an address) insert the text, then click the three vertical dots in the text editor menu and select “Edit as HTML.” Within the HTML, you can insert the break tag <br> after every line. When you are finished editing as HTML, you can click the three vertical dots and select “Edit Visually” to return to the visual editor.

Image Sizes

There are specific images that will be cropped to a certain dimension to fit the design. If the uploaded image does not at least meet the cropped dimensions below, it may look pixelated.

NOTE: The crop will only occur if the image size is LARGER than the dimensions listed below.

Program Featured Image: 1000 x 600 pixels
Artist Featured Image: 500×600 pixels
Interior Page Hero: 1728 x 400 pixels (proportionally resized to fit inside dimensions)
