WordPress Tips
- When creating pages for logged in users, make sure to select the Page Attributes/Template on the right side when editing the page. By selecting Board Members Only or Board Member Extra (based on who you want to be able to access it) causes the page to make sure the user is logged in to see it.
- Be aware that when you use tables for layout purposes on a page that does have a negative effect on mobile users. Tables don’t resize dynamically like the rest of the site when viewing on smaller screens, so mobile users might get a horizontal scroll bar on that page.
- To update links in the floating blocks on the Home Page, go to “Smart Blocks.”
- Menus are found under “Appearance.”
