News & categories

News & categories

The News section is a blog / article feed. Posts are shown at /news, an individual article at /news/{slug}.

Creating an article

  1. News → Create.
  2. Fill in:
    • Title and URL (slug).
    • The article text.
    • Category (optional).
    • Image (cover) — picked from Media.
    • Status — Draft/Published.
    • Publish date — controls the order in the feed.
  3. Save.

Published articles automatically appear:

  • in the /news feed;
  • in the RSS (/rss.xml);
  • in the sitemap (/sitemap.xml);
  • in the "latest news" block on the home page (if the theme outputs it).

Categories

The Categories section groups articles by topic. A category is available at /category/{slug} and shows all of its published posts.

  1. Categories → Create — set a name and slug.
  2. When creating/editing an article, pick a category.

SEO

Like pages, an article has an SEO title, description and OG image. Fill these in for articles that should index well.

Comments

If comments are enabled, visitors can leave them under an article. New comments go to moderation — the Comments section:

  • approve — the comment appears on the site;
  • reject/delete — it won't be shown.

The number of comments awaiting moderation is shown in the notifications "bell".

Custom fields

If articles need extra fields (expert author, reading time, etc.), add them in the Custom fields section and then fill them in when editing an article. In the template they're available as {news.fields.<field_slug>}.
