Splash Publishing Instructions

How to Input Approved Splash Content as Posts

  1. Once content is approved,  begin to input articles into  WordPress Administration area under Posts –> Add New 
  2. Start with the last article/post and work backwards towards the first, so that the homepage sort order is correct at the end.  The order of homepage posts is descending from most recent on top.  If needed later use the Publish on: time to adjust order of articles.
  3. Content: For each Post input the post Title and Content, and format the content.  Select a single Category for the post.
  4. Image: For each Post input the image name into the custom field “article-image” (See section below for image naming conventions.)
  5. Publish: When a post, image name and formatting is complete its time to Publish the post.  Use the Publish on:  feature to set the date of the post on the Thursday of the same week. Click Update to publish the post (at the future date).
  6. Send to Translation:  in the sidebar under Language –> “Professional Translation” click to select all 6 languages and then click “Send to Translation”.
  7. Repeat steps for each article. Until all articles are added and sent to translation.
  8. Check translation jobs: Visit the WMPL –> Translation  Management –> Translation Jobs (TAB)  to make sure that all posts have been submitted as a translation job for each of the languages.

 


How to Add Images and Image Names

For each Post add the image name into the custom field called “article-image”. If you do not see the Custom Fields section, scroll to the top of the post page and click “Screen Options”  and make sure “Custom Fields” is checked.
