First, you need to create a new Post (not a new Page, that’s different).
Now do the following in your new Post page:
- Add a Title to the post – the Title is at the very top of the post. The Title will appear on the slideshow photo
- Go to the Post menu in your post draft (far right of screen; there are two options, Post and Block – you want Post) and do these things:
- Scroll down and add an Excerpt. The slide will not show up unless you add the Excerpt. This will show up as the subtitle on the slideshow photo
- Scroll down and select the Category called Slideshow Posts
- Add the Featured Image – this is the photo you want to show up in the slideshow
- Under Discussion, make sure “Allow comments” and “Allow pingbacks & trackbacks” are unchecked.
- Every photo in the slideshow will have a link button on it called “Learn More” – so, on the Simple Redirect menu item at the bottom of the Post menu, choose a Page that Learn More button should link to, or add another URL altogether (like a link to a Classy donation page)
Protection is urgent. How can you help?
