Pages

Pages are the primary content containers used on the website for static content, such as About the IGG, Meetings & Events, Donations, etc.

Editing Pages:

To edit an existing page, first you must locate the page you want to edit. There are two ways to do this. You can either:

1. Navigate to the page you want, then click Edit Page at the top.

2. From the black admin bar on the left side of the page, go to Pages > All Pages and choose the page you want. use the Search field if necessary.

Roll over the name of the page you want to edit and a series of options will appear. Choose Edit.

• Once you get to the page you want to edit, the two main items you may want to change are:
  1. Title: Should be concise, intuitive and to the point.
  2. Body: Contains the bulk of the content on your page.

Body Field

The Body field is the most important part of your page. This field has word processing tools, similar to Microsoft Word, that are very easy to use. Click here for a list of tools in the Visual Editor and an explanation of what each one does. A few notes:

• Paragraph Styles: The style drop-down menu allows you to change the formatting of any selected text. This includes various headings and other pre-defined styles built into and customized for the IGG theme. Click here for detailed instructions.
• Paste As Text (looks a suitcase with a T): Sometimes you will be pasting text from another document. This can cause formatting problems. If you use the Paste as text button, a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text’s formatting. More info here.
• Clear Formatting (looks like an eraser): If you do have formatting problems, you can select all text and click Clear Formatting. More info here.
• Images: You can add images to your pages from your computer, another website, or your Media Library using the classic editor. Click here for detailed instructions.
