WordPress Primer Version 9

1 Introduction Trinity Website Re-design Project WordPress Primer Version 9 Trinity s re-designed website employs WordPress as its content management system. Trinity people who enter content at the website will need to understand three frequently-used WordPress formats: PAGEs; POSTs; WIDGETs. The website employs PAGE and POST templates that facilitate content input and maintain a uniform website look. PAGEs (PAGE Templates 01 06) Typically used for more static information. Content doesn't change that often, does not typically require regular updating Content is entered directly in template. Header, footer and layout are determined by which PAGE Template is selected. POSTs (POST Templates 01, 02) Typically used for more dynamic information. Content changes relatively frequently; is regularly updated, added, replaced; prior content can be archived for recall. Content is entered directly in template. POST content automatically populates (i.e., inserts content into) three PAGE templates (01, 02, 06). Header, footer and layout are determined by which POST template is selected. WIDGETs (No templates. Formatting built into type of WIDGET selected for use) Content amplifies given PAGE or POST content. WIDGETs typically add How / What / When / Where / Who information that Trinity wants visible at many windows of its website. 1 Usually placed in Sidebar area a column at right (or sometimes, left) of a visible window. PAGE WIDGETs appear on PAGE Templates 04, 06 same content each time PAGE WIDGET appears. POST WIDGETs appear on POST Template 01 same content each time POST WIDGET appears. PAGE WIDGET content and POST WIDGET content can be different from each other. 1 For example, answer website visitor questions like: How do I contact church office? What s going on this week? When are your services? Where are you located? 1

5 Template Overviews The following compilation presents information about six PAGE and two POST templates. Each template overview: presents the template name; provides a picture of a typical example; describes the template structure;, and, offers examples of how the template might be used to display Trinity s current website content. Trinity s template names are suggestive of layout. Each template name is structured to fit within the WordPress 36-character-and-space count naming limitation. WIDGETs used on Trinity s website derive from default WIDGETs supplied by WordPress as well as others selected from 3 rd party sources. Formatting is pre-determined based on the specific type of WIDGET selected. In effect, each WIDGET is its own template. Thus there is no finite set of templates that need be understood and chosen among for using on Trinity s website. 5

6 Default PAGE 01 Wide Col., Sidebar Chapel on the Green Helping bring Good News to people who haven t had any in a long time. In the summer of 2008, Trinity on the Green partnered with community agencies and clergy from other churches to launch Chapel on the Green. This outdoor service began on All Saints Sunday in November of It is based on the Common Cathedral in Boston. Every Sunday at 2:00 pm people gather on the Upper Green (directly behind Trinity) for a brief (25-30 minute) service of Holy Eucharist in all sorts of weather. We do not cancel services due to weather. Communion We use grape juice to stand in solidarity with those who do not drink alcohol. We believe this is God's table and all are welcome to receive Coummunion. ALL are welcome! This service has attracted a wide variety of people across New Haven: those interested in social justice, the homeless, or anyone that does not feel comfortable in a church building. Join our drum circle before the service at 1:30 pm. Following the service, we distribute bagged lunches to all those in need.
