You have received your login and after activation, your password? You are ready to dig into your new website. But before we can publish it officially, let’s make sure all the information is correct.
In the email you received with your password, you have received a link ending in wp-login.php. Use it to connect to the admin interface of your site.
You may have noticed that we have filled the site with some dummy data (especially in the News / Volunteer part). Make sure you remove these and add your own content instead.
While most of the other content is generic and valid for all cities, we understand that you may need to personalise it a little bit.
Homepage
- The first row of animated columns may differ from city to city (see: Animated Columns).
- You may only use the news to post short updates, without pictures. If this is the case, let us know and we will find the appropriate presentation for you.
- You may or may not work with Partners & Sponsors, in which case you would need to remove / edit this part (see: Clients).
About
- Cities may focus on specific groups of people. We included 10.
Volunteer
- By default, the volunteer page will display all upcoming events. You may want to have a different structure.
News
- While we know people’s attention is more easily caught with images / videos, we understand that not every city will have the resources to write long news stories with compelling visuals (btw, Unsplash is a royalty free source of pictures where you may find happiness). If this is your case, as mentioned above, let us know and we will find the best presentation for your needs.
Contact
- Not every city is at the same stage. Some have a fixed office, some don’t. By default we preferred to give the more options and scale down when needed than going the other way. Feel free to remove the information that is not relevant here.
Donate
- If you do not have one yet, we encourage you to open a Paypal account and a bank account, to be able to receive donations. However, we are not aware of every country’s legislation on this matter so please check this.
- If you gave us your Paypal address, we have already integrated the form to Paypal, and donations made via this form will arrive straight to your Paypal account. However, if you have not, you will need to set up the Paypal feed (see: Forms > Paypal feed).
- You will also want to change the bank information so they are relevant for yourself.
What else?
- Maybe this is all you need, or maybe you have some specific content you would like to show. If this is the case, create new pages (see: Manage Pages), and add them to the navigation menu (see: Navigation Menu).
