Website Guide

For general WordPress instructions (not tied specifically to your site), I recommend googling or using ChatGPT.

Add/Edit Content on Existing Website Page

  • from the left sidebar in the website dashboard click on ‘Imagely’ > Galleries
  • click on the the gallery you wish to edit (you need to click on the gallery title)
  • from here you can add, remove re-order images within the gallery
  • click the Next Step button until you see the Update button and click Update (I recommend not making any changes to the gallery settings)
  • changes will appear on whatever pages have the gallery shortcode.

Add News Item

  • from the left sidebar in the website dashboard click on ‘Posts’ > Add Post
  • Add Title
  • Add content to content area using the desired blocks (i.e. headings, paragraph, image, etc.)
  • Click Publish (or save as draft to work on or publish later)
  • Once published the news item will be added to the Home page and News & Events Page

Change Homepage Poster/Picture

  • From the website dashboard go to ‘Pages’ > find the home page marked as ‘Front page’ – it currently the last page listed
  • hover over the title and click ‘Edit’
  • click on the current image and click “replace’ in the tool bar that appears above the image
  • upload a new image or choose from the media library
  • once the image is inserted in the page you can adjust the size as needed by clicking on the image > clicking the styles icon (b/w circle icon) > set the width as desired i.e. 400px and leave length blank
  • click ‘Save’
  • from the left sidebar of the website dashboard click ‘Imagely’ > ‘Galleries’
  • select the desired gallery by clicking on the Gallery name
  • add, delete, re-order images as desired
  • click ‘Next Step’ button twice until you get to the ‘Update’ button (I recommend not changing settings)
  • Click ‘Update’ to activate the changes wherever the gallery has been added
  • from the left sidebar of the website dashboard click ‘Imagely’ > ‘Add New Gallery’
  • add a gallery title
  • click ‘Browse from Computer’ and select the images to be uploaded the the new gallery
  • click ‘Next Step’ button twice until you get to the ‘Update’ button (I recommend not changing settings)
  • Click ‘Update’
  • Copy the Shortcode that appears
  • Add this shortcode to the page where you want the gallery to appear (see instructions for adding Shortcode below)

Check Contact Form Entries

  • from the left sidebar of the website dashboard click ‘Forminator’ > ‘Submissions’
  • from her you can view all submissions and confirm that you are getting everything. If there are submissions for which you have not received an email notification, the notifications are likely flagged as spam. You will need to contact your email provider to resolve – this rarely goes well so you may just need to check submissions through the site periodically.

Miscellaneous Tasks

These tasks are performed on the editing screen of the page or post you wish to edit.

Add Image to Page

  • click the space where you want the image to go, and you’ll see a black ‘+’ icon box appear
  • click the ‘+’ icon and the ‘Image’ element should show in the options box. If not enter it in search field and then click
  • upload your image or choose from the media library if it has already been uploaded
  • once the image is inserted in the page you can:
    • adjust the size as needed by clicking on the image > clicking the styles icon (b/w circle icon) > set the width as desired i.e. 400px and leave length blank
    • wrap text around image by clicking on the image > a small toolbar will appear above the image > click the alignment icon (rectangle between two lines) > select ‘align right’ or ‘align left’. Be sure to adjust your image size to give the text lots of room. To let the image float on it’s own you can select ‘None’ or ‘align center’
  • right click and highlight text to be hyperlinked
  • a small toolbar will appear above the highlighted text > click the paperclip icon (-)
  • paste the URL in the box that appears – ensure it’s a compete url with ‘https://..’
  • click the curved arrow to submit the link

Add Dividing Line Between Content

  • click the space where you want the line to go and you’ll see a black ‘+’ icon box appear
  • click the ‘+’ icon and the ‘separator’ element should show in the options box. If not enter it in search field and then click

Add Spacing

Sometimes pieces of content can be too close together. For example images have little padding on top and bottom and can seem cramped. To add extra spacing:

  • click the space where you want the extra space i.e. above an image > you’ll see a black ‘+’ icon box appear
  • click the ‘+’ icon and the ‘spacing’ element should show in the options box. If not enter it in search field and then click
  • the spacing can be adjusted in the height box in right sidebar. Try 30px, that should be sufficient, (Be sure the sidebar has the ‘Block’ tab active, rather than the ‘Post’ tab).

Add Gallery Shortcode

The shortcode can be added anywhere on the page where you want a gallery to appear

  • click the space where you want the extra space i.e. above an image > you’ll see a black ‘+’ icon box appear
  • click the ‘+’ icon and the ‘shortcode’ element should show in the options box. If not enter it in search field and then click
  • paste the shortcode in the box that appears
