Content types

There are two types of content on the site:

  • Pages. The home page, and all the pages referenced on the navigation bar at the top of the page, and this defines the construction of the site. These are listed by clicking “Pages” on the admin tabs.
  • Posts. All blog entries are posts. Be sure to click ‘blog’ in the “Categories” section on the right side of the edit page, or they won’t appear in the blog. These can be listed by clicking on “Posts” in the admin tabs.

Plugins:

  • Akismet. Anti-spam protection.
  • Duplicator Pro. The backup plugin. Backups are taken on a schedule, controlled by this plugin.
  • GP Premium. Provided by the theme builder, GeneratePress, that adds additional features.

Language selection

Each page and post that has a Spanish translation must have the liter “-sp” at the end of the title. That also applies to the slug. You can find the slug by clicking on Quick Edit-the slug will appear directly below the title of the page or post. You’ll also see Category on the Quick Edit screen-it must be English for the English version of the page, and Spanish for the Spanish version.
