Posts
Posts are used to publish news and news-related content. Posts are primarily managed within the main PNW site and can be broadcast to sites across the multisite network.
Most PNW WordPress users can submit news to the main site. After you submit content, the Marketing and Communications team will review it. Once it has been approved, it can be published on the main site and shared with subsites across the multisite network.
Key Fields for Creating a Post
Enter the “Title” of the Post in the top field of the page.
This area allows you to add additional content to the body of your post using built-in formatting and styling.
Commonly used modules include “Split Column,” “Pullquote,” and “Feature.”

Additional Post Fields
There are a number of taxonomies associated with Posts including Categories, Tags, Interest Areas, Modalities, Campuses, Colleges and Schools and Academic Departments.
All of these fields are used to add tagging data to the Post. These tags are used to sort and filter Posts into the various listing features and listing pages across the multisite structure.
Select a featured image to be displayed in the Post and in the Post listing view.
Featured images can be landscape, portrait or square ratio. The shorter side of the image should be at least 350 pixels.
Posts are created and managed on the main Purdue University Northwest site. The “Broadcast” options control how the Post is sent to other sites across the multisite network. When creating a Post, select your site to make sure the Post is broadcast to your site.
