Most CAHNRS websites use the Ignite Theme, which is what this training focuses on. If you have an older pagebuilder, you will need to contact the Web Service Center at cahnrs.web.support@wsu.edu for further assistance.

Images
There are several ways to add an image to a webpage. Three are briefly covered in the Adding Images video. I recommend using the textblock for images.
You can try these items too: Figure/Caption, Image, and Table.
Feeds
Several items allow you to display feeds from your site, such as blog posts, or other sites. I recommend trying these feeds out to determine how you want the feed to display.
These items will display the feeds differently: Promos, Content Feed, Post/Page List, and Post Gallery.
FAQ
This is a typical question/answer item. On the webpage, clicking on the question reveals the answer.
Video
You have the option to add a YouTube or Vimeo video with this item. You’ll use the sequence of numbers and characters that identify the video found in the video’s URL.
Tabs and AZ Index
These options have been deprecated and should no longer be used.
Sidebar (Widgets) and Theme Parts
These items allow you to use Widgets or Theme Part items you create.
- Program Template (Google Drive Video)
- Promos on the Homepage
- The top two promos on the homepage of a county site have unique styling.
- They consist of an image, title, and link. They do not display the summary properly. Adding a summary will mess up the layout of the promos in that right column of the homepage.
