Highlights are on the Home Page: three columns for libraries to highlight various programs, services or events.

  1. Log into your LibPress website, go to your Dashboard and click Highlights in the left-hand navigation pane.
  2. This page displays all of the Highlights you’ve created in the past. NOTE: You can only have 3 Published highlights at a time. Other highlights can be saved as Draft for future use.
  3. You can add a new Highlight in the same way you add a new page by clicking Add New at the top of the page.
  4. Add text, images (including your own local or shared media) and links in the same way you do for a page.
  5. To link a Highlight to another page or blog post on your website, select the title of the target page from the drop down list titled Link Highlight to Page/Post. Entries in the drop list are colour-coded green for posts and blue for pages.
  6. Scroll to the Show Highlight in Column # box and assign your Highlight to a column (1 for the left-most column, 2 for the middle and 3 for the right-most column).
  7. Click Update at the top right of the page and view your home page.

Management

  • Log into your website and click Highlights on the left side of the screen. Here, you’ll see a list of your Highlights.
  • Three of these Highlights should be published with column positions 1, 2, 3–which correspond to the position of the column order on your Home Page. Troubleshooting: If there are two different columns that are both published in one position, this can cause display issues.
