TUTORIAL - BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH VARIOUS FUNCTIONS ON THE ITFA WEBSITE

After giving it some thought, it was decided that we shall now be adding a new dimension to our monthly Newsletter. A page will be dedicated to helping our members familiarise themselves with the ITFA website and learn how it can be used more extensively. This page will take the form of a tutorial session which will definitely be beneficial and hopefully, our Main Delegates can gain more confidence with the website and its functionalities. Each month we will be tackling a different area.

How would you go about creating a new post?

One must hover on the 'Posts' menu item from the dashboard page and select the 'Add New' menu item.



You are then taken to the following page:


Fill in the required fields, by including the post title and post text in their respective fields.

When one is creating a new post, you must also choose a category from the right hand side of the page as shown below. This will automatically assign the created post to the chosen category such as Events, Event News etc.


If one also wishes to add an image to the post, you must click on the 'Set featured image' link at the bottom right of the post page.


You can then either choose an image from the media library, which are already uploaded images, or you may select to upload a new image.


In order to select an image from the media library, just click once on the image and then click on 'Set Featured Image'.


In order to upload a new image select the 'Upload Files' tab on the top left of the page and then click 'Select Files' as seen below.


Select the image to be uploaded and click on 'Choose'. The image will then start uploading automatically. Once the image is uploaded, click on 'Set Featured Image' at the bottom right of the page.

After all the required details have been entered, just select the 'Submit for Review' button on the right hand side of the page.

And there you have it...its done...we have to admit, its really not that difficult. However, if you do encounter any difficulties when trying to create a new post on the ITFA website, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us by sending an email on info@itfa.org.
