The website comes with two Article post types:



  1. Blog Article
  2. Community/Member Article


They are almost the same post types but with a few differences, specifically for the Blog post type.


Blog Article

How to Add a Blog Post

The default Permalink URL is: /blog


This post type is intended to have curated articles only from the Site Administrator or Admin - Blog Contributor and not regular members from the directory.

This is because the Blog Articles have the:


  • "Featured on Homepage?" option - Featured Blog Article Slider



    This add-on is used by the website admin to decide and keep track of which Blog articles to feature on the homepage slider since the slider can display up to 5 posts and no more.

    If this setting is enabled for all members and profiles, there isn't an easy way to control which posts display.

  • Additional fields to add Custom SEO Data



    These fields are only available to the admin for two reasons:
