How to Post in the Wpmedia Theme

Post Formats

• Standard: regular post with a featured image.
• Video: use the Video post format, enter the video source via Oembed or Iframe in Video Settings.
• Gallery: use the Gutenberg Gallery block or insert a gallery in the Classic Editor.

Here is an example of post format settings:

Standard Posting

Standard posting is used for regular articles (without special video/gallery formats).

Steps:

1. Go to Posts → Add New.
2. Fill in:
   • Title (article title).
   • Content (article body).
   • Category, Topic, and Tags if used.
3. Ensure Post Format remains Standard (default).
4. Choose a Featured Image:
   • Click Set featured image.
   • Select or upload the image to use as the main thumbnail.
   • Featured image tutorial.
5. Click Publish to publish the article.

Video Posting

Video posts use Post Format: Video and the Video Settings meta box.

Steps:

1. Go to Posts → Add New.
2. Enter title, content, category, topic, and tags as usual.
3. Change Post Format to Video.
4. Find the Video Settings meta box (usually below the editor):
   • It consists of 2 tabs:
     • Oembed
     • Iframe
5. If using Oembed:
   • Enter the video URL from a WordPress‑supported platform, for example:
     • YouTube
     • Dailymotion
   • WordPress will embed it automatically.
   • See the list of oEmbed services:
     https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
6. If using Iframe:
   • Enter the <iframe> code provided by the video platform.
7. Choose a Featured Image for the thumbnail.
   • Featured image tutorial.
8. Click Publish.

Here is an example of video settings:

Gallery Posting

Gallery posts let you display multiple images in a single post with a gallery layout.

Steps:

1. Go to Posts → Add New.
2. Enter title, content, category, topic, and tags as usual.
3. Change Post Format to Gallery.
4. Upload the images you want to display:
   • Click Add Media.
   • Upload all images you want to include in the post.
   • No need to press Insert into post for each image if the theme automatically displays them as a gallery.
5. Choose one image as the Featured Image.
6. Click Publish.

The Wpmedia theme will display the images as a gallery according to the configured layout.

Split Post (Divide an Article into Multiple Pages)

If your article is very long, you can split it into several pages.

How to:

1. Open the editor in Text (HTML) mode or use a block that supports it.
2. Between the paragraphs you want to split, insert the tag:

<!--nextpage-->

3. Repeat in multiple sections if you want more than two pages.

WordPress will display pagination (pages 1, 2, 3, ...) at the bottom of the article.

Focus News (Special Layout)

The Wpmedia theme provides a Focus News feature to highlight specific news with a different layout on index and archive pages.

Settings are usually available in the Theme Settings meta box on the right or below the editor:

• Check the Focus News option (or similar name).

After saving, posts with Focus News enabled will appear differently on index/archive pages, e.g., larger or highlighted.
