Now click PublishВ in the right WordPress menu. Note: As your posts expire (as set on Date to remove from website in your post) they will no longer be displayed on your widget unless you set them to be вЂњstickyвЂќ. Widget Title is the publically displayed title for your widget and the Pick announcements to override default display of most recent posting first lets you create вЂњstickyвЂќ announcements that pin to the top of your widget, overriding all date settings. To create a new Announcement widget, navigate here: WordPress sidebar > Widgets > Add New > AnnouncementsВ (from the dropdown).В When creating a new widget, add your internal name for the widget that will appear in the content builder in your pages. Now that you have at least one post for your Announcements widget to pull in you can now add the widget to a page. Now, click Publish on the left side of the post to publish or schedule your announcement. If you would like your announcement to link to an Internal PageВ (another page on your own site) or External PageВ (a page on another site) then choose that option from the dropdown and add your desired link. If youвЂ™d like for the event to link to a Detail Page then add your desired text under the Description field. Your announcements can link to a Detail Page, an Internal Page or External Page.

Next, under Date to remove from website you will schedule when the announcement should be removed from your website. Then under Date to publish to website choose the date on the date picker that youвЂ™d like to schedule the announcement to begin showing on your website. Create the posts by navigating here: WordPress sidebar > AnnouncementsВ and then click the Add New AnnouncementВ button.Д«egin by adding the title of your post that will be displayed on the widget. To begin building your Announcements widget youвЂ™ll need to create posts to populate the widget. If you have announcements that are not open to the general public or only for a specific audience, then it makes sense to use this widget instead of the more robust University Events Feed widget.ДЄnnouncements are different from Department Events because Announcements donвЂ™t display a date and you can make them вЂњstickyвЂќ. The Announcements widgetвЂ™s purpose is to publish announcements that shouldnвЂ™t be on, our University Calendar.
