Development Link & Training
Good afternoon Yvonne,
We have reached the point in development at which we share a link to the development site with you.
Training Sessions
The first training session typically takes ~2 hours and is done remotely via a screen share program. We will send over the meeting link and phone number in a later email.
During the training sessions, we go over:
- How to edit the homepage content
- How to edit the footer
- How to edit the menu
- How to create/edit inner pages
- How to create/edit posts
- How to create/edit image galleries
- How to create/edit online forms
Since this can be a lot, we break the training down into two sessions:
Session 1: Editing the site basics
Session 2: Editing the additional site features & answering follow-up questions
This is completely up to your learning pace and how much you feel comfortable covering at once.
Development Site Link
Something to keep in mind is that the site is not quite completed yet, with the largest thing being mobile responsiveness. That said, it is best to look at the development site on a desktop computer, rather than a laptop or smaller screen. Mobile development/responsiveness is something that the developer completes after the training so that he can update any changes along with the original development!
Other than that, if you see anything that alarms you (design or functionality), please let me know and we can address your concerns.
Development Site URL: https://stjpii.diocesanweb.org/
Please let us know what dates and times work best for the training or if you have any other questions,

I forgot the Youth Group calendar link. I’ll look it up tomorrow!
Yvonne Riggs
Cody, I wanted a one-click drop down menu with everything on it. Also I do want the icon for Donating Online to be like the one we had. I did notice on Our Parish that it didn’t have parish council, finance and homilies in the menu. Homilies are now live-streamed so should it have the capabilities for a video. The menu fades into the background on the homepage. I do love the how the staff page looks. I want to be able to add pictures of the Finance Committee folks on their page too.
Cody Armock
Hello Yvonne,
I am talking with Veronica about the menu and the donate button. I have added the items to the Our Parish menu section and we are still working on the homilies archive. The way that the finance committee page is laid out, you can add pictures with just a couple clicks. There were no pictures on the current site, so I did not bring those pictures over.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Please replace the picture of the priest on the front with a picture of Fr. Peter.
Yvonne Riggs
Please use one of these pictures to replace the one of the former priest on the home page.

Hello Yvonne,
I have switched the image on the homepage!

Did you talk to Veronica about enabling a video on the homepage of website?
Yvonne Riggs
How are we doing this training this morning?
Cody Armock
Good Morning Yvonne,
I didn't see a reply from you about today being good, so 9 am won't work for me today, sorry about that. Would tomorrow, Wednesday the 16th, at 9 am still work? If it does, I will send over the Zoom info.
We can enable a video option on the homepage. You just have to put the video in the same google drive folder and let me know when that is done and we will add it to the website.
Thank you and sorry for the confusion!

Hello Yvonne,
I have sent over the user account and the training recording (might take some time to populate that folder). I wanted to start thinking about the second training. We like to have them at least a week apart, so that it gives you time to practice editing the site and come to the second training with any questions. So let me know your availability for next week and I will do my best to work something out.
Thank you,

Why can’t I find the featured image?? For my yard sale post? And I cannot find the film option for watching the training, ugh...
Cody Armock
Hello Yvonne,
Here is the link to the Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B8UA0gEBRyWK0uh873BzIXu4kFZm1rOq?usp=sharing
The video is "First_Zoom_0.mp4" one.
As for the featured image, it will be in the media library. You can go to edit the Parish Yard Sale and to the Featured Image accordion on the right side and either remove it and select the new one or replace the image and select it from the media library. You may have to switch the tab from "Upload Files" to "Media Library" in the top of the window that will pop up.
Thank you!

And I was able correctly post my church yard sale sign. Have a good weekend!
Yvonne Riggs
Hey Cody, Is it possible to move the news to the middle of the page instead of the bottom?
Cody Armock
Hello Yvonne,
Do you mean moving below the featured buttons and above the Mass Section on the homepage?

Cody,
Instead of reordering everything we could to add mass times in the parish drop down menu in case folks don’t scroll to the middle of the page too. I could be overthinking it…
I want to wait until next week to train. Tuesday thru Thursday is fine with me, early is best.
When I click on Home there is a gray screen. I know we talked about that. Have you changed it?
Please change Sr. Ruth Ann’s email to haunzsra@gmail.com<mailto:haunzsra@gmail.com> it’s under the Francis Center.
When can we launch the new site?

Hello Yvonne,
I have removed the extra homepage which was the issue. I have also added Mass Times to the menu.
I could not find the page that you wanted me to change Sr. Ruth Ann's email. Could you link the page?
The launch of the site will be, the earliest, usually 2 weeks after the second training.
I can do Thursday between 10 AM Est or After. Just let me know what time would work best for you and I will schedule for that.
Thank you,

Silly Question of the day. Should I be updating the new website or making sure the old one is updated? For Instance today I put on minutes from the parish council on the old one. Should I put it on the new one as well?
Cody Armock
Hello Yvonne,
Putting the new content on both sites is probably the best idea, that way when the new website is ready for launch, everything that needs to be on there will be. It also serves as a good way to practice.
Thank you,

I have a few things that aren’t right on my Outreach page. https://stjpii.diocesanweb.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=2475&action=edit
I’m not able to change it. Like different font sizes and Rock Steady Boxing is in blue. Seems like the issues are all from Rock Steady Boxing and Pastoral care. I deleted it and try to redo it but to no avail.

Hello Yvonne,
Turns out the Rock Steady Boxing was a heading and not a paragraph like the others, so that will use different stylings on the frontend. I changed them all to be the same paragraph and size, so they should look like the same now.
Thank you,
