Block editor

The content area for Articles posts uses the new block editor from WordPress. All the blocks that are available on Custom Post Types are available on Articles along with some additional blocks. See examples and learn more about each block below:

Tags

On the right side of the page, add one or more Tags to the article. Tags are shared across multiple publications and used for tagging content with keywords, names, places, etc.

Featured Image

On the right side of the page, add a Featured Image to the article. This image will show as the thumbnail image for the Article on listing pages and related content sections.

Authors

You can create Author profiles and assign Authors to articles. Learn more about Authors.

Categories

On the right side of the page, add Categories to the article.

Topics

On the right side of the page, add one or more Topics to the article. Topics are related to Collections. For example, if you have a Collection that you want the article to be associated with, you would add the Topic of that Collection here.

Primary Term

On the right side of the page under “Primary Term,” select a primary term for the article that will show as the term for the article on listing pages and related content sections.

Publication

On the right side of the page, select which Publication an article belongs to.

Masthead

If the article includes a Leadin block, you can customize the Masthead to have the branding to overlay the image. You can then make adjustments to the contrast, add a fill or gradient to the masthead, and adjust its opacity.

Editorial Titles

Toward the bottom of the page, the Editorial Title allows you to manage multiple titles on one Article when used in conjunction with the Leadin block. Learn more about Editorial Titles.
