Possible problem with Posts
Tip 11 - A few clubs are having problems with posts. I recommend that you create a text module with the post information and if that works, trash the blog module which is having problems. You can go to your post(s) copy the contents and then past them into a text module.
Other possible fixes include updating your last post and/or updating the blog module. Sometimes duplicating (cloning) the blog module and if that works, trash the older blog module.
Divider module custom color
Tip 10 To create a custom color divider…..
Step 1 - In a separate paint program, load the image with the color or pattern you want to "capture/clone", or pick the color/shade you want
Step 2 - Use the paint program to identify the exact color you want (most paint type programs have an "eye dropper" option to identify/clone a color
Step 3 - create new image, change to the color you identified RGB and fill the image with the color
Step 4 - Save the image
Step 5 - Load the image into your website's Media/Library area
Step 6 - Go to the page that you want the divider, add a new row, then add the divider module
Step 6 - In the divider module, expand the "background" option
Step 7 - the 3rd icon is add an image, (from you media/library, click on the color image that you loaded)
Step 8 - in the Admin label name your module
Step 9 - Update the web page
(you can adjust the width and height of the divider if you want)
MAC computer issue
tip 9 If you use a MAC computer and are having trouble logging into you site, use the Firefox browser. You can use Chrome also. Some users have had trouble with the Safari browser. If you don't have Firefox you'll have to download it, at no cost.
Photos alternate titles
tip 8 Photos in your media library should have an alternate text. You can open a photo in your media library where you will see a line for alternative text. This is an important ADA complaint feature. People with vision problems sometimes you mechanical optical readers. Since they cannot "see" the photo, the reader will show or say a description of the photo.
Header email and telephone number
Tip 7 Some clubs have their contact telephone number and/or email address on the header top line of their website. If you want your club's information on the header, let us know. We can add it for you. Always make sure that it is first approved by your club president.
Photo copyrights
Tip 6 Respect copyrights. You cannot use a photo or cartoon you see on the internet without the owner's permissions. There are sites with copyright free (or subscription fees) that you can use.
Missing Text update
Tip 5 If you are still not seeing text in your text module, sometime by opening it, closing it and then immediately opening it again will cause the text to show.
Missing text in module
Tip4 There have been some reports of people not seeing the contents of a text module, but the module shows the text on the website. The IT department is aware of the problem and researching solutions. In the meantime, I suggest that you highlight and copy the text from the website, then open a new text module and paste in the text. Preview the page and if both texts appear. If they both appear then delete the problem module and keep new module.
The eyeball
Tip 3 The eyeball When you use a module to the left of the "Save and Exit" you will see an icon that looks like an eyeball. If you click it (takes a little time) you will see how your page looks on a computer screen, a tablet, and a cell phone. This can be handy specially to see how a photo will look.
Also, always remember to name you module. At the bottom where is says "Admin label" leave the type of module but add a short description. By doing this you can easily find the module you need from among many on a page.
Login help and what not to click

Tip 2 If you are having trouble logging into your sign from the regular log in, try going to your site's, URL (address) add to your URL yourclub.scwclubs.com/wp-admin This will take you to the login.
Be careful, because we are using a "package" from WordPress and DIVI there are a lot of things offered to click on, BUT DON'T. Updating and adding features are done ONLY by the Rec Center website maintenance staff. If by accident you click on something you don't think is right, let the Rec center know (submit a ticket). One "by accident update" click can change the entire look when you add or edit a page. If this happens (and you aren't the first do to this), it is an easy fix for the Rec PostMeetings and Single Space text

Did you know… that hitting the enter and shift key will allow you to single space.
POST YOUR GENERAL MEETINGS and other important events like Board meetings. By having these dates online, everyone is officially notified well in advance of the meeting. Encourage the club members to regularly check the club's website. All club Presidents signed for their clubs next year schedule including meeting dates during the preceding September month. Ask your President to the future dates.
