Anyone managing the website will first need to give themselves a login.

Place /admin at the end of your URL. If your website is not yet live, it will look like the demo URL, e.g. uhm.flightdec.com/admin or if the website is already live, it will be your ongoing URL, e.g. uhm.org.nz/admin

Click open ‘Become A Member’ and complete the form.

Wait for an email asking you to verify yourself (at that email address). It is very important for you to follow the email’s instructions carefully and to complete all the steps from the email.

Once the verification has happened, the login can be tested by, again, putting /admin at the end of the URL.

Access for managers

A login only gives a person basic access to the website. People managing website pages require full permissions. Therefore, please email peoples’ names, together with their login email address, to Fraser Carson on fraser@flightdec.com (subject ‘RMC notes’).

The permissions will generally be done within 24 hours or Fraser will reply once done.

Once going, a website manager with full permissions, can also upgrade anyone with a basic login, to full management status.

In Admin mode, enter ‘Members’ in the left menu.

Recent logins will show NEW in the list of names.

Click open any name (edit icon, right side).

Tick the following permissions, for full management.

Tick the following permissions if you wish the person to only have access to posting (for approval) and access to the Member Area.

1. Reward readers with an interesting headline and copy. Don’t just post a sentence or two but tell a story.
2. Consider using AI to help you write a story or use it to expand your ideas.
3. The Index Image is a thumbnail that can display in the website as square or landscape (see cropping example here). Use a good picture, rather than an image with words or logos, and crop to allow headspace, especially if showing people.

2. Carefully select up to 8 appropriate Categories making sure you select the obvious ones – because that assists wider exposure of the post.
