A faculty page is not a post like most of the items on the front page. It is called a Page. To create a new faculty page, you need to create a new page. A method of doing so is by going to the upper right corner and clicking the down arrow. Once the arrow has been clicked, the drop down menu will appear. Selected New Page.
Once you select New Page, it will take you to the following. It looks similar to adding a Post page but it is not the same. For Faculty members you must add the UNIX (or short email without the @williams.edu) of the faculty member in the area indicated.
After writing the faculty member’s UNIX, go to the sidebar and do the following changes.
Once you have completed the changes, your sidebar should look like the following.
It is VERY important that the bottom “Exclude Pages” is unclicked. Once you have made the changes to the sidebar, go to the area under the content box called custom fields. Here you will select Name from the drop down menu and write the Faculty’s members name in the value box. In this case, this is Nancy Bellow’s site so her name is written in the value box.
Towards the bottom of the page, there is a section called Page Author. This has to be changed to the faculty member’s name. In order to do so, you will have to select their name from the drop down menu. For example:
Now Professor Mahon has access to his site.
Once you have made those changes, click the publish button.
Congratulations! You just made a Faculty Page. If you go back to the page by clicking on the Page tab on the green menu and searching for your page, it should look like the following.
Now, if you make changes, click on the “Update Page” button and all your changes shall be saved.
