How to: Legal Cases

Adding a New Legal Case

• Navigate to Legal Cases > Add New
• Close the Yoast box by clicking the down arrow in the top right of the box. Drag it to the bottom of the page so it’s out of your way. 
• Enter a Title
  • Post title may have lots of words, but edit permalink down to 5 words, no stop words (only nouns and verbs)
• Do NOT use the Divi builder on Legal Cases posts
• Make sure extra paragraphs have been removed from your text before you copy and paste into the Visual text editor.
• The Field Group is for data that is attached to the case. Fill out all fields. See this test case for data examples. 
  • NOTE: The Legal Overview page allows for one Featured Case. If the box is checked, this case will appear at the top of the page. If the Featured Case box is checked on more than one case, the view will default to the most recent Featured Case. 
  • NOTE: When adding documents: First, click the button to add a document and wait, it should load a field to add them. Turn off the helper tooltip (“Don’t show again”) about giving the link a title, just ignore that. Then after adding a sample document link name and URL from the Guardians PDF server, save the case post. THEN, go back down to the document Link section and click the icon button on the top right that has the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines). That will change the display of this section to be much more usable.
• Add an excerpt. 
• Select Case Campaign (if applicable), Case Program and State from the right sidebar. 
• Add the featured image – just one full-size image; this should be the same size as used for a blog post (see image guidelines for latest recommended size)
• Posts can be saved as Draft for other Editors or Admins to review before publishing.
