Creating & categorising content on the CMS
Last updated
We use the Headless Ghost CMS. You must have a standalone login to use the CMS site, which you will need to request.
You can use the Options pane in the CMS content editor to manage how content is shared to social networks and other websites.
The CMS automatically generates social media cards from the title, excerpt and header image provided, and you can edit them centrally using these three options.
Social networks, and other websites, generally cache the cards quite heavily, but often provide a tool to purge the cache for your website. You can reset the card for major sites here:
As we are using Ghost headlessly, some functions are still present in the CMS UI that do not work, e.g. post previews. This is intentional on our part.
Posts must be placed in one of the category tags available on the CMS.
If you wish to hide the author of an article, you can use the anonymous user IWGB Staff.
A post must be featured and have a header image in order to take the main box on the homepage.
Posts made before around February 2019 are not available on the CMS. You can view and delete (but not edit) content on the archive tool.
If you need to edit a piece of archived content, create a backdated post in the CMS and request the archive link to be redirected.
To show in the navigation, pages must be created under one of the existing page categories, category:about and category:resources, and be tagged in a subcategory.
All pages tagged category:campaign take their own place in the navigation. Featured campaigns appear on the homepage.
You can temporarily hide a campaign from the public site by unpublishing it.
Special pages must have the appropriate slug and tag.
