Meta fields

Find these under the post content, within Meta - post field group

Byline Options

• You can add a Subtitle to the post. It will appear as an H2 on the post, directly below the title (or H1).
• You can add an Author Override if needed. If you do not credit an author under Author Override, your post's byline will credit the selected author in the upper right-hand side of the editor.
• You can credit a photographer(s) under Photography Credit.

Featured Image Options

• You can add a Featured Image. This image is pulled with the article title to display on any pages that list news articles (such as the Newsroom landing page).
  • While the featured image can be added in the right side menu, the featured image options are found in the meta - post field group.
    • Options include:
      • Hide featured image - Yes or No (if checked, the next two fields will be hidden)
      • Title and Featured image layout - 3 options: Default, 50-50 split, or Full-width image
      • Image caption - field will only appear if featured image is not hidden and default layout is selected
• Use Case 1: For some posts, the featured image is the same as the post's main image. In this case, do not check Hide Featured Image. 
  • You can add a caption to a featured image when Hide Featured Image is unchecked. You should see a Featured Image Caption field beneath Hide Featured Image. Enter the caption, save your edits, and you should see the image with its caption displayed on the post/article. 
• Use Case 2: For some posts, the featured image is different from the post's main image. In this case, check Hide Featured Image and add the post's main image with an Image block.
• Use Case 3: For some posts, there is a featured image to display on the card that pulls the post, but the post itself does not have an image. In this case, check Hide Featured Image.

SEO

• You can edit SEO information if desired (or if that is the standard set for the newsroom)
  • Below your post content in the editor, you can edit SEO details in the Yoast SEO Premium section
  • 
  • You can remove the pink "Title" block and replace with a shortened title.
  • You can change the URL by editing the Slug – it is best to do this before publishing the post so we don't end up with a broken link for a previously published post.
    • Each post's slug must be unique, so be sure the slugs you choose are long enough that it won't result in duplicates.
  • You can add a meta description if desired.
  • There are two color bars that indicate whether the length of your SEO title and meta description are good, okay, or too long. Avoid the red bar indicating your content is too long here.

Related posts

• You can select which articles display under related content at the bottom of the blog post
  • .
  If you don't select them, they will be the three most recent posts from your blog with the same category.
  • Under "Meta" below your main post content, you will find "Related Posts"
  • You can search for the title of the related post on the left side or you can narrow down to a certain tag or category by clicking on "Select taxonomy"
