Widgets provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control to a user. They appear on the righthand-side of the homepage and can be used to provide additional information concerning the site.<\/p>\n

There are two different widgets that can be added to a website: the CAS Highlight Widget<\/em> and the CAS Event Widget<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1. Widgets<\/em> can be found under the Appearance<\/em> section in the backend menu.<\/p>\n

3. After adding a widget, WordPress will ask for the widget’s title which will be displayed above it on the frontend. Enter the desired title\u00a0and remember to Save<\/em>\u00a0before exiting the page.<\/p>\n

Deleting Widgets<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Removing\u00a0widgets is as simple as adding them. Just click on the desired widget and select the underlined Delete<\/em> text.<\/p>\n

Events<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

The\u00a0CAS Event Widget\u00a0<\/em>will only work if there are events for it to display. The widget can pull events from either a Google Calendar that is linked to the website or the Events<\/em> area (if it has been activated).<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to learn how to integrate Google Calendars.<\/p>\n

Contact Sarah Bailey at scb89@case.edu to activate the Events<\/em> area.<\/p>\n

If the widget can not find any events to pull from, it will display an error message in its place on the frontend.<\/p>\n

Highlights<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Like the CAS Event Widget<\/em>, the CAS Highlight Widget<\/em> will work only if it can find highlights to display.<\/p>\n

To add highlights, go to the Highlights section in the backend.<\/p>\n
