Church Info

The Church Info contains a lot of information that should not need to be changed often.

Address

 

This is required. The link text should be the address for your organization and the URL should go to the Google Maps share link and the box to Open in a new tab should be checked. Most likely, this will have been done already. This will be added on the left side of the footer.

Iframe

This will most likely be done already for you, but it is just the link for the Embed a Map on Google Maps. This is used for the Contact Us Template’s Map

Phone

Enter your organization’s phone number. Added under the Address in the Footer.

Header Settings

Images

Header Logo

This is the logo that is used in the left-side of the header bar (the one with the menu) when you first land on a page or scroll to the very top of a page.

Favicon

This is subject to the site’s editing history which will affect the efficacy of this field. This field is used to change the favicon image which is shown next to the page title in the browser tab and also shown when someone bookmarks a site page. If this field does not change the favicon in the browser tab, please contact Diocesan to change it.

Default Featured Image

The default featured image is used on any page that does not have a featured image set for it. It is also used as the header image for Post Archives (All News) and an individual post. Ideally, this would be a high-resolution aesthetic image of the organization or possibly landscape scene near your location.
