Part 1: Create a Newsletter

  1. Add Newsletter
    From the lefthand menu, hover over Newsletters, then select Add Newsletter.
  1. Add Newsletter Title (Date)
    Enter the date of the newsletter for the title. The format should be: June 12, 2024.
    The link (permalink) for the newsletter will be created automatically based on the title/date you enter. In this example, the link will be https://www.nycwff.org/june-12-2024.
  1. Setup & Testing
    See “Part 3: How to Test the Newsletter from WordPress” when you are done building the newsletter and ready to test.
  1. Add Newsletter Information
    Add the Subject of Email and Preview Text. You don’t need to enter anything in the External URL field.
  1. Section Visibility
    Stories with checkmarks will be displayed in the newsletter. Stories without checkmarks will not be displayed.

    Select eight (8) talent who should appear in the MEET THE TALENT section of the newsletter.
    1. Save Draft or Publish
      You can either save a draft (unpublished) or publish the newsletter.

Draft: At this point, we recommend you save the newsletter as a draft until you are done building the entire newsletter. If you save a draft, the newsletter link will not be “live”. You can use the “Enable public preview” option to share the newsletter internally with your team. To create a public preview link, check the “Enable public preview” checkbox. Then copy the URL provided.

Publish: If you publish the newsletter, the URL will be “live” and accessible by the public.
