Editing A Chapter Website
Quick note before diving in:
Two names you’ll see going forward are WordPress and Gutenberg.
All you need to know is that the chapter websites are built using WordPress, a content management system, which allows those with no coding experience to editing websites, and post new content (like Facebook).
And, Gutenberg is the new text editor/page-builder that WordPress uses.
Logging In
There are 3 ways to access the login area of your chapter website:
1. Through the direct link http://chapternumber.mophaz.org/wp-admin. (e.g. http://2560.mophaz.org/wp-admin)
Chapter 442: http://442.mophaz.org/wp-admin
Chapter 472: http://472.mophaz.org/wp-admin
Chapter 572: http://572.mophaz.org/wp-admin
Chapter 691: http://691.mophaz.org/wp-admin

Editing the Department Website
Brick Locator Tool
Adding an entry:
Step 1: Download the zip folder containing the plaza diagram here. (This will add a visual component to the tool, which will be added later on.)
Step 2: Locate the Participants Database plugin (pictured below).
Step 3: Click Add Participant.
Step 4: Fill in the brick information. This will include a first name, last name, section, and location.
For organizations, such MOPH, DAV, etc. use the chapter number for the first name, and MOPH (if Military Order of the Purple Heart) as the last name. Look up the name on the tool itself for a reference (http://mophaz.org/brick-locator).
The sections are either A, B, or C.
The locations are either upper, middle, or lower.
Step 5: Add the corresponding image diagram that you downloaded earlier, by clicking the choose file button.
Then, select the image to upload, and click the open button.
Step 6: Click the submit button. (You might need to scroll down to see this button.)
Step 7: Go to the brick locator tool, search the name you just entered, and double-check all the information is correct.
