Adding & Managing Entries

Adding new entries is pretty simple and can be done two ways: First, under the “Funerals” menu in the left sidebar of the admin area click on the “Add Entry” sub menu item OR secondly, once in the FTPro plugin admin area, click on the “Add New Entry” button in the top header bar of the plugin.

Once, in the edit/entry window there are a couple pointers to keep in mind:

• New entries by default start out in a DRAFT status.
• You will at Minimum be required to enter the deceased’s name and date of death in order to save the entry and to be able to access it. This assigns an ID number to the entry in the background.
• You must do an initial save on the entry first before you can add any attachments such as Featured Image or Service Program.
• There is a “Save All Tabs” button. This will save the changes on all the tabs. You may edit data on multiple tabs before saving…just remember to save when done editing.
• You must also switch the status from “Draft” to “Published” and save the entry in order for it to appear on the front end.

Profile – On this tab you may enter personal information about the deceased such as First Name, Middle Name/Initial, Last Name, Birth Place, Resided In, Date Born, and Date of Death.

Featured Image – On this tab you can upload a featured image to be displayed on the front end for this entry. Please note that you must save your entry first then come back to upload a profile picture.

Viewing – Here you can selected the viewing location from a list of previously defined funeral locations as well as some other specifics such as time & date as well as type of viewing.

Services – Here you can selected the service location from a list of previously defined service locations as well as some other specifics such as time & date as well as type of service and if there is to be a wake time. Additionally, you may upload a service program once you have initially saved the entry.

Cemetery – Here you can selected the cemetery location from a list of previously defined cemetery locations as well as the time & date. This can be done manually by entering the date and time, or you can check the box “Immediately following the service” and it will indicated that on the fronted based on the date selected for the service.
