Cards
Overview
Cards are the items the Cards block lists. Each one has a title, an image, a Description, optional editor content, an optional Link, and Categories. Create them under Cards → Add New Card.
The admin menu name comes from Card Name (Plural) under Cards → Settings (default Cards).
Cards use the classic editor. Revisions are on.
Fields
- Title — the card's title; used in the listing unless you fill in Display Title
- Display Title — optional listing name, in the Details box under the editor
- Link — optional destination, in the Details box: the address, optional link text (it becomes the button label on the block) and Open in a new tab
- Image — featured image, shown in the main column (not the sidebar)
- Description — the short summary (the excerpt, renamed for cards). Used when the block Content is Description
- Editor — longer copy. Used when the block Content is Content
- Categories — used by Filter, Restrict Cards, and Stratified
Editor basics
- Editor: classic (the block editor is off)
- No listing page: put a Cards block on a page
- Card pages: off unless Card Pages is on under Cards → Settings. That setting gives each card its own page and leaves cards out of site search
- Address: Slug under Cards → Settings (default
cards)
The sidebar has Page Attributes (parent and order), but the Cards block always lists published cards A–Z by title.
Tips
- Only use the editor when the block's Content is set to Content. Otherwise Description is what shows.
- Use Display Title when the admin title is longer than the name on the card.
