Page Content Sections - News Section

Use the News Section when you want to show a full list of approved news items on a page.

What this section is for

This section is designed for a main news or news archive page.

Helpful details:

• It pulls in approved news items automatically.
• It does not have a category selector.
• On default pages, the section uses the main page content area.
• On landing pages, the content is centered inside a narrower container.

Fields in the News Section

Headline

Use Headline if you want a visible title above the news list.

Headline Level

Use Headline Level to choose the heading level for the section title.

Helpful detail:

• If you do not choose one, the section defaults to H2.

Intro Content

Use Intro Content to add instructions or context above the news list.

This is a good place for:

• a short introduction to the page
• context about the types of updates members will find here
• guidance about checking back for new announcements

Active

Use Active to control whether this section is included when the page is rendered.

Helpful detail:

• If Active is turned off, the section stays in the page editor but does not appear on the website.

Important behavior to know

• This section does not have a Section Title field.
• This section does not have category filtering.
• Only approved news items are included here.
• News is sorted with pinned items first, then by Published Date with newer dates first.
• Each item links to its full news page.
• Each item shows the headline, published date, optional teaser image, and teaser blurb.
• This section currently shows all matching news items on one page. Pagination code exists in the template, but it is not active in the current layout.
• The section uses active and activation-date rules, but it does not separately hide future-dated published items on its own.
• If there are no matching news items, the page shows a simple message saying there are no news items right now.

How to add a News Section to a page

1. Open the page you want to edit.
2. Go to the Page Content area.
3. Click Add new section.
4. Choose News Page.
5. Add a Headline if you want one.
6. Set Headline Level if needed.
7. Add Intro Content if you want text above the news list.
8. Make sure Active is turned on.
9. Save the page.
10. Review the page on the website.

Practical setup tips

• Use teaser images and teaser blurbs so the list is easier to scan.
• Pin only the most important items so the top of the page stays useful.
• If an item is not ready to appear, review its approval and active settings.
• If you only want a smaller preview block, use a News Teasers (3) Section instead.
• Keep the intro brief so visitors reach the latest updates quickly.

If the section is not behaving as expected

Check these items first:

• the page was saved after your edits
• the section's Active toggle is turned on
• the news item is approved
• the news item is active and within its activation and deactivation dates
• you are not expecting categories to filter this section
• you remember that pagination is not currently active for this section
