How do I upload photos to a BSD template website?

There are two main ways to upload photos when you are logged in to the site. The first is through the Media section.

  1. In the menu bar, hover over Content and then click on Media in the drop-down.
  2. Click the Add media button in the top left, then click on Image. This brings you to a page where you can choose an image file to upload from your computer and give it a name, an optional caption, and an optional credit.
  3. Click Save to finish uploading the image. 

You can also upload photos directly while editing a page.

  1. Find any image component that does not yet have an image, then click on the white button that says Select media. Clicking on this button will bring up the Media Entity Browser, which by default shows you all the images that have already been uploaded to your site.
  2. At the top, click Upload to be brought to the file upload section.
  3. Drag-and-drop an image file from your computer into the box, or click on Select files to browse files on your computer.
  4. Hit the blue Select media button to finish uploading the image.

The image you uploaded will now be available to use in any component of your site that can house an image.

 

How do I change a photo on a BSD template website?

If you would like to change a photo on a page, edit that page and find the component where the photo is housed.

  1. Click on the Remove button to get rid of the photo.
  2. Click on Select media to bring up the Media Entity Browser.
  3. Navigate through the uploaded images to find the one that you want (if you know the name of the image, you can also search for it in the bar at the top).
  4. Once you find the right image, click on it so that a green checkmark appears on it.
  5. Click the blue Select media button in the lower left.

Your chosen image will now be set on the component.

Uploading a document is similar to the first process for uploading photos as described above.

  1. In the menu bar, hover over Content and then click on Media in the drop-down.
  2. Click the Add media button in the top left, then click on Document. This brings you to a page where you can choose a file to upload from your computer and give it a name.
  3. Click Save when you are finished.

Now, you can link any page body text to the document you have uploaded.

  1. While you are editing a page, highlight the body text that you want to link and click on the Link button.
  2. Type in the name of the document, and it should appear in a drop-down list.

The document will now be accessible by clicking on the linked text.
