Posts are articles published on your community portal. Use them for news updates, community stories, project announcements, seasonal reminders, and any other content you want to share with residents.
Creating a Post
Navigate to Admin > Content > Posts and click Create Post.
Post Form Fields
- Title — A clear headline for your article
- Content — The body of your post, written using the markdown editor
- Category — Organize your post into a category (e.g., "Community News", "Board Updates")
- Featured Image — An optional image displayed at the top of the post and in listings
- Visibility — Who can see this post (see Visibility & Permissions)
- Status — Published or Draft
Using the Editor
The post editor supports markdown formatting:
- Bold and italic text
- Headings (## for sections, ### for subsections)
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Links and images
- Block quotes
Preview your post
Use the preview mode in the editor to see how your post will look to residents before publishing. This helps catch formatting issues.
Featured Images
A featured image makes your post more visually appealing in listings and on the post page itself. Upload a high-quality image that relates to your content.
Recommended specifications:
- Format: JPG or PNG
- Size: 1200x630px or similar landscape ratio
- File size: Under 1MB
Publishing Status
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Published | Visible to users based on its visibility level |
| Draft | Only visible to admins — use this to save work in progress |
You can toggle between published and draft at any time. Changing a published post to draft removes it from public view immediately.

Best Practices
- Post regularly — Even monthly updates keep residents engaged with the portal
- Use descriptive titles — "January Board Meeting Recap" is better than "Update"
- Add featured images — Posts with images get more attention in the activity feed
- Keep it concise — Residents appreciate brief, clear updates. Link to documents for detailed information.
- Categorize your posts — Use categories like "Board Updates", "Community Events", "Maintenance" so residents can filter
