How to add news to your website using Base

Capture news on your Flex website

Written by Annali

A content library is available in Base for all administrators. It can be used to capture News, area articles, and more.


To add news content, follow these easy steps

  • Log in to Base, click on the New icon in the menu, and select News.


    This will open your content module.

How to add content to the module

You will have three tabs that need to be filled in for your news: Overview, Content, and Gallery

In your Overview tab, you will need to add a title, summary, category, thumbnail, tags, and an author or source link.

Your category and Tags can be edited; find out here how to do that. Remember that you can't save your article without choosing a category.

In your Content tab, you will add the body of your article; we suggest using the Base editor to ensure that styling and formatting are reflected correctly on your website.

In your Gallery tab, you will add your relevant images.

Tips on using the editor

  • Remember to add a thumbnail, which will feature on your home page and will be linked to the article.

  • Keep the summary short, as this will show as a short snippet on your website where articles are featured.

  • You can set a future published date to schedule posts.

  • If you would like to add a video to your article, simply copy the embed code from your YouTube video

and paste it into your content here:

Once you have pasted the code into the desired place in the article, just hit save and it will show up in your article body.

Below is how an overview tab will look once filled in:

To delete content, go back into the article, select More, and press Delete Content
