Add DJ

To add a DJ to the listing on one of the music stations, create a page. Besides the usual things you want in a page, here are some considerations to make sure a DJ pages shows up properly.

URL

URLs should only have information that probably won’t change (in this case, probably the DJ’s name but not information like what day their show is on so it’s still accurate even if their time slot changes).

You can set the URL in one of two places:

The slug field:

  • Classic editor: Down the page below the main editor in classic mode
  • Block editor: On the right side, under the gear icon and the Document tab
Editing the slug in the classic editor
Editing the slug in the block editor

The permalink field

  • Only in the classic editor
  • Only after the post has been saved as a draft or published

Parent page

The parent page gives the DJ page the proper URL (under the station/djs page) and also automatically makes sure its listed on the main DJ page.

Set the parent page to “KRNN DJs” or “KXLL DJs” under Page Attributes:

Music station navigation

Set the Secondary Navigation setting to make sure the DJ page has the navigation bar from the proper music station:

Page layout

DJ pages should have the “no sidebar” layout unless they have a specific layout that requires a different one.

Here’s what the icon looks like in the classic editor:

If you’re using the block editor, the layout is a dropdown under the G icon in the upper right:
