1. Creating a banner (alert message) can be done via the WordPress Admin section of your website. Begin by logging into your store's WordPress site.

2. In the left navigation, locate and select “Site Banners.”

3. Select an existing banner to edit by clicking on the title in blue, as shown here: Deliveries May Be Delayed Due To Weather Conditions.

6. Again, be sure to select “Update" to save your changes.

1. Once you have created a banner, you will then need to determine on which site(s) the alert will show. Banners appear on your homepage with the default options to have them show when a shopper does not have a store selected or when any store is selected. You can also assign the banners to appear on the homepage only when an individual store location or a group of certain stores are selected by creating “Store Groups.”

2. At the bottom of each individual banner page (the editing page where you have entered in the title and copy) are the Groups that you can associate your banner to.

 

3. Check the boxes on the Group(s) you want to display the banner for. You can create new groups for certain stores in addition to “No Store Selected” or "Any Store Selected.”

Here are the steps to follow to create a new Group and then assign one or more stores to the Group. You will then need to associate each banner to a group(s) as mentioned in Section 2.

1. Sign into your store’s WordPress site.

2. On the left nav, locate and select “Toolset” then “Post Fields."

3. Navigate through the pages and find the listing for “Store Information.” Select “Edit.” 

4. Expand the “Store Group” drop-down.

5. Look for the “Checkboxes” section. 

6. This will open up a new “Checkbox title” section for you to complete. You will only complete the “Title” and “Value to Store“ fields.

As in the example below, the new group is titled “New York” and the "Value to Store" is “3.” The “Value to Store” field defaults to 1. It is recommended you increase each new group by an increment of 1. So, if the last group you added had a value of 2 like the sample, the new value here is 3. Each group should have a unique number, so by increasing by 1, you are sure to keep to that rule. If you need to recall the last value assigned, click on the expanding arrow of the group listed directly above your new group and see the "Title" and "Value to Store" assigned to that group.

7. Click on the blue “Save Field Group” button at the bottom of the page.

8. This will save the new group and you can now associate stores to this group.

1. Locate and select the “Stores” menu in the left navigation.  

2. Scroll through the pages and locate the store you wish to associate to your new group and click to "Edit." In the example, “Bay Ridge” will associate to the New York group we just created.

3. In the middle of the page, find the “Store Information” section. Click the checkbox(es) of the group(s) this store should be associated with in relation to the image sliders.

4. Be sure to click on the blue “Update” link to the right of the page after assigning a store to a group. Otherwise your changes changes will not be saved. 

5. Continue to assign each store to their relative group. Once set, you can use the “Site Banners” menu to view existing or create new banners and assign them to groups.
