Importing a News Post from Another IUP Site

You can display a news post created by another department or office on your own site without duplicating it. Imported news automatically updates when the source post changes and can appear on both your main News index page and your main site index page.

Before You Begin

• Identify the news post you want to import.
• Note the folder path from its URL (e.g., /news-events/news/2024/10/your-headline).
• Imported items should always be moved to the top of your manual list so the newest news appears first.

Tips and Common Mistakes

• Always move the new item to the top so your most recent imported news appears first.

• Make sure you select the correct year/month folder—news posts are stored by date.

• If you don’t see the News Page Selector, confirm the Yes box is checked.

• Imported news is not duplicated—it displays the original post. If the source post changes, your imported version updates automatically.
