Our Team's Goal
To help you simplify and optimize content on your Club's websiteWhat is a Club Content Manager?
A Club Content Manager is someone who oversees the content presented on their club’s website. They are responsible for creating, editing, posting, updating, and occasionally cleaning up outdated content. The main responsibility of the content manager is to keep the information displayed on the website fresh, informative, and appealing. Their ‘content strategy’ is to create, write and manage content so as to be a voice for your Club. It takes creativity, leadership skills and of course, writing ability, to produce and publish good content.

Tips, tricks and other things from our Volunteer Trainer Gene Mitofsky!
Updating Menus
Tip 14 If you have updated your menus and it works fine on every page except the HOME page then go to the HOME page and click UPDATE. You do not have to change anything on the HOME page, just UPDATE. Then when you view the HOME page, refresh the page and the updated MENU should appear.
If things don’t look right, clear your cache
Tip 13 If you have made an update or added something new and it looks fine when you preview it but doesn’t look right when you log off, here is a possibly solution. Clear your browser cache (stored memory on some websites). Check to see if your updates look ok on a different computer or with a different browser. If it looks ok on a different source, then in your browser (Chrome) pull down the options under the 3 dots in the upper right corner. Go to “more tools” and then select clear browsing data. You can pick which data to clear, I usually pick the first 4 and do not clear passwords. After clearing the cache see if your website is looking better.

Latest Divi Builder and NextGen Gallery
Divi Update – Target Completion July 1, 2021
The Rec Centers are currently in the process of updating all SCWClubs.com websites to “The Latest Divi Builder Experience” by July 1, 2021. Club Presidents and all Content Managers for a website will be notified when your club has been migrated.
We find this new version very close to the current Divi Builder so this should be an easy transition for you, our Club Content Managers.
NextGen Gallery – Do Not Use
As published here last July 14, 2020, all new photo galleries should now be done with the Divi “Gallery” Module and not the NextGen Gallery plugin. You may also use the Divi “Image” Module for individual photos when appropriate.
The Rec Centers will be removing the NextGen plug-in later this year so if you wish to retain any of these pictures, please download them as soon as possible or you will loose them when the plug-in has been removed.
We have not yet finalized a date for removal of the plug-in which will be announced in the near future.
Limits to Server Space
With over 100 SCWClubs.com websites uploading pictures and documents to the SCWClubs.com websites the Rec Centers will soon be limiting the amount of photos and documents that clubs can retain on their individual websites. The specifics will be announced later this year.
If a club determines that the limits of the Rec Center hosted websites do not meet their needs they are encouraged to get an External Website that we will link to from the SCWClubs.com website.
