Master Product Post

Clone this post when adding a new product to the web site.

Things to remember:

1. Change the post title to the product name
2. Select categories. By default, this Master Product Post is uncategorized, so it shouldn’t be visible on the site. Minimally, the categories must specify the product type (e.g. T-Shirt or Tote Bags), and who the owner/artist is, e.g. T-Shirt and TKCSB Original.
3. Add a Featured Image to the appropriate product image. Product images are found in the …\Website\Designs folder. The product image should be 300 X 300 pixels, with a resolution of 72 dpi.
4. Enter an Excerpt description
5. Ensure that “Allow Comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page” are checked in the Discussion section.
6. Verify the post slug is correct
7. Add a product description
   1. Concise, but SEO rich
   2. Write in inverted pyramid structure, so the broadly-descriptive information is at the top (for shortening and SEO)
8. Add the WPShopify shortcode for the product, in the format of:
   1. {wps_products tags=”Product Name”}, where “{” and “}” are left and right square brackets.
9. Add copyright at the very end of the product description, in the form of:
   1. {Product Name} design Copyright © 2017, {Copyright Holder Name}. All Rights Reserved. Reproduced by TKCSB Images with permission of the copyright holder.
10. Edit the permalink for better SEO
11. Change status, visibility, and publish date as appropriate.
