Add a new cause through Causes → Add New Cause in the WordPress admin panel.

Basic Fields

Causes use the same basic fields as standard posts:

• Title — The cause name or heading.
• Editor — The main content area. Use the Gutenberg block editor to add text, images, and other blocks.
• Featured Image — The main image that represents this cause in archive listings and the single page header.
• Excerpt — A short summary displayed in archive listings.
• Categories — Assign to one or more causes categories.

Cause Options

Below the editor, you will find the Cause Options panel with settings specific to this content type. If the options are not visible, check the Screen Options at the top of the page.

Important: Save the post first before editing the cause options. Some fields only appear after the initial save.

• Featured Image — Show or hide the featured image on the single cause page.
• Donation Link — Choose Default URL (links to the main donation page) or Custom URL to set a specific donation link for this cause.
• Info Box — Enable to display the cause information box in the sidebar, showing the goal amount and progress bar.
• Goal Amount — Set the fundraising target amount for this cause. The progress bar updates automatically as donations come in.
• Sidebar — Select which sidebar to display. Default: Causes Sidebar.
