Frequently Asked Questions about Plinkit

This page provides answers to some frequently asked questions about Plinkit.

Why is the page I added to my site only showing up when I am logged in? Why can’t public patrons see it?

You have probably forgotten to change the publishing state of your new page from public draft to published. To do this, log in to Plinkit, click public draft on the green menu bar, and then select publish.

Why isn’t my Director’s Message showing up in the news portlet anymore? I didn’t set an expiration date for it.

The news portlet shows only the most recent news items, as determined by their effective dates. Go to the properties tab for your Director’s Message and change your effective date to today’s date.

Why I can’t find where to change the date and contact information for my event?

Some event information, such and the event start and end dates and times and the contact information, cannot be edited while the event is in a published state. To make corrections, you must first retract the event notification—but don’t forget to republish it after you have made your edits.

I haven’t found the information I need. How can I get more help with Plinkit?
