Question 21 (1 pt)

A parent says the phone number is correct on the Contact page but wrong on the Admissions page. Is this possible?

Yes — each page has its own phone number setting

7 points · 3 questions covering Spotlight and Category News patterns.

Question 22 (2 points)

What does setting the Spotlight Article meta box on the Homepage do?

It adds a small badge to the post title in the news listing

It replaces the rotating Featured news slider with a cinematic full-bleed hero of one specific article. Clearing the field brings the slider back.

It pins the post permanently as a sticky note in the admin dashboard

It controls which posts get sent to email subscribers

Question 23 (2 points)

True or false: the Spotlight feature is homepage-only — you can’t pin a Spotlight on other pages like About or Alumni.

True — Spotlights are reserved for the homepage hero slot

False — you can drop the “Spotlight Hero” pattern on any page from the block inserter, then set the Spotlight Article meta box on that page

False — but it requires a developer to wire it up on each new page

Question 24 (3 points)

An editor wants the /alumni/ page to automatically show the 3 most recent Alumni news articles as a card grid. What’s the workflow?

Edit the page → + → search “Category News” → pick “3-Card Grid” → click the inserted Query block → set the category to Alumni in the sidebar

Manually copy the latest 3 articles into the page content, and update each time a new one is published

Ask a developer to update the alumni-tabs.php pattern

Use the Spotlight Hero pattern with a category=alumni attribute
