Special Notes
You should already have a Project set up in your name, with the title you submitted. Please look for it in the left column under “Projects.” Do not start a new Post. Your project will only show up on the home page if you use your pre-built Project.
Please limit your work to your own project. Don’t change any site-wide settings.
Thanks!

Update: Add your author information
You can display your name as the project author in two ways.
- If the project is being done in the Right Sidebar page layout, look for the custom field “Author Box” right at the top. Put your name there and it will show up on the published project.
- Or, copy-and-paste this code exactly as you see it here somewhere in the project:
Project by: [acf field="author"]
You can see both of them here – one in the sidebar, one below the images:
