When staff members publish posts, they appear immediately on the public website under their personal profile. This guide walks through how staff members can preview their live post feed from the admin console and how students and families access posts from the public school website.
Method 1: Preview from the CMS Admin Area
This method is ideal for staff members who are actively editing their personal page or posts and want to verify how their content renders to visitors:
Log into your Edlio CMS admin account.
Navigate to your Personal Pages or Posts area.
Click the Link to public site URL (e.g.,
https://your-school.edlio.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=...&type=u) displayed near the top of the management panel.Your personal page and recent posts stream will open in a new browser tab, displaying your content exactly as public visitors see it.
Method 2: Access from the Public School Website (Staff Directory)
Students, parents, and community members access staff posts through the school's public website directory:
Navigate to the school's public website homepage.
Open the Staff Directory (or Teachers & Staff) page from the main site navigation.
Use the search box or browse the staff list to find the teacher's name.
Click the staff member's name or profile photo to open their personal page.
Understanding What Visitors See
When a visitor lands on a teacher's personal page, the public interface features:
Teacher Profile & Bio: Staff name, photo, job title, and bio information on the right sidebar or header.
+ Subscribe Button: A prominent button enabling parents and students to register their email address for automated 5:30 PM daily updates.
Recent Posts Feed: Published posts displayed in reverse chronological order (newest on top), complete with headlines, post dates, attached media, and downloadable files.
Classes & Pages Navigation: Links to the teacher's individual class pages, syllabi, and custom classroom sub-pages.
