Quick Functional Test (Do This Now)

1. Go to Posts → Add New
2. Title it:
   “Round Rock Test Article”
3. In the right sidebar, check the box for Round Rock under Community
4. Publish

Now go to:

/community/round-rock/

If you see that post there — your system is working.

Next: Make Sure Your Custom Post Types Work Too

Repeat the same test for one of your custom post types:

Example:

• Add a Resource
• Assign it to Round Rock
• Publish
• Visit /community/round-rock/

If it does NOT appear, that means:
Your custom post type is not set to show in taxonomy archives.

That’s fixable — but test first.

Important Editorial Rule Going Forward

Every piece of content must have:

1 Community selected

If you skip it, it won’t show anywhere local.

This becomes part of your publishing discipline.

---

Now let’s zoom out strategically.

Right now you have:

Structure built
Communities created
Menu navigation working

You are officially ready to begin adding content.

Before you start adding a lot of content, one question:

Do you want:

• Community pages to mix all content types together (news + events + resources all in one stream)?

Or

• Community pages broken into sections (news section, events section, etc.)?

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

APEX is a proud partner of local, private high schools in the Los Angeles area. We are seeking caring host families for international students arriving in mid-August.

Hosting an international student is a unique and rewarding experience that promotes cultural exchange, global understanding, and lifelong connections. Host families play a vital role in supporting students as they adjust to life in the U.S. while pursuing an excellent education.

Host families receive a generous monthly stipend, ongoing local support, and the opportunity to share daily life, traditions, and community with a motivated student from abroad.

Special incentives available:

• Educators receive a one-time $1,000 sign-on bonus
• Earn a $500 referral bonus for each new host family you refer and is matched with a student

Students are English-speaking and eager to become part of an American family.

Open your home. Make a difference. Be part of something global.
