FAQ
Questions teams ask before buying
Straight answers for setup, integrations, and day-two operations.
Is this the same as Circulars?
Circulars are official notices with acknowledgment. Blog is storytelling and marketing news.
Can posts require login?
Yes. Mark posts portal-only so only authenticated parents/students see them.
Do we need WordPress?
Not for campus news — Blog runs inside ScholarERP. Complex marketing sites can still coexist.
Can we feature posts on the homepage?
Pinned/featured flags support homepage or portal highlights where the theme allows.
