Overview
Use this template for text-heavy informational pages. This template uses a chapter listing to make it easy for site visitors to quickly jump around to different sections. You may want to limit chapters to no more than eight total, as too many chapters may overwhelm visitors.
Be aware that chaptered pages use the classic ACF editor, which does not have autosave.

Adding an image banner
The default header for the Chaptered Page is the department title against a gold background. You can customize the page by adding an image banner, which will appear under the menu bar.
Follow these guidelines for an optimal banner appearance:
-
The image size should be 2000 x 1150px. It's okay if your image isn't exactly 2000 x 1150px, but try to ensure that the image isn't too much smaller and that it has a 16:9 aspect ratio. Otherwise, WordPress will automatically crop the image to fit the banner area.
-
Avoid putting critical information along the lower portion and upper edge. These areas may get covered by the menu bar, page title, and link if used. Longer page titles may cover a larger portion of the image than the example below.
