This guide outlines the steps to create a new member account in the admin dashboard. A member can be a country or an organization. Follow the steps carefully to ensure accurate entry and placement.
Steps to Create a New Member Account:

Step 1: Access the Members Section
- In the WordPress admin dashboard, click on “Members” in the main menu on the left-hand side.
- This will take you to the Members list.
Step 2: Add a New Member
- At the top of the page, click the “Add New Member” button.
- A new member creation screen will appear.

Step 3: Enter Member Name
- In the title bar, type the full name of the country or organization.
- Example: Kingdom of Bahrain or Hope Network International.
Step 4: Re-enter Member Name
- Scroll down to the “Country/Organization Name” field and re-enter the exact name you typed in the title bar.
Step 5: Add Flag or Logo
- In the “Country Flag / Organization Logo” field, click “Add Image”.
- In the media library window:
- For countries: Search for and select a rounded country flag by typing the name of the country.
- For organizations: Upload a square logo.
- If the image isn’t available, upload a new one directly to the media library.
Step 6: Select Continent/Region
- Under “Continent / Region”, choose the correct continent or region that corresponds to the member.
- This will help categorize the member accurately on the site.
Step 7: Map Marker (Home Page Display)
- In the “Map Marker” field, type the member’s name.
- This marker will appear on the homepage map.

Step 8: Set Latitude Coordinates
- Use the provided map guide to determine the top (latitude) coordinates.
- Enter the coordinates carefully.
Step 9: Set Longitude Coordinates
- Similarly, use the map guide to find the left (longitude) coordinates.
- Enter precise values. Use decimal points for greater accuracy. Example: 50.25.
- Tip: If the marker is slightly off, adjust the latitude and longitude coordinates for precise placement.
Saving and Publishing the Member Profile
Step 10: Save as Draft or Publish

- Save as Draft:
- If the basic information is complete but you wish for the member to fill in additional details through their dashboard, click “Save Draft”.
- Publish:
- Once all necessary details have been entered by you or the member, click “Publish” to make the profile live.
Notes:
- Members will have access to update their profile, manage best practices, and submit testimonials through their dashboard before and as well after their account is published.
- Ensure that all media (flags/logos) are correctly formatted and optimized for display.
