Overview

Publisher Media Kit provides a quick and easy option for small to medium sized publishers to digitize their media kit. If you are a publisher hoping for a page like the NY Times' Advertising Standard Units, but do not have a designer or developer on staff? Then this plugin is for you. If you are still using a print or PDF version of your media kit to sell space on your website, but want show advertisers looking to buy digital real estate that you are a digital-forward partner? Then this plugin is for you.

The plugin adds a new "Media Kit" page, block patterns, and placeholder content that can then be customized to fit your need (e.g., text, links, colors, images, adding page link to site footer).

Frequently Asked Questions

I accidentally deleted a block from my Media Kit page, how do I add it back?

Click the block inserter (+ button) in the top left of the block editor, click the Patterns tab, select Publisher Media Kit in the dropdown, and select the specific Block Pattern that you want to add back to your page.

I want to add block from my Media Kit page on a different post/page, how do I add it outside the Media Kit page?

Click the block inserter (+ button) in the top left of the block editor, click the Patterns tab, select Publisher Media Kit in the dropdown, and select the specific Block Pattern that you want to add to your post/page.

If I rename the page title (e.g. to 'Advertising') and then deactivate and subsequently reactivate the plugin, would the plugin generate a new 'Media Kit' page?

The plugin specifically checks for the page slug media-kit, meaning that even if you modify the page name, the plugin will not generate a new page unless the page slug is altered or the page is moved to the trash.

Support Level

Stable: 10up is not planning to develop any new features for this, but will still respond to bug reports and security concerns. We welcome PRs, but any that include new features should be small and easy to integrate and should not include breaking changes. We otherwise intend to keep this tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
