CMS How To

New UCC Website Style

Support materials for the new style are currently being generated. Basic information can be found on our Style 2017 section.

Pop Up Blocker

The first time you preview a section a pop-up block might prevent the preview from being displayed.

Chrome

• Look for the red X - the top right-hand side of your browser window

• Click this and choose always allow
• Click Done

• Refresh the page using F5
• Then preview the section again.

Note:

Pop-up blockers display differently in different browsers. The instructions above are for Google Chrome. If you are using Internet Explorer (blue E icon), or Firefox, or Safari, do a google search to make sure you recognise the pop-up blocker when it displays.

Publishing and Style

Sites will publish on an hourly schedule as before. There's no change to the appearance of your website, so pages should display as before. If your website is displaying oddly please email cmssupport@ucc.ie
