🖼️ The Showcase Page

The Showcase page is a library of all your live reports on one page. Visitors can search, filter by niche and click straight into any report. It is the link to share when you want to offer everything at once, for example in your email signature or social profile.

It is served outside your WordPress theme, so it loads fast and looks the same on any site.

Where to find it:

• Settings: Free Consumer Reports, then the Showcase tab.
• The live page: yoursite.com/report-resources/ unless you change its slug. The Your Showcase Page card at the top of the tab shows the Live URL.

What visitors see:

• A header bar with your Page Title, a Search resources box and a Share button.
• A grid of cards. Each card shows the niche badge, the cover, the title, the start of the headline and a Get Free Access button.
• A Categories list on the right with each niche and its count, and SHOW ALL with the total. On phones it becomes a row of buttons.
• A Load More Resources button when there are more cards.
• Footer links to Privacy, Terms, Disclaimer and Contact pages.

Only reports that are switched on, from niches your licence includes, appear. Custom funnels from the Funnel Builder show in their own category.

Each niche has its own address too, for example yoursite.com/report-resources/category/health/. Share it to send people straight to one niche.

The settings:

Theme: pick one of 7 colour themes: Purple Pro (the default), Ocean Blue, Dark Mode, Starter Green, Starter Orange, Starter Red or Minimal White. It sets the header, buttons, badges and accent colours.

Layout:

• Page Title: the name in the header bar, for example Free Guides From Your Site.
• Page Slug: the page's address after your domain, for example report-resources.
• Use as Homepage: tick it to show the Showcase when people visit your home page. It also stays at its own address.
• CTA Button Text: the button on every card. It starts as Get Free Access.

Banners:

• Top Banner: an Image URL (or click Upload) and a Link URL. It shows above the cards.
• Bottom Banner: the same, shown below the cards.

Click Save Showcase Settings. After changing the Page Slug, go to WordPress Settings, then Permalinks, and click Save Changes once.

The WordPress page:

The Setup Wizard also creates a normal WordPress page called Free Consumer Reports Resources. It holds the shortcode [fcr_showcase], which shows a button to the Showcase. Add that page to your site menu, or put [fcr_showcase] on any page or post.

Share the Showcase:

1. Open the Showcase tab and copy the Live URL from the Your Showcase Page card.
2. Put it where people look for more: your email signature, your social profiles, the end of your blog posts.
3. For one niche, add /category/ and the niche slug, for example yoursite.com/report-resources/category/home/.
4. On the live page, the Share button copies the page address and says "Link copied to clipboard!"

Make it your home page:

1. Open the Showcase tab and tick Use as Homepage.
2. Click Save Showcase Settings.
3. Visit yoursite.com. The Showcase opens there, and still opens at its own address too.

Untick it to bring back your normal home page.

A real example:

yoursite.com uses the Ocean Blue theme with the title Free Guides From Your Site and the slug report-resources. The page lists 402 reports, because two beauty reports are switched off. The owner added a top banner for their weekly deals newsletter and put the Showcase link in their Instagram profile.

Tips:

• Banners work best at the full width of the page. Use a wide, short image.
• Typing your prefix alone, for example yoursite.com/reports/, also takes visitors to the Showcase.
• For a short page with only your best covers, build a Splash Page instead. See Splash Pages.
