Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Snowball

Within a Snowball article, you can use the following shortcodes to add dynamic text: [title], [author], [date], [url], [blogname], [blogurl].

To apply your own customizations to a block, click the "</>" code button. This will open the block with the code view. In the CSS panel in the bottom right, scroll down and add your own CSS. This CSS will only be applied to this block, not any other blocks in the article.

Click the "gear" settings button in the top right of the article. A "Custom HTML head code" field is available where you can add CSS that's applied to the whole article. Be sure to wrap your CSS in style tags. You can also use this field to add web fonts and scripts to the article.

By default, Snowball articles use the active theme of your WordPress site. However, Snowball works best with the minimal, one-column theme that's included in the plugin. To activate it, click the "gear" settings button in the top right of the article, check the "Use Snowball theme" option, and save the article.

Use a plugin like Simple Post Types Permalinks to modify the default slug.

The Table of Contents block is based on all of the HTML IDs used in an article. You can add an ID to an HTML element within a Text or HTML block, as well as text fields like an Image block's caption, in order to have them listed in a table of contents.

Yes, administrators can create a custom template where they can add their own headers, footers, stylesheets, and scripts. For information on how the template should be formatted and where it should be placed, read the doc Using a Custom Template.

Yes, administrators can create custom modules, which are a bundle of HTML and JavaScript files. For information on how custom modules should be formatted and where they should be placed, read the doc Creating a Custom Module.
