Create a page template the same as in WP.

Add a new page called home. Choose your page template.

Good suggestions. Keep them coming.

Errors galore.

Can you change the permalink for ‘community’ to url.com/activity ?

I’m referring to ideas for types of networks. Like a sports site, then I’d code the groups to be teams instead of groups. I already have this theme in the works. Wanted to get an idea of what people need.

That plugin is a quick fix. You will have to add styles to your themes CSS file to make it look right. Each theme has it’s own id’s and classes so there would be know way to make it look right for every theme out of the box. My suggestion is get firebug firefox add […]
