Activity/sign up page

    I am working on setting up my site to where the main directory of the domain ( http://exampledomain.com) is the activity page, kinda like when you go to facebook and their domain is the activity feed. However I also want the main page to be a welcome and sign up page, similar to the way facebook works.

    Is there a way to do this with BuddyPress? Thank you!

    go to dashboard -> Settings -> Reading.. change home page to be activity.. and make your blog posts a new page called “whatever” you have to make a new page called “whatever or site blog” or something first.

    Should be able to make a div block that includes some welcome message info and a sign up form and plop that into the header of your theme.. have is conditional like “if_is_home”.. one of the themes I use on a site (bp-social) does something like this, but it uses “if_is_logged_out(notlogged_in)”, then display a content block that has some welcome info and a sign in / sign up for in it.. that block does not appear once someone is logged in..

    I imagine there may be some plugins in the wp-repo that add a content block conditionally.. might be easy if your theme has header widget areas..

    So yeah I think there are several ways to do this with buddypress, if I understand what you mean.

    Yes that’s exactly what I mean! I don’t have an extensive knowledge of PHP but I know there is some way to set that up with if statements. In order to do that with the activity page do you know which file I would have to edit?
    Either to have that content block show when not logged in or display a completely different looking page with the same URL?Would that be a possibility?

    Thank you!
