Home page like facebook or linkedin

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any plugin to create a page before the actual home page (the one with the menu, the side bar etc..)
It could look like on those website’s home page: (explanations, login if already member and register form if not)

or
http://www.linkedin.com/home

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Richard

Same way you do with WordPress blog theme. Either create
– home.php with the HTML, special widget area, and/or login code etc. Then upload to active theme folder. OR
– special Page Template with special widget area for login and/or login code.. Then Page > Add New with title Home and associate page template, Publish. Then go to Settings > Reading and choose – static front page with name of page as home page.

Thanks for your answer

To be honest I am not able to make the first one.
And about the second one, I didn’t understand it that well. Because I already have a static page in the front page. But I would like a new page before that one and without the menu and everything..
Can you please explain again the second one?

Thanks again

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates and widgetize it.
Add http://bp-theme-converts.com/buddypress-log-inout-widget/
Then change the old static page in front page to the new one you created. After all, there can only be one home page, normally.
