The “News” Tab – Where does it get its content from?

Would the “News” tab be related to a specific category or something?

I do have the “News” tab on the Menu bar next to “Home” tab, but no matter how many posts or pages I add, nothing shows on the News page.

Is there a specific category that I have to assign this to?

Thank you so much. Sorry if this is a dumb question!

I have the same problem. Posts are there, but nothing shows up at URL/blog.

If you are running a wp theme on your blog there was a problem with ‘news’ or not listing the recent blog posts. This has been fixed in the recent trunk. I don’t think it made it to the beta 2 release.

Try updating to the recent trunk.

Thank you so much.

Which plugin does the “News” belong to?

or Should we update all the plugins from the recent trunk?

The ‘news’ button which has mutated to the ‘blog’ button in the trunk, isn’t a widget. It just uses your theme’s index.php template to list the recent blog posts on your blog. Whatever ‘index.php’ does in your theme that’s what you see.

Updating to the most recent trunk gets you updates for everything in the bp universe. This is wide and vast as you know. Your dishwasher will probably run quieter also.

YES!

I just uploaded the most recent version off the trunk. “news” tab is not “blog” and it sends me right to the latest post. It’s solved..

And the dishwasher is definitely quieter:)

Thank you.

Sorry, I meant “news” tab is now “blog” tab.
