Hi, I'm trying to use Serendipity as a 'regular' website. How do I set the homepage to a 'static' page (ie. I don't want entries displaying there)
:?: TIA

There is a plugin named "static pages" that you can install. You then create as many different static pages as you wish, any one of which can be set to be the homepage.

Many thanks Don ....... I've already created static pages, but had overlooked this option. :roll:
Is there any way I can avoid my name & date displaying ??
I suppose that I could get around this using an iframe, but don't want to go that way unless it's necessary. Mebbe there is a simple file 'hack' :?:

You can hide it using css if you like. Try adding this to your stylesheet:

Code: Select all

.staticpage_author,
.staticpage_metainfo_lastchange {
    display: none;
}
