Serendipity Forums

Hi all,
I just started my website, using Serendipity for management. After logging into Serendipity, it allows me only to edit the Blog part (New entry/post, edit post, and so on)
How do I edit the contents inside the other parts, like "About Me", "Home", "News" and whatever else?

I'm not talking about the design aspect, I'm saying specifically about the dynamic contents (ie: About Me >>> "I'm joepublic, I live in XYZ city...." //// News: "Today I started a new project, called...")

Can anybody help me, please?
Thank you kindly!

It sounds like you are using RVSiteBuilders, is that correct? If so, you will need to contact them as they use their own customized version of Serendipity (unfortunately). if you are NOT using RVSiteBuilders, perhaps you could provide a URL to your site so we can have a look.

If you ARE using RVSiteBuilders, but do not NEED to use it (ie, have FTP or file system plus database access), we might be able to walk you through a reinstallation using the normal serendipity release.

Yes I am - straight out RV Sitebuilder. Thank you! I'll contact them and see what they say. Thanks for your help!

I actually have the same question. I am using the bulletproof template, which allowed me to create a navigation bar with home, about, services, my work, contact. But I can't figure out how to get different content on these pages.

Actually, I did figure out how to do the homepage differently. But when I do a new post on any of the other pages it makes it the same entry for every page.

Easy question? Any input would be welcome.

Well, you have to have different URLs in menu entries (for different data) and have this different data. No tricks more!
Which URLs to use and how to write "different data" is (slightly) another question and answer on it depends from "What you get", "How you structure your blog", "What you want to achieve in short easy word".
Dirty draft (my vision on task)
* "About page" isn't ordinary blog entry (but can be blog entry too), it's like static page outside standard blog hierarchy. OK, add one more plugin (Static Pages - serendipity_event_staticpage - seems as good candidate), create needed page in it, remember page URL, add link to this page in main menu
* "News" can be separate category or subset of existing categories. I just do category (categories), detect right URL ("Categories" block can be good helper here), add URL to menu
* Etc
