daphne 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 I bought the White House Pro theme and I want to activate it over the free white house theme. There are a ton of plugins. Do I really need all of them for the theme to work? I am NOT a professional web designer... and I didn't see an experience necessary message :-) Please patient with me.

Andrew 207 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 No you don't need to activate them all for the theme to work- but you do to get full functionality... cforms: allows contact forms wp-pagenavi: stylized paginated posts wp-post-thumbnail: helps you add thumbs to post (adds custom fields with name 'thumb' and a url to the uploaded/cropped image) Ad-minister: a plugin for adding ads to your blog (optional if you want ads) All in one Seo: Allows you to tune your pages and posts for search engines (optional but recommended) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daphne 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 So when I activate White House Pro over the free white house template is supposed to look like the demo home page? When I activated the Pro theme the front page didn't look any different. Daphne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daphne 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Figured out how to load the pro theme. The instruction guide very good for an amateur like me :-) The studio press lifestyle theme I use for another site gave me hell. I have couple of minor questions...will ask when the sun comes up.
