Override home page with CIVICRM_UF_WP_BASEPAGE in wordpress is not working
April 04, 2014, 01:29:56 pm
I am trying to change the default civi template from home page to a new template that I have set up. I updated 'civicrm.settings.php'  with:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_WP_BASEPAGE', 'mytemplate');

mytemplate being the name of my template. I have tried to do this with the filename also as it seems unclear in the docs which to use. Doesn't work either.

It is still defaulting to index.php (home page).

Any idea how I can get this override to take place.

Thanks.

this setting has now moved to the UI and is now part of the wp admin settings

Whereabouts in the settings. I have tried 'administer' > 'system settings' > 'directories' but I haven't had any luck.

And can the path be a template file within the theme?

Thanks

WordPress Users Table Name? Seems like that should be 'wp_users'.

Don't think that has anything to do with templates.

@lee

You are fairly new to the forum, and so perhaps to CiviCRM.  The recommendation for all new installs is 4.4.  Is this a new install and if so, can you explain why you have chosen 4.2.16 rather than the latest version of 4.4?
   
In 4.4 the page you have been referred to also includes:
Quote
WordPress Base Page    http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/   _____________________

By default, CiviCRM will generate front-facing pages using the home page at http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/ as its base. If you want to use a different template for CiviCRM pages, set the path here.

I don't know when that change happened

Hi Joanne,

I am new to civi, yes. That version was what was available when I started the project. I will update.  Thanks for your help.
