I have three custom pages on my community: one for directions to our rehearsal/performance venues, one for our fundraising program, and one for contact information.

I'm trying to set up a custom page, but for both Inherit or choosing a theme it is mandatory to input custom HTML. I don't have custom HTML as I want it to use the current theme's. What is the solution for this?

Hi Pearl, The custom HTML field is where you put the contents of your custom page. This field is required, as there's no point to having a custom page without any content on it You don't need to worry about putting any custom CSS or theme settings in that box. Does that help? Brian

Ah! That part makes sense. But what about adding widgets to the right column..so it looks like the about page?

Hoop.la doesn't currently support adding widgets to custom pages, though this is an idea we've considered for a future release.

Hi, I don't know html. Is this the only way to add a page? I need to add a page that has text, image and links. Thanks

Hi @Pretty Thunder ! Since this article was posted, (a couple of years ago), we have added the ability to include widgets on a custom page, so that might help you get part way there. If you'd like us to create the custom page for you, you could consider buying an hour of professional services time ($200). To take care of that (or ask more specific questions), just post a fresh support topic and we'll get you taken care of!

Hi Douglas, We should have that done for you today. I'll post back once it is done.

Dave, thank you, myself and our sysadmin will be standing by for confirmation/instruction. Much appreciated!

All Done Douglas. The old without the s version automatically redirects to the with the s version also, so that people's book marks are not broken.

Confirmed, seeing this working on our end as well. Thank you for your help!

One thing I should note: dave@Davids-MacBook-Pro:~$ host community.msgnetworks.com community.msgnetworks.com is an alias for community.msgnetwork.com. community.msgnetwork.com is an alias for msg.evecommunity.net. msg.evecommunity.net has address 199.255.147.27 If you ever go to clean up your DNS and delete the old record, then the new one will stop working. You should probably fix that CNAME to point to msg.evecommunity.net directly to prevent an accident caused by cleaning up the zone file...

Working to clean that up now; appreciate the heads up.

Hi Aaron- I'm not sure I understand your question. Yes, Hoop.la is web accessible. In fact, it is an online community platform, which is inherently on the web. I'm guessing you are intending to ask something else? Are you asking if it is mobile-accessible? If so, the answer to that is also yes. If you can clarify your question further, we'd be happy to assist. Thanks!

Hi Ted, Thanks for your response. My questions is esentially wondering if it follows WCAG or section 508 or will it pass accessibility checks? I did a few checks on the site I was referring to and found quite a few issues with accessibility.

Hi Aaron- Okay, understand your question now. You are correct, Hoop.la would not pass every accessibility guideline at this time.

It would be a smart thing to do for a future release. Thanks for your input.

Hi Aaron- Yes, I agree! It's definitely a future goal. Have a nice weekend! Ted

I really must learn how to speak computer

hello! I used to have a hoopla powered website with the URL everyplaneteverystar.hoop.la however, this site has been deleted since I have not used it in several years. Is there any way to retrieve the info on this site?

Currently, our community is mapped to community.msgnetwork.com; we'd like to update to instead point community.msgnetworks.com (networks now being plural) and map to the community; question is, how do I go about making this update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
