Installation Instructions
The following plugins have been licensed by Wake Forest University Information Systems for use by WFU faculty, staff, and students on the WakeSites platform only.
The WakeSites Starter Install contains the free version of Astra, a flexible and intuitive WordPress theme. The Astra Pro plugin provides additional functionality such as enhanced typography and color options, sticky headers, blog and site layout controls, and more.
Easily import fully-designed demo sites with the Astra Premium Sites plugin. WP Portfolio makes it easy to build a website, image, or video portfolio. Lastly, the Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin may be used with the Elementor page builder to design sites with a fully-visual, drag-and-drop interface. That said, Information Systems recommends using the built-in WordPress Gutenberg editor with the Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg plugin (already included in the WakeSites Starter Install).
The WakeSites Terms of Service and all University Computing Policies apply when using these plugins. Please remember that e-commerce of any kind is not permitted.
