Need some wordpress help

[TCLGirls]

Hey, does anyone know of a good plugin that will present to the surfer my own splash image/graphic before allowing the surfer to enter the front page of the bloq?

I tried WP Splash Image, but it does not seem to work with the latest version of WP. Are there any other alternatives? Thanks.

Create a custom page in your theme folder, call it splash.php or w/e

In the very top of the page, put the following:

<?php
/* Template Name: Splash Page */
?>

Next, copy your main "home" page (usually home.php) to blog_page.php and add the following to the top:

<?php
/* Template Name: Blogs Page */
?>

Then go into wordpress admin, create a new page and in the right column under "Page Attributes", select Splash Page from the drop down menu for Template. Publish the page.

Now, create another new page, and select "Blogs Page" for the template. Publish Page

Now go into Settings > Reading

Check the "A static page" box then select "Splash Page" for front page and "Blogs Page" for posts page.

you could mod the content warning plugins to do what you want

We use our above posted method for all of our new sites' warning pages. Don't install more plugins than you have to imho.

Though if you prefer to use a plugin over manually changing/editing files yourself then by all means
