FAQ
=Where is the Tagline History list displayed?=
You can configure which page the Tagline History is shown on and the format it is displayed in. Currently the tagline
history is added immediately after the page entry on the chosen page.
=If I change the tagline on other pages will Tagline History pick it up=
Yes, you can change the tagline anywhere and Tagline History will pick up the change. Tagline History uses the
update_option_blogdescription action to determine when the tagline is changed.
=What the hell is the grace period?=
The grace period is used to prevent multiple changes in quick succesion from being added to your tagline history. It defaults to 10 seconds, meaning if you make a mistake and correct it within 10 seconds it will overwrite the last change.
=How do I remove a Tagline from the History?=
After you have configured your Tagline History page in the options you will be able to click on the remove link next to the taglines shown on the Tagline History page. You MUST BE logged in as an admin user to see the remove link.
=How do I change the layout/look of my taglines?=
Listed on the options page for this plugin is the template file names that are being used. Please feel free to modify those files to acheive your desired look. It is probably worth making a backup of the originals, just in case you need them.
