 * I’m not sure? LoL
 * But when I look at this site: [http://minecraftchallenges.com/achievement/npc-village/](http://minecraftchallenges.com/achievement/npc-village/)
 * And compare an achievement to mine: [http://senilityguild.com/achievement/part-crew/](http://senilityguild.com/achievement/part-crew/)
 * How come his is prettier than mine?
 * How did he categorize his achievements like that, and how did he include the 
   redeem code. Did he post that in the content – or is this done by template.
 * I also like his leader board and would love one for my site too.
 * Another issue is to get the directory listing of achievements I have to put _achievements_
   in the url instead of as above _achievement_. (could this be because I have a
   tag or something else already using the term achievement?
 * [http://senilityguild.com/achievements/](http://senilityguild.com/achievements/)
 * I’d also like to remove the link to the author on the achievement page – but 
   not sure how to do this.
 * Also, how do I grant all my members an award based on their user group without
   having to go into each one – one by one…would this be done by using the redemption
   code?
 * Sorry for all the questions, I did try going through all the support questions
   to answer them.

 * Hi kiwi_pearlsnz
 * > How come his is prettier than mine?
 * The owner of that site’s presumably built custom templates and CSS to make it
   look like that. Actually, I think the HTML’s been pinched from [http://teensummerchallenge.org/achievements/a-tale-for-every-tail/](http://teensummerchallenge.org/achievements/a-tale-for-every-tail/)
   which is a great site. 🙂
 * > I also like his leader board and would love one for my site too.
 * The leaderboard in Achievements currently is a widget; take a look. To get it
   on its own page/URL like that, I’d suggest creating a custom Page, and using 
   the following shortcode: `[dpa-leaderboard]`
 * > Another issue is to get the directory listing of achievements I have to put

 * No, this is intentional and working as expected. It’s just a plural/singular 
   naming thing which I liked better, so it was changed in some previous version.
   Maybe the site owner’s running an old version of Achievements, or has just decided
   to customise the URLs like this.
 * > Also, how do I grant all my members an award based on their user group without

 * You could use a redemption code, and let users type the code in to claim an achievement.
   That’s probably the easiest solution, and it will also let you see what the active
   users are in that group.
 * > I’d also like to remove the link to the author on the achievement page – but
   > not sure how to do this.
 * All in all, it sounds like you’re going to have a bunch of HTML/CSS customisations
   that you need to do in order to change the look of the page. How good’s your 
   HTML/CSS/basic PHP understanding? If you know some stuff, I’ll explain how to
   begin to customise the templates, and then the hard part’s up to you 🙂

 * Thank you so much for your reply.
 * I will get fiddling today. I know a fair bit – just need to be pointed in the
   right direction/files to edit and copy over to my child theme.
 * I already edited the loop to show the badge picture, that was easy…found that
   scrolling through the support.
 * So basically, I just want to create an achievement page template I guess and 
   not use the default template that all my other posts use.

 * Ok, copy the folder /plugins/achievements/templates/achievements/achievements/
   to /themes/YOUR_THEME/ (e.g. /themes/YOUR_THEME/achievements/).
 * Any edits you make to those templates in this new location will override the 
   templates that come with Achievements by default. I suggest that once you’ve 
   figured out which templates you are *not* going to customise, to delete those
   copies from the theme folder so that you can take advantage of any changes in
   the built-in templates in the future.
