When setting up ExpressionEngine member groups, login as your client to see what they see and troubleshoot problems.

In keeping with Ellis Lab’s development philosophy, ExpressionEngine 2 is pretty bare bones. Fortunately, there are lots of great add-ons to make it easier to use.

Replacing the default ExpressionEngine logo on the login screen is easy.

By default, ExpressionEngine URLs are ugly, always prefixed by index.php.  With a little work, you can vanquish this unneccesary piece of your URLs.

If you find yourself repeating information in your ExpressionEngine code, global variables will save you time and headache.

If your server is happy with it, replacing index.php in your Expression Engine site URLs is quick and easy, and will make your URLs much prettier.

Copying an Expression Engine installing is straightforward.  If you have an installation working the way you like it, why not copy it instead of going through all the steps to install a new one? By copying an existing installation, you’ll preserve all the settings, extensions, modules and plugins that you use. You can even login to the new installation with the same username and password!
