Please Note: A new CLF WordPress Theme (named UBC Collab) was added to the WordPress CMS service in March 2013. Some of the documentation here currently pertains to an older version of the CLF WordPress Theme. New and revised documentation will soon be added to include helpful tips for sites using UBC Collab. Do you have issues with the theme? If so please document here.

Welcome to the Documentation Codex for the UBC CMS Service. Here you can find and contribute to the UBC CMS support and help documentation. The pages below are an effort to document best practices and provide users with tutorials on how to use the WordPress-based CMS service. You can also download this material as a pdf wiki book.
