Welcome to the "new" manual
Work In Progress: This page will become the manual for b2evolution version 5. New pages are added every day.
Old Manual: The manual for b2evolution versions 1.x, 2.x, 3.x and 4.x is still available here.
Documentation is a tedious thing… and so far, we probably spent too much time developing new features and not enough time documenting them. Actually, we do document the code – you’ll find plenty of comments in there – but we hardly have time to write end user documentation… With the release of v5, we want this to change! :p
b2evolution v5 Software Overview :
