WP Symposium Pro Online Manual

Complete installation of WP Symposium Pro from start to finish (video)

This is a long video! But it covers everything from installation of WordPress to a fully functional social network with WP Symposium Pro.

It covers the core plugin and all extensions available (from 33:21 in the video). Note that with every release of WP Symposium Pro new features and extensions are available!

As it is a long video, it is recommended that you use the video as a tutorial and pause/rewind/repeat as necessary. Also, as it covers so much, for certain aspects, the more dedicated video tutorials are recommended, otherwise, with all the features available, this video would last weeks!!
