u3a-wp-configuration

A plugin to configure WordPress for u3a use.

This plugin is intended to be used for any initialisation or configuration of WordPress that is not related to a specific plugin and would commonly be added to a theme's functions.php file.

This is code is being maintained as a separate plugin to keep it independent from the theme, allowing the theme to be changed without losing these settings.
