What is the Loop?
The WordPress Loop is a term used when WordPress displays each of your posts. As each post is displayed, one iteration of The Loop has occurred.
How does LoopBuddy "take over" a Loop?
The theme must support LoopBuddy in order for LoopBuddy to take over the Loop. Essentially LoopBuddy hooks in, the theme calls a special function, and LoopBuddy lets the theme know if it is able to take over the Loop in that particular instance.
Can I use LoopBuddy even if my theme doesn't support it?
Yes, you can use LoopBuddy in any widgitized area on your site.
Can I make my own Layout Editor items?
Yes, you can add your own using our built-in hooks.
I'm having trouble with LoopBuddy. Where can I go for help?
Please use the LoopBuddy Support Forum or check out the LoopBuddy Codex.
