Your Site
What theme is available? MU Pages uses WordPress Twenty Twenty-Five, a clean, flexible, block-based theme. You can customize colors, fonts, layout, and more through the Site Editor (Appearance → Editor). Note that MU Pages does not include Marshall University branding — your site’s look and feel is yours to define within the theme.
Can I use my own theme or install other plugins? No. To maintain security and platform stability, only the provided theme and plugins are available. If you need functionality not covered by the available tools, the WordPress block editor is quite powerful and may already support what you’re looking for.

Are there content guidelines I need to follow? Yes. All content published on MU Pages must comply with Board of Governors Rule AA-16: Professional Responsibility, Academic Responsibility, & Academic Freedom. Please review the policy at www.marshall.edu/policies/ before publishing.
