# Setup checklist

What to look at on a live site after switching to Aragorn. Everything here is built and expected to work — this is a verification pass, not a to-do list. Where something needs explaining, the note links out rather than explaining it in the table.

## Listings

| # | Check                                | Expect                                                        |
| - | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 18 | All news button       | Links to the full listing; label from `LAN_THEME_NEWS_ALL`                                                |

## Known issues

| **Featured** setting in Menu Manager has no effect | Bug in e107, reported upstream. Use `featured=1` in a layout-placed grid instead — [details](/e107-aragorn-theme/plugins/news/news-grid.md#known-issue-the-featured-setting) |
| Switching the front listing from grid to rows      | Under investigation — the `list` setting can still render as a grid on some installs                                                                                         |

## Not restyled

These work but keep their default appearance, so do not report them as broken:

* The `related` articles block below an article
* Comments inside the article view — these come from the comment plugin
* RSS output
