Demo Content

Basic Setup

If you are not a WordPress beginner and you’ve just skipped the demo content setup you should get the basic idea of how this theme works.

Menus

Theme supports 2 menus on 2 different locations: Top Menu and Main Menu, they both support multi level sub menus.

  • Top Menu is located in the Top Bar (the very top of your website). Navigate to Appearance > Menus, create a new menu, add menu items and set Display Location to “Top Menu” then click on Save Menu button.
  • Main Menu is located under the Page Header(logo section) and this is a main navigation of your website. To setup Main Menu navigate to Appearance > Menus, create a new menu, add menu items and set Display Location to “Main Menu” then click on Save Menu button.



Logo Setup
  • To set up a Logo navigate to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Logo Setup. Select an Image from Media Library or upload a new one.
  • Width option should be the same as your logo image width(x) dimension is. To setup a Retina logo, you need to upload 2x bigger image than the Width option is set, for ex: if the Logo image width(x dimension) is 400px, then you should set Width option to 200px.
  • Also, you can Show/Hide Tagline under the Logo image. Use Display Site Title and Tagline checkbox for that.



Header Image

Actually, the Header Image is a Logo background area, you can set a background image from Appearance > Customize > Header Image > Page Header (tab). To set up a full screen image, you should set Background Image Size to Cover, but if you want the header image to be repeated – set to Pattern.



Social Media

To set up Social Media Icons navigate to Appearance > Customize > Social Media, first select the icon, then enter your social media URL. These icons will appear in the Top Bar (the very top of your website).



You can disable Top Menu and Social Icons globally form Appearance > Customize > Top Bar.



Copyright

You can add your own Copyright information from Appearance > Customize > Page Footer, but the theme and author credits are unchangeable in the Free version.



Featured Area

In the featured area you can display Featured Slider and Featured Links(promo boxes).

Featured Slider
  • Enable Featured Slider from Appearance > Customize > Featured Slider. You can dislpay randomized All Posts or posts by Category in the slider. Also you can set the Number of Slides, which will limit the posts in the slider.
  • Please note that the post which does NOT have set the Featured Image will NOT appear in the slider.



Featured Links

Featured Links or Promo Boxes will showcase your custom links or links to pages on your website. Go to Appearance > Customize > Featured Links and enable them via global checkbox. Then you should set a Title, URL and an Image, but note that without images they won’t work properly.



Blog Feed

All Blog Page options are located in Appearance > Customize > Blog Page section. You can change Post Description type from Post Excerpt to Post Content. The Post Excerpt will display limited trimmed content(only words), while the Post Content will show original post content which could be cut by
<!–more–> tag. You can Change Post Pagination type from Default to Numeric as well.

Related Posts could be disabled by setting Related Posts – Display options to None value.
