This is a quick startup guide and feature tour of the $themater_current_theme->Name theme. If you're new to WordPress or our themes we recommend you check this out before you start using $themater_current_theme->Name. You will learn what special features are available and how to use the theme options page. Let's get started!
$themater_current_theme->Name comes with a bunch of special features!
There are loads of ways to customise your theme here! You can change just about anything in the theme from the logo image to the speed of the slideshow. The options are also divided into tabs so you can easily navigate through your choices. For example, if you wanted to remove or replace the default header banner, you can click on the \"Ads\" tab and then either delete or customise the code in the \"header banner\" box. Just click save and then you're done! Easy as that.
$themater_current_theme->Name allows you to change what appears in the menu bar using a simple drag-and-drop options screen. You can access this page by clicking on the wp-admin / Appearance / Menus. You can have many different custom menus and you can assign them to either the primary or secondary menu.
Creating a custom menu is very simple. These 5 short steps will show you how:
The slideshow is very easy to use. It scrolls through the posts, pages or even custom slides that you've written. You can access the options for the slideshow in the theme options under the \"Featured Posts\" tab. Let's take a quick look at what you can do:
$themater_current_theme->Name lets you choose what you want to put in your sidebar. Each item in a sidebar is called a widget. The theme puts its own widgets in the sidebars by default so that it doesn't look too empty when you first get it. You can edit the default added widgets or set your own widgets by going to the wp-admin / Appearance / Widgets. To add your own widgets just drag and drop the widgets (shown in the middle of the screen) to the sidebars (shown on the right of the screen). Just like the menus, you can drag-and-drop them into any order you want.
This theme also comes with 7+ widgets of its own! Here's a brief summary for some widgets:
You can choose to display different page templates on your site if you choose! One important one is the full width template page which removes the sidebar(s) from your theme if you want to have a page which lets you put wider content in your website! The other page templates are the sitemap, which lists all the categories and pages in your site; the archive page which lists the most recent posts on your site in a simple list; and the contact form page which has a built in ready to use contact form!
A page template can be selected when on the page editing screen. On the right hand side you'll see a box called \"page attributes\" with the \"template\" drop-down box inside.
Once you've assigned a page as a contact form you'll need to set the email address that you want to receive the emails to. By default it's the admin email address you used when settings up WordPress but to change it you can go to the \"general\" tab in the theme options.
It is a great shopping cart plugin. Now you can easily open your online store. The theme supports and works very well with the plugin.
That's it! We hope you enjoy creating your new website. Remember that if you need any more help you can come visit us in the support center3. You can find more support links in the theme options under the \"Support\" tab. Thank you!
