Theme Overview

Menu Configuration

All our themes have support for Custom Navigation Menu, and here are quick instructions on how you can create a custom menu for your theme.

1. Navigate to Appearance → Menus section
2. Click on "+" to create a new menu
3. Press "Save Menu" button to register your newly created menu.
4. Add Pages, Categories or Custom Links to your menu
5. Drag and drop item from your menu to put them in the order you want or to create sub-menus. Don't forget to save your modifications.
6. Assign your menu to a theme location, or create a new custom menu if your theme has more than one navigation.

Thumbnails

Using "Featured Image" feature you can easily assign a thumbnail image for your posts. To do this you'll need to follow these steps:

1. When you are on editing post page, click on "Set featured image" from right sidebar
2. On the next screen you'll be asked to upload a picture from your computer. After uploading your image, click on the "Use as featured image" link and your image will be used for thumbnails.
3. If you won't assign a featured image to a post, then theme will automatically pull the first image from post content to be used as thumbnail.

Homepage Slideshow

We are using Custom Post Types for the slideshow on the homepage. You can add “slides” by creating new posts of this custom type.
Below you can see how the video slide used in our Live Demo looks like:

Widgets

To add widgets in the Sidebar of this theme, you’d need to access Appearance -> Widgets menu, and drag widgets to your Sidebar to activate them.
This theme includes 7 Custom Widgets which are ready to use:

• WPZOOM: Featured Posts
• WPZOOM: Featured Posts (wide)
• WPZOOM: Flickr Widget
• WPZOOM: Multimedia Carousel
• WPZOOM: Recent Comments
• WPZOOM: Social Widget

Use Custom Shortcodes

All shortcodes work by wrapping text/code into square brackets, like this for example:

[half] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.[/half]
[half_last] Ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. [/half_last]

The list of available shortcodes is as follows (you can see the live result for each here: EduPress Shortcodes

1. [half]…[/half] and should be paired with [half_last]… [/half_last] like shown above
2. [third]…[/third] [third]…[/third] [third_last]…[/third_last]
3. [checklist] <ul><li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> </ul> [/checklist]
4. [deletelist] <ul><li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> </ul> [/deletelist]
5. [arrowlist] <ul><li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> </ul> [/arrowlist]
6. [highlight] some text in a paragraph [/highlight]
7. [notice] Some paragraph of text goes here [/notice]
