Demo Content Importer

To get quickly the same look of the theme as in the demo see here instructions to Import the Demo Content.

Setting up the Featured Slider

1. To add a post in the Featured Slideshow, mark the Feature on Homepage option from editing page.
2. Optionally you can display a video in the slider by inserting embed code in the Embed Video field. Don’t insert just the URL of the video, but FULL embed code.
3. When embedding videos from YouTube or Vimeo, a thumbnail will be generated automatically. You can override it uploading manually a Featured Image. For the rest videos you will also have to upload a Featured Image, which will be displayed on archive pages.
4. You can adjust text appearing in a slide from Excerpt box, otherwise automatically will appear first 50 words from your post

Good to know

• It’s recommended to turn off slideshow auto-rotation feature if you have videos in your slider, so you can prevent auto-rotation when a video is being watched.
• The slider will work properly only when there are at least 2 featured posts.
• From Theme Options -> Slider Settings you can adjust different options of the slider, like effect, auto-rotation.

Notes about Automatic Video Thumbnails

• Automatic Video Thumbnails are generated only for YouTube and Vimeo videos.
• You can enter the Video URL and it will convert automatically to embed code.
• The video must not be set to “private” or otherwise hidden from public access.

Widgets

To add widgets in the Sidebar or Footer of this theme, you’d need to access Appearance -> Widgets menu, and drag widgets to your Sidebar to activate them.

Load Default Widgets

From Theme Options you can load automatically default widgets, exactly as in theme demo. All you have to do is to navigate to Theme Options -> Import/Export -> Widgets and click the button Load default widget settings
