Homepage Setup

Here is the quick step-by-step guide for how this theme’s demo homepage was setup from the WordPress admin panel. You can find much more information on the following steps in great detail by viewing the documentation that came in your theme’s download package. Keep in mind this is only a quick step-by-step for the theme demo’s homepage and you definitely do not have to setup your site in this way if you don’t want to.

1. Install the theme under Appearance > Themes.
2. Go to Settings > Reading > Frontpage Displays, and make sure you’ve selected “your latest posts”.
3. Go to the Sliders page and create a custom slider.
4. Go to the Builder page and create a new custom layout. Use “Barely Corporate Homepage” as your layout’s starting point. Configure your element settings, including selecting your custom slider in the slider element, and save the layout.
5. Go to Appearance > Theme Options > Content > Homepage, select to show a custom layout, and select the custom layout you’ve created.
6. Go to Appearance > Widget Areas and create a new custom widget area. For its location, select the “Right Sidebar” location. Under its assignments, apply it the homepage.
