HI, WELCOME TO BOLD TEMPLATE PAGE.
If you follow the instructions, you’ll end up with a design that resembles the demo. I recommend having the demo opened in a different tab and use it as a reference.
CHANGELOG
Version: 1.0.0
Release date: August 2017
LET’S START!
1. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! Before doing the installation please delete the FEATURED POST gadget from the LAYOUT section (if you have one installed).
Go to THEME > Click on the three dots at the right > Restore > Upload the .xml file.
2. TOP AND FOOTER MENU SETUP
Go to LAYOUT > MENU > EDIT.
In the NEW SITE NAME field, add the title you want to appear on the menu (e.g. HOME). In the NEW SITE URL field, add the page URL, don’t forget to add the HTTP:// prefix. Click on ADD LINK.
To create a drop-down menu, add the parent item name, in the URL field add a hashtag (#). To create the child item, add an underscore (_) before the title name and add the page URL, make sure the child items are placed under the parent item, see example below:
I recommend to start backward so you don’t have to move all items once you’re done, otherwise, you’ll have to use the arrows to rearrange them.
When you’re happy with the end result, SAVE changes.
3. POPULAR POSTS
Open the POPULAR POSTS gadget > Select the time frame (7 days = frequent updates), deselect all the option and display 3 posts. SAVE
4. FEATURED POST
Open the FEATURED gadget, select the 3 options under POST SNIPPET, choose the post you want to display and SAVE.
