This theme is based on the excellent Dazzling theme, and has been updated with Ignite branding, etc. See the Dazzling documentation page for detailed instructions on using this theme.
To install, choose > Appearance > Themes > Add Themes and upload the zip file.
Next, choose > Appearance > Customize and change the Site Title and Tagline. Under > Header Image, upload a thumbnail of your Ignite's logo (preferably as a transparent PNG at 300x66 px - contact me if you need help creating the logo).
Under > Appearance > Widgets, add the required sections to the Sidebar. For IgniteSydney I use Text boxes to include:
- social media links
- EventBrite ticket widget
- sponsor logos
- Twitter feed
but you can include anything you like here.
Under the > Appearance > Customize > Menus section, set your main menu in the Navigation section (if you don't already have a menu, configure it under > Appearance > Menus).
The Dazzling theme has the option to include a "featured" post at the top of the homepage:
To set this up:
- under > Posts > Categories set up a new category "about"
- create a new post and include the details you'd like to appear on the homepage
- add this post to the "about" category
- set a featured image for this post
- under > Appearance > Theme Options ensure the option to show the slider is checked on
- specify the category "about" for the Slider Category
- choose the number of slide items (for IgniteSydney I use a single post only)
