  3. Carousel Menu (only in Premium Version available)

1. Main Header Menu

At first, create a new menu in "Appearance > Menus" panel and assign it to the "Main Header Menu" location. Then, in the left panels choose the requested pages/categories or custom links and add them to your new Menu. Then save all changes.

If you would like to create a drop-down submenu, just drag the required menu item and move it more to the right against its parent item. When you drop your sub-item, it should stay with indentation against the parent item. This way you can create unlimited levels of submenus.

This menu location is designed for managing your social networks profile links, which will be displayed as icons in the header section. Here is a guide how to set this menu:

  1. Create a new menu in "Appearance > Menus" panel and assign it to the "Social Networks Links" location.

As the "Link Text" field for the Social Networks Links menu is designed only for inserting class names of icons, all other texts filled here will not be displayed.

This menu location is designed for displaying an infinite slider containing a custom navigation links in the header. Once you assign a menu to the Carousel Menu location, you need to go into "Theme Options > Header > Carousel Content" and set here the value "Carousel Menu", because the Carousel Box by default displays your latest posts.

The best way how to make the language localization is by creating your own .po and .mo files and adding them into the "languages" theme folder. If you create them, please let me know, I will add your language localization into the official theme distribution.

If you don't know how to create the .po and .mo files, never mind! Simply install the CodeStyling Localization plugin and create your language localization in "Tools > Localization" panel.

O) FAQs about WordPress - top

1.) Where could I edit my website title and description?

Go to the "Settings > General" panel and rewrite here the fields "Site Title" and "Tagline".

2.) Where could I allow/disallow comments adding?

Go to the "Settings > Discussion" panel and set the options according to your needs. If you want to disallow adding comments only for one specific page/post, you can do so using the "Quick Edit" link at this page/post in "Posts > All Posts" or "Pages > All Pages".

3.) What are the "Tags"?

Tags are similar to Categories. They are used for better description of posts. We can say that Tags are the keywords which specify the posts in great detail.

4.) How could I set title, description and keywords meta tags for each page and post?

The easiest way is to install some SEO plugin, for example All In One SEO Pack.

5.) Where could I set the number of posts, which display on index/categories/archives/search pages?

Go to the "Settings > Reading" panel and set the options according to your needs.

6.) I do not want to display the latest posts on my home page. Could I set a static page as my home page?

Yes, go to the "Settings > Reading" panel and choose the option "A static page" instead of "Your latest posts".

7.) How could I set the URL addresses of my pages and posts into user-friendly form, instead of "?p=123" displaying?

Go to the "Settings > Permalinks" panel and choose the option "Post name" in section "Common Settings".

8.) Where could I set my time zone and date/time format?

Go to the "Settings > General" panel and set the options according to your needs.

9.) Where could I set the header image?

Go to the "Appearance > Header" panel and upload here your own header image or select one of the already uploaded images.

10.) I have tried to upload a theme through "Appearance > Themes" panel, but I got the following error: "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini". How can I fix it?

This error is caused by a too low memory limit set on your web server. To fix it, please contact your web host provider with the request to increase the memory limit for uploading files. Or, you can install your theme through FTP.

Once again, thank you so much for choosing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. Best regards and have fun with HappenStance!
