Adding Navigation Links

We have already done this for you, but you should be familiar with how it works for future updates...

  1. Go to Appearance > Menus and add two new menus, one for the header navigation and one for the footer navigation by clicking the addition button on the right.
  2. On the left select which navigation menu you want in "Header Navigation" area and "Footer Navigation" area - you could use the same navigation menu for both areas if you want.
  3. On the left you can select which pages, categories and custom links you want to add to each navigation menu.
  4. Once you have added your navigation links you can drag them up or down in the order you want them to display.
  5. To add drop down links drag your child link underneath the parent link until the child link looks indented to indicate it is now a drop down link.
  6. Once you are done always remember to click the "Save Menu" button.

Using The Main Slider

  1. Create or edit an existing post/page and check the "Main Slider" option from the "Additional Options" panel.
  2. To display an image for your post/page in the slider click on the "Add An Image" button.

  3. Now click the "From Computer" tab and upload your image(s).
  4. Once the image(s) have been uploaded choose which one you want to display in the slider by clicking the "Use as thumbnail" / "Use as featured image" link and then close the upload window.

  5. Now save your post/page.

Using The Carousel Slider

  1. Create or edit an existing post/page and check the "Carousel" option from the "Additional Options" panel.

  4. Once the image(s) have been uploaded choose which one you want to display in the slider by clicking the "Use as thumbnail" / "Use as featured image" link and then close the upload window.

  5. Choose whether the image in the carousel links to the image itself or the post from the "Carousel Links To" drop down menu in the "Additional Options" panel.
  6. If you want an image to link to a video, when uploading an image to a post/page, add the video URL to the "Description" box in the image upload window, using one of the following formats:
