Make sure you enroll in my intro to WordPress class first. It’s designed for beginners, starting from scratch and should resolve all of your confusion! Here’s your free access.

Please read this guide for how to unzip files.

Importing the demo content just imports the dummy content from the demo (sample pages, sample posts and sample images) into your dashboard and can be helpful if you are setting up a new site from scratch. But, you’ll still need to continue setting up your theme otherwise your site will be pretty bare!

You’ll still need to configure your settings and tell WordPress where you’d like what. I would recommend going through the tutorials if you haven’t already in order to select all of your desired settings.

You can display your whole post, or only a portion of each post with a link to continue reading.

To enable this:

1. Navigate to Appearance > Customize > Theme Settings > Content Archives

2. Under ‘select one of the following’ > select “Display entry excerpts” then,

3. Under ‘limit content to how many characters’ > type a number such as 200

Remember to check the box ‘display the featured image’ to display a photo on the blog page (And if no image displays on the blog page, check the blog post and make sure you have selected a featured image for each post)

4. Save!

The designs can be used as-is like the theme’s demo, which the theme’s tutorials show you how to recreate.

WordPress is very adaptable and anything can be accomplished. Kindly note, I am unable to provide support for any theme customizations, code or custom CSS – this would be a DIY endeavor.

If you would like to learn how to add additional features to your site, I recommend my course Womens Wicked WordPress.

The font sizes in your theme are determined by the font formatting in the theme’s code. But you can change some of the sizes without dipping into the themes files. You can choose the sizes of the Heading 1, Heading 2, all the way to Heading 6.

Alternatively, you can override the theme font sizes by adding custom CSS. Kindly note, I am unable to provide support for any theme customizations, code or custom CSS – this would be a DIY endeavor.

You can absolutely edit, customize or remove the footer copyright and credits. I’ve written a tutorial to show you how here.

The problem you describe is just the installation order. You didn’t unzip the file, to locate the correct file inside to upload. Please unzip the main file, and then locate your theme file inside.

If you receive failed to import errors, you can continue setting up your theme. These errors are only dummy content that didn’t import for various reasons, including they’ve already been imported or they are a setting for a plugin that isn’t installed. These WordPress import errors are not necessary to continue setting up your theme.

If you’re having trouble with the Instagram gallery try re-reading my steps in the theme tutorial to make sure you have the recommended settings and that your Instagram username is correct.

I recommend Light Widget or Smashballoon, but as third-party plugins, I can’t guarantee the most recent setup instructions. So always check out any plugin’s support for the most current updates.

The theme tutorials will guide you through how to recreate the demo.

It sounds like your header dimensions are way too big!

You may like to resize your logo/header image to the recommended dimensions your theme suggests and try uploading it again. To find out the recommended dimensions for your theme, please navigate to Appearance > Customize > Header Image

Your homepage is what displays when you navigate to your domain name eg. myblog.com

You can choose to display a page as your home page or your latest posts. These settings can be found by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Home Page Settings.

You have free access to my foundations course for new bloggers. This includes video walkthroughs of the WP dashboard which can be helpful if you’re just starting out.

If you’re having trouble setting up your theme, I recommend going through the tutorials first as everything is there!

And as another option, we do offer an Install Service in which I will personally set up your theme just like the demo.

If you are using WordPress as a blog, then you will end up using posts for the majority of your site’s content. Posts are blog post content entries listed on your home page or blog area of your website.

Whereas Pages are meant to be static “one-off” type content such as your about page, contact page, and terms, etc.

If you’ve followed the email opt-in tutorial with a service like Mailchimp when someone subscribes their email will go to your list. You can then manually create an email notification for your new post and send it to your list of subscribers.

I’ve written a tutorial about adding images to your blog posts.

First, when you publish any content in WordPress, it will publish those changes live, so anyone can view it online. So you could ‘launch’ after you set your theme up from the tutorials.

Launching to me means when you ready for visitors to come to your blog and hopefully become a fan, but it could mean something different for each person. It’s up to you in which order you like to do things.

1 – Find your niche + blog name
2 – Decide what content you will write about
3 – Select your theme + set up your site
4 – Launch! Tell the world about your blog – start blogging, socializing and growing your audience.

For lots of blogging tips and resources, I recommend reading the HerPaperRoute blog. where I share all sorts of blogging, marketing and money-making tips for bloggers.

Just as you back up your computer files with an external hard drive or cloud storage, it’s always a good idea backup of your website.There is a plugin called UpDraft Plus.
