#

#Install demo content

If you are new to WordPress and have problems with setting up the theme you might want to import the demo content file that comes with the theme. The following actions will import some dummy posts and pages from the live preview:

  • Go to Tools > Import

import

After completing all above steps, go to Posts, Pages, Products, Collections to see imported data.

Important: Due to license of images, we have to remove images in distributed demo content and replace them with placeholers. All images get from placehold.it, if you have any download errors when import demo-content.xml, problem can be speed of internet connection. Don’t worry about that, you can replace with your own images.

#Install demo products

homepage

#Setup Menu

Although the theme is working now and it shows menu, but because we haven’t created a menu for primary location, the theme will display all pages by default. As the number of pages is large, displaying all of them in the menu is a bad idea.

#Create or edit a menu

Following these steps to create a menu:

  • Go to Appearance > Menus
  • Select an existing to edit, or click create a new menu. Note: when you import theme data, WordPress automatically create a 3 menus for you: (Menu Left, Menu Right, Main Menu), so select one of them if you want to have same menu as in live preview.
  • Select pages from the left meta box and click Add to Menu
  • On the right, feel free to drag and drop menu items to organize them
  • When you’re done moving menu items, check Main Menu for Theme locations at the bottom of the page
  • Click Save Menu

#Add Description And Icon To Menu Item

Follow these steps to show description for one menu item as live demo:

  • Click on Screen Options tab at the top-right corner to open Screen Options panel.
  • Select 2 checkboxes CSS Classes and Description.
  • Click on Screen Options tab again to close options panel.
  • Now you click on the menu item that you want to add a description to, an options panel for this item will show.
  • Enter CSS class of icon in CSS Classes (optional) text field. You can find all icon classes in the FontAwesome reference page. For each icon, you have to enter fa icon_class (where icon_class is provided in FontAwesome reference page, e.g. fa fa-home) to make it work.
  • Enter a short description for that item in Description textarea
  • After add icons or descriptions or both to all menu items, click Save Menu button.

menu screen options

Note that the menu icon and description are **optional**. You can use them to decorate your menus or leave them empty to use the default clean look.

#Menu Locations

Glamo have 5 locations for Menu by default:

  • Primary Menu Left and Primary Menu Right are used as default locations. They are used to display your menus when you set Logo Position center in Theme Options page (we’ll talk about this later in Theme Options section).
  • Primary Menu will be used when you set Logo Position left or right in Theme Options page.
  • Secondary Menu is an additional menu that displays right bellow the logo. By default, there are no menus in this location.
  • Footer Menu is used to display a small menu on the footer.

Beside displaying menus on other locations, you can display them inside widget areas which we are going to talk about in next section.

You can create many styles of menu by combining menu and logo locations, these are some examples:

  • Logo center + Primary Menu Left + Primary Menu Right

logo center primary menu left right

  • Logo left + Primary Menu

logo center primary menu left right

  • Logo center + Secondary Menu

logo center primary menu left right

#Setup widget areas

Glamo theme has 8 widget areas (sidebars) by default:

  • Topbar Sidebar Left and Topbar Sidebar Right: they are created to display small widgets in topbar of the website.
**NOTE**: On mobiles and tablets, all widgets in Topbar Sidebars will be hidden, but [Glamo] Mini Cart.
  • Header Sidebar: will display widgets in the header only when set Logo Position left or right and no menu is set for Primary Menu location.
  • Blog Sidebar: main website sidebar which will be displayed on all blog posts, archive pages, etc.
  • Page Sidebar: will be displayed on all WordPress pages.
  • Shop Sidebar: will be displayed on all WooCommerce pages: Products, Product category, Single Product, etc.
  • Home Sidebar: will be displayed on Homepage template (we’ll talk about this template later in Page Templates section).
  • Footer Sidebars: there are 4 default sidebars for footer, each sidebar is a column in the footer. You can change number of columns in footer in Theme Options page (in that case number of footer sidebars will increased or decreased acccordingly).

To set up a sidebar, select it from the right by clicking its title or the arrow down. Then drag and drop widgets from the left to the sidebar area.

That’s all! Now you have the website up with all basic elements!

#Theme Options

theme options

The Glamo theme comes with unique, creative and easy-to-use Theme Options page. You can change all theme options in one place!

With Glamo’s advanced theme options panel, you can customize just about any part of your site quickly and easily. Every element on the site can have the color changed to your liking.

All options have a full description so you can know what you are doing. Just click and save!

Let’s go through each section.

#General

general

This sections contains:

  • (1): favicon upload, allows you to upload favicon for you website
  • (2): touch icon, allows you to upload icon for mobile devices and tablets
  • (3): load Bootstrap from CDN. Bootstrap is a part of Glamo theme and loaded within theme’s stylesheet, but you can load it from CDN to save the bandwidth and improve performance.
  • (4): load FontAwesome Icons from CDN. FontAwesome is a part of Glamo theme and loaded within theme’s stylesheet, but you can load it from CDN to save the bandwidth and improve performance.
  • (5): show comments on pages, allows you to show/hide comments and comment form on pages.
  • (6): enable or disable breadcrumb.
  • (7): when breadcrumb is enabled, this option will appear and let you choose which pages breadcrumb will be displayed.
  • (8): backup – restore, allows you to backup Glamo options and restore them later, or transfer the saved options between different installs.

Here are the explanations of some options that can help you understand and use them better:

#Favicon Upload

Favicon (short for Favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, Web site icon, tab icon or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons, most commonly 16×16 pixels, associated with a particular Web site or Web page. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address bar (sometimes in the history as well) and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page’s favicon next to the page’s title on the tab, and site-specific browsers use the favicon as a desktop icon.

This is how favicon appears:

favicon

Glamo lets you upload favicon or enter favicon URL in the input box:

  • If you have a favicon uploaded, or you store the favicon somewhere out of the Media Library, you can just put the URL of the favicon into the input box, or
  • If you want to upload favicon for your website, click the upload button (the green one near input box) and upload it to Media Library as a normal image, then click Select.
The favicon should be in one of the following formats: `.ico`, `.png`, `.gif`. Usually, we should use `.ico`.

When you’re done, you can click Save Changes button to save your data.

#Touch Icon

Touch icons are the favicons of mobile devices and tablets. Each mobile devices and tablets has its own standards for displaying the touch icon (read this article to have a better understanding about touch icon and supported devices) and requires various icon sizes. But for best compatibility and simplicity, an image with size 152×152 is enough.

To specify a touch icon for your website, just do the same as for favicon: you can either put the URL of the touch icon into the input box or upload the icon to Media Library.

The icon must be a PNG image

When you’re done, you can click Save Changes button to save your data.

#Show comments on pages

This option allows you to show/hide comments and comment form on pages. By default, Glamo doesn’t display comments and comment form on pages.

Important: In case this option is set to ON, to display comments on pages, you still have to allow comments for pages when you edit pages.

allow comments

By default, this checkbox is checked (meaning comments are allowed on pages). But in case you want to show comments on all pages, except some specific pages, you can use this checkbox to hide comments for those pages only.

#Backup – Restore

Glamo allows you to backup theme options and restores them later. You can also transfer the saved options data between different installs.

To backup theme options, just copy the text inside the text box and save it into a file on your computer. To import data, replace the data in the text box with the one from the saved file and click Import Options button.

After clicking Import Options, Glamo will automatically setup all options and refresh the current theme options page, so you can see the options immediately.

#Design

This sections contains:

  • Color Scheme: allows you to change color scheme of whole website
  • Layout: allows you to change layout style and layout for whole website, for blog posts and pages
  • Typography: allows you to change font family, styles, size, line height, color for body text and headings
  • Custom CSS: allows you to add your custom CSS

#Color Scheme

Glamo theme has 5 predefined color schemes to choose from: blue, red, green, violet and orange. When you change color scheme of the theme, all links, button background and other elements will change their color or background accordingly.

The default color scheme is red, but you can select any from 5 colors here. After selecting, click Save Changes button to save your data. Now go to the frontend and check the colors of links, buttons, etc.

When you select Color Scheme section, you’ll see the following options:

color schemes

(1): select built-in color scheme. These are 5 predefined color schemes. When you select one of them, your website elements will change color accordingly.

(2): enable/disable custom color scheme. This option allows you create custom color scheme, and you can build unlimited color schemes here! Just enable this and you’ll see options below.

(3): primary color. This is primary color for your custom color scheme, used for links, overlay, button background on hover, badges, etc.

(4): secondary color. This is the color used in button background, tag, etc.

(5): this is just some examples of using custom colors to built your own color scheme. These are real example which are used to build 5 predefined color schemes. You should start with these values and adjust them.

#Layout

This section helps you to select which layout will be used in the whole website.

layout

(1): site layout for blog, single posts and other archive pages. You can select sidebar position here: left, right or none (don’t display sidebar).

(2): sidebar layout for pages. Same meaning as for blog above.

These options is site-wide, meaning for whole website. But you still can set **custom layout for single page when edit** (We’ll explore it later).

(3): sidebar layout for WooCommerce pages. Same meaning as for blog above but only applied for WooCommerce pages: shop page, single products, product tag archive, product category archive.

#Typography

typography

This section helps you to customize fonts for body text and headings on your website. For each element, you can customize:

(1): font family. Just select from the drop-down font family you like. Glamo supports 3 normal fonts (Arial, Verdana and Times) and 2 Google Fonts (Audiowide and Roboto).

(2): font size. Adjust font size for better look here. Just remember the unit for font size is px.

(3): line height. Adjust line height for better look here. The unit for line height is also px.

For better readability, good value for line height is about 1.4-1.5 x font size.

(4): font styles. You can choose bold, italic, underline or any combination of them.

(5): font color. Click on the button, a color picker will appear and you can now select any color.

Important: before customizing fonts, remember the default values for fonts. You should customize fonts around these values.

Element Font Family Font Size Line Height Styles Color
Body Text Roboto 13px 20px None 3d3d3d
Heading 1 Audiowide 20px 20px None 414141
Heading 2 Audiowide 18px 20px None 414141

Heading 5 Audiowide 14px 20px None 414141
Heading 6 Audiowide 13px 20px None 414141

#Custom CSS

custom css

This section allows entering custom CSS that will be output in the </head>. This will overwrite CSS of theme, so please be careful!

Custom CSS is useful when you want to adjust small things for your website. If you have to adjust a lot of things in the website, please use Child Themes.

#Header

header

This sections contains:

(1): enable/disable topbar. By default, topbar is enabled.

(2): logo upload, allows you to upload the logo for your website. You can either put the URL of the logo into the input box or upload the logo to Media Library. The live preview of the logo will appear below the input.

(3): logo size. Specify logo size in px here. It will help you resize the logo to correct dimensions. By default, the good size is 180×180 (it is good if Center is set as logo position in the bellow option).

(4): logo margin. Specify logo margin in px here. This is useful when you upload logo with different size than recommended. You can move logo a little, adjust space to make it look good.

You should **resize the logo to correct size** in Photoshop or any image editor before upload. It will keep your logo not resized and small.

(5): Specify logo position. By default, logo position set as center.

**Note**: When logo position is not Center, Glamo will not use Primary Menu Left and Primary Menu Right locations to display menu, you need to place a menu to Primary Menu location if want to have menu displayed on header, or use Secondary Menu location instead.
**Tip**: Use this option with Topbar option and place Menus in locations, you can create 24 difference header styles. And with Color Scheme you are ready to build unique shops!

(6): header scripts. Enter scripts or code you would like output to &lt;head&gt;. It can be:

  • <link> tag for custom font (from Google Fonts maybe)
  • Any meta tag: to show the designer, copyright, etc. in meta tag
  • Google Analytics code
  • Any Javascript code that need to be execute in <head>
  • Anything else
If you want to put custom CSS here, you’re doing **wrong**. There’s a section for **Custom CSS** under **Design**, use it instead.

#Shop

shop options

This section contains only one option to set the default image for products. This image will be used for products which don’t have the thumbnail.

You can paste image URL here or upload the image to Media Library by clicking the upload button (green button).

#Blog

blog

This section helps you to change the display options for posts in blog page (and other archive pages). This section contains:

(1): what type of post content will be displayed. Available options are Post excerpt, Post content or Post content before more tag.

To understand what those values mean, take a look at the screenshot bellow:

post

Where:

  • (A): Whole post content, this is what you enter in the editor.
  • (B): Post excerpt, which is optional hand-crafted summaries of your content. Learn more about manual excerpt.. If you don’t enter anything in the excerpt box, WordPress will auto generate excerpt from post content by taking a number of words from the beginning of post content and removing all HTML tags from it.
  • (C): The post content before more tag
  • (D): The more tag

Return to blog option: if you choose

  • Post excerpt: Glamo will get post excerpt (B) and display it. Remember: if you don’t enter excerpts for post, WordPress will auto generate excerpt from post content by taking a number of words from the beginning of post content and removing all HTML tags from it.
  • Post content: Glamo will get whole post content (A) and display it. This is the default value.
  • Post content before more tag: Glamo will get only the post content before more tag (C) and display it.

(2): post content limit. Sometimes you enter a very long text for post excerpt or post content, display such long text in blog and archive pages is not good and harm your website beauty. So we need a way to truncate text to make it shorter. This option is created for that purpose.

Simply specify the number of words will be displayed here. Post content or excerpt will be truncated to an exact number of words. You should try changing this value and preview your blog to see what is best for you.

The default value is 55 words.

**Important**: this option affects only when you **NOT** choose `Post content before More tag` from the Display option above

(3): read more text. The default value is Continue reading.

Glamo supports building pages by using page builder plugins: Visual Composer and WR PageBuilder.

We use this plugin to build demo 2 Mobile. You can download sample data of Glamo Mobile demo here: http://docs.fitwp.com/glamo/demo-mobile.zip.

If you want to build the home page like Mobile demo, you should import demo-content-mobile.xml from demo-mobile.zip instead of demo-content.xml. After successful importing, you go to Pages, chose Homepage to edit. Remember to set that page as front page in Setting -> Reading.

We include an export of slider that we use in live demo Mobile in demo-mobile.zip a file, you can import it in Revolution Slider in admin area.

Although Glamo supports both WR Pagebuilder and Visual Composer plugins, but using them is NOT required. You still can use Glamo for a dedicated shop and it functions just well. But if you need more fancy pages or write beautiful blog posts, using page builder plugins is a good choice.

Here we will show you how to use WP PageBuilder which included in Glamo theme to build a page.

#Open page builder

open wr pagebuilder

When to add or edit pages, you will see 2 tabs Classic Editor and Page Builder right bellow page title, click to Page Builder open page builder screen add start adding content.

Note: Before adding elements to the page, you should know that WR PageBuilder organizes content in a grid using rows and columns. Each row can contain some columns and each column can contain some elements.

Now let’s see how to add rows, columns, and elements to page content.

#Add Row

WR pagebuilder add row

(1): Click the Add Row button to add new row.

  • Padding: edit padding of the row in px. By default, all values are set to 10px

#Using Visual Composer

Note: Visual Composer is not included in Glamo. To use Visual Composer, you have to purchase the plugin at CodeCanyon.

We use this plugin to build demo 3 Restaurant. You can download sample data of Glamo Restaurant demo here: http://docs.fitwp.com/glamo/demo-restaurant.zip.

If you want to build the home page like it, you should import demo-content-restaurant.xml instead of demo-content.xml. After successful importing, you go to Pages, chose Homepage to edit. Remember to set that page as front page in Setting -> Reading.

You can see the detail how to use Visual Composer in this very detailed documentation.

We include an export of slider that we use in live demo Restaurant in demo-restaurant.zip file, you can import it in Revolution Slider in admin area.

(3): featured image. It is optional options, you can set the featured image for current collection here. By default, it uses the first image from the gallery.

#Post Format

Post Formats is theme feature which is a piece of meta information that can be used by a theme to customize its presentation of a post.

In short, with a theme that supports Post Formats, a blogger can change how each post looks by choosing a Post Format from a radio-button list.

Glamo theme supports the following post formats:

  • gallery – A gallery of images, which will be displayed in a responsive image slider, powered by Flexslider.
  • link – A link to another site.
  • image – A single image, which will be shown above post title.
  • quote – A quotation.
  • video – A single video, which can be any video from Youtube, Video or other video websites. Support URL or embed code. The video will be displayed above post title.
  • audio – An audio file, which can be any video from Youtube, Video or other video websites. Support URL or embed code. The video will be displayed using a powerful HTML5 audio player provided by WordPress as default player.

Using post format in Glamo lets you differentiate post from each other and make the blog page / single page looks more beautiful.
