All right, so when the last video we went ahead and installed a new theme into our website here, I
went and grabbed this one.
But again, you can always go in and you purchase something, upload it, and it'll be very similar
to what we're doing here.
The other option is to choose one of the free ones, do the same thing as we do here.
This was the one that I chose, you can see, because this is a free one.
They've got this like powered by WordPress and Donovan down here for the most part, those are usually
kind of fixed into there until you either purchase it or basically just a way to give back and say if
you're going to use this for free, at least give me a link back to the original developer.
So it's kind of only fair.
So it's going to take a look at what the options are for Stylize in this blog a little bit more.
All right.
Some of the back into my website, Monder appearance and then theme's again, this is the part that's
going to a little bit different if you purchase a theme.
A lot of times there may be a new little block over here, new link on the left hand side with the name
of that theme.
That's going to give a ton of custom controls over it.
That's what you get when you get a custom theme.
They are very detailed.
You can just detail it out to the very smallest level of fonts, font sizes where things appear, things
like that.
But these are a little bit more basic, these free ones.
But they're totally fine for what you do most of the time.
But anyway, an appearance here, you can see that there is a customized option that says click on that
nine times out of ten.
This is we're going to go to customize your theme.
And again, each themes can be a little bit different than what it lets you do.
So let's go ahead and just kind of jump into some of these basic options here.
So let's say identity looks like I can upload a logo if I wanted to.
Instead of the text going on up here.
I can then also change some of the stuff that was done in our settings that we already looked at.
So that's not a big deal.
I'll leave that the way it is.
Header image.
Looks like I could add a photo.
So just see what this one looks like.
I can select that, I'm sure.
And what's nice is you got this whole live preview area here.
This is not live on your website.
This is just showing what's going to happen as you add something into here.
So I can see, OK, this is what it's calling the header.
I don't like that.
Maybe I want to find a different photo that fit better in there if I wanted to do something.
But I don't.
So I'm not too worried about the header.
You can see as soon as I delete that, it goes away.
I got a background here.
I can change my background color.
Something like this red here can make that red or I can tweak out.
All right, cool.
Whatever I choose that for right now.
And again, if I go back to my website, this is the website and I hit refresh.
Nothing's going on.
This is all just previewing it right now with just the template stuff I have tweaked in the back end
here.
I can also edit some stuff that's really in our settings area.
So I'm not going to worry too much about like menus and widgets and things like that.
We can talk about menus here in a minute, but home page settings, again, same stuff that we saw in
our settings area.
It just gives you like a one stop shop area where you can edit all these things in one place.
And if I was a little bit of a developer or I kind of had some basic things that I wanted to be the
change, I could go into this custom access area and I could start to fine tune these things, maybe
change the font size of the font itself or a little color, things like that, that maybe I'm not seeing
in the game itself to be able to customize.
But don't worry about that.
If you're not a developer, you don't know success.
Don't even worry about this part.
Just know that it's there.
If you do.
I do.
See, there's one last place.
It's a theme option.
So let's take a look in there.
So we've got layout settings right now.
This is such a wide layout, which means it's going to stretch the full with the browser with pragma
offer a box layout, which is going to kind of center everything.
So maybe we could throw like a background photo back there if I wanted to.
So it's going to say the sidebar here is a little widget area on the right.
Where is the default sidebar position, left or right?
Kind of like over here on the right.
So I'll keep it there.
Centered layout also just kind of does the same thing as box, but pushes it to the top.
I keep Wilayat for now blog settings again.
I kind of customize how the blogs are going to look post settings, the actual post itself, what's
being displayed here, display data.
I can take that off right there.
You can see that disappear too, since I did that, or take off the author and leave the date.
Totally tweak this one.
However, you want to add some more features.
Looks like you can get the pro version where you can purchase that and you can get additional things.
Some do come with plug ins that it wants you to install.
Some are mandatory, some are recommended.
So maybe take a look at that.
Each themes can be a little bit different.
But now that there are some really cool things you can do within each of the themes, you just have
to take a look at each one because each one is going to work a little bit differently.
