Pippa - Post-Installation Guide
This article is for customers who have purchased theme installation for the Pippa theme.
We just installed your theme on your site – you may be wondering, now what? Below we'll go over the common questions we get post-installation, where you need to go to update things, and more. :)
Homepage - Post Slider
The image slider in the Pippa theme pulls images from your blog posts. To change the slider images, simply set new featured images for each of your recent posts.
By default, the slider on the homepage will display your most recent posts. If you would like to individually choose which posts display in the slider, click here for instructions.
Homepage - "Loving Lately" Shop Widget
To add your own affiliate shopping widget to this section, click here for instructions.
Homepage - "Browse By Topic" Buttons
To change the images in the Browse by Topic section, go to Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 4. Open the Genesis Featured Page widgets and you can select new images in the widget settings. If you aren't able to save the widget after uploading a new image, click here.
The "Browse by Topic" title can also be changed in Front Page 4 in the first widget.
Offscreen Side Menu
The widgets in the offscreen menu can be edited at Appearance > Widgets > Offscreen Menu. The two menus inside the offscreen menu (Explore and Categories) can be edited at Appearance > Menus.
Additional offscreen menu instructions can be found here.
Shop the Post widgets

Instagram Feed

Instagram landing page
The link to your Instagram landing page is your website URL + /instagram. Example: https://yourwebsite.com/instagram
The Instagram landing page is very easy to update and change as needed. To add/change/remove menu items, go to Appearance > Menu > Instagram Menu. To edit anything else on the page (i.e. the social icons), go to Appearance > Widgets > Instagram Landing Page.
Complete instructions for the Instagram landing page can be found here.
