Audrey - Post-Installation Guide

This article is for customers who have purchased theme installation for the Audrey 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 - Image + Intro Text

Go to Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 1. The image can be changed in the Image widget; text can be changed in the Custom HTML widget.

If you requested an alternate Front Page 1 layout option, see below:

  • Image slider: To edit the images in the slider, go to the Meta Slider tab in your dashboard. To edit the overlay text, go to Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 1 > Custom HTML widget.
  • Post slider or 3 featured posts: Posts and images displayed in the slider/featured section will be pulled from your most recent blog posts. Be sure that you have a featured image set for each post.
  • 3 featured pages: These widgets can be edited at Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 1 > Genesis Featured Page Advanced widgets. Click here for instructions on swapping out the images in these widgets.

Homepage - Choose Your Own Adventure Boxes

Go to Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 2. Each box has its own Custom HTML widget that you can edit with your own text and page link.

If you'd like to change the icons, you'll find the instructions here under Front Page 2.

Homepage - About Section

Go to Appearance > Widgets > Front Page 3. The image can be changed in the  Image widget; text can be changed in the Custom HTML widget.

Homepage - Get to Know Us

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, or if you want to add text, etc), go to Appearance > Widgets > Instagram Landing Page.

Complete instructions for the Instagram landing page can be found here.

Coming Soon Page

On your installation form, you were given the option to have a coming soon page installed on your site. To remove the coming soon page and launch your site, go to your WordPress dashboard > CMP Settings. Under CMP Status, select "Disabled." Save changes. Next, go to Plugins > All Plugins and delete the "CMP - Coming Soon Page & Maintenance" plugin.
