Setting the Theme Options

In order for the theme to work correctly, you’ll need to create 2 new post categories: “Feature” and “Blog”
Once these categories are created, please go to the “Design -> Portfolio Theme Options” section and select the categories you just created. Match up the category you created with label on the option.

Uploading a New Header Logo

We’ve included a function to allow you to upload, resize, crop, and save a custom image, and use it as your header. In order to use this feature, log into your dashboard, go to the “Design -> Custom Image Header” menu. Click “Browse” and choose the image you would like to upload and use. If this image is outside the 900×130px dimensions, you will be asked to crop or resize the image using the image resize/crop
tool. Once you have the image resized or cropped to your liking, click “Crop Header”.

If you would like to revert back to the default image, just go back to the “Design -> Custom Image Header” menu and click “Restore Original Header”.
