We’re excited to share the next big thing in a new era for Theme Blvd and our flexible new WordPress framework. The Arcadian is our new portfolio theme designed to look beyond the typical corporate mold and give you the ultimate in WordPress creativity.
Homepage Setup
Here is the quick step-by-step guide for how this theme’s demo homepage was setup from the WordPress admin panel. You can find much more information on the following steps in great detail by viewing the documentation that came in your theme’s download package. Keep in mind this is only a quick step-by-step for the theme demo’s homepage and you definitely do not have to setup your site in this way if you don’t want to.
- Install the theme under Appearance > Themes.
- Go to Settings > Reading > Frontpage Displays, and make sure you’ve selected “your latest posts”.
- Go to Appearance > Widget Areas and create a new custom widget area. For its location, select for it to be a “Floating Widget Area.”
- Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the “Search” widget to your new custom sidebar along with the “Theme Blvd Twitter Widget.”
- Go to the Builder page and create a new custom layout. Use “The Arcadian Homepage” as your layout’s starting point. Configure your element settings, including selecting the custom widget area you created in the second column of the Columns element. Then, save the layout.
- Go to Appearance > Theme Options > Content > Homepage, select to show a custom layout, and select the custom layout you’ve created.
