Hello all

I've purchased a Wordpress template but now have a headache after countless hours trying to make it work properly. As a disclaimer this is my first wordpress site and have only basic HTML knowledge.

I presumed that I could just install the theme and could edit the photos and text to my liking. However when I installed it there was basically only the header and nothing else on the page.

I'm almost embaressed to say but I can't even figure out how to edit the Header! Under the theme tab it only has the options of customizing "widgets" and "menu", there is no header option like there is with the default theme.

Is this a problem with the files from the theme or is this just completely over my head?

And help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    It's very difficult to advise on anything without either knowing the theme, or a link to the actual site but . . .

    The header may simply be the "Site Title" - which you can alter/edit from Settings -> General -> Site Title. You should be able to tell straight away if whatever is presently there is what appears on your site?

    If this is not it, then perhaps your header is an image - in which case you may have to edit the actual image.

    Let us know how you get on . .

    Just having a quick look at the "blurb" on that theme - you should have some sort of "Admin Panel" for it (it will possibly be a separate menu on your dashboard) - it says there are 75 options!!

    Sorry I don't know the theme - but I am sure when you find the Admin Panel - you will hopefully be able to sort quite a few things out . . . .

    You should also have some documentation - but here is a link . . .

    You are very welcome, Joe

    I see you are progressing - you have only been on it for an hour remember! - it WILL take time - don't expect to get everything done instantly.

    Other than outsourcing (spending money rather than time) - there is no easy way!

    It looks a good theme and I am sure you will appreciate the time spent learning exactly how best to use it.

    All the best . . .
