1. Unzip the file that you have downloaded, you will find a folder called "designpile".
2. To install the theme you should have already wordpress installed and running on your server. Using FTP, upload the "rockwell" theme folder to your web server, and place it in "/wp-contents/themes/". So what you'll have in the end is "wp-contents/themes/designpile/".
3. Now that you have the theme uploaded you just need to login to your WP admin panel and activate it "Appearance > Themes".
This theme uses 2 plugins, Simple Post Thumbnails and Wp125 which you can find in the downloaded .zip file, folder "plugins". You need to upload these folder's contents on your server to "wp-content/plugins/" and activate the plugins from the admin panel.
1. Simple Post Thumbnails ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-post-thumbnails/ ) - This plugin adds a widget to the posting screen that allows you to add a post thumbnail by uploading an image from your computer or via a URL. The thumbnail is scaled and cropped to the set size automatically.
2. Wp125, ads management plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp125/ ) - adds a easy to use WordPress management system for 125x125 ads. Once you have it installed and activated you can also disable that ads section at any time, from Theme Options Page. This will NOT delete your ads setup.
This themes comes with a custom options page ( Appearance > Webfolio Options) where you will find:
1. Choose a theme style - You have 3 different color styles, pink, green and blue..
2. Set up your site logo - You have enter the full path to an image logo and the image ALT text.
3. Enable/Disable Ads Section - It matters only with Wp125 plugin activated.
4. Number of latest posts on homepage - You can set the homepage to display custom posts by tagging them with "homepost". If no such tag is set, latest posts are displayed.
5. Contact Page Text and Form Email address Setting - You can set the text of the contact page template and, as the theme comes with a working Ajax contact form, you need to specify your address in order to get the messages on your email.
7. Social Networking - Enter your Facebook , Flickr and Twitter links.
8. Add Google Analytics code - Simply fill in the filed for Analytics code and save.
1. Featured Post - to feature a specific post you just need to add a tag called "featured" to that post. For the image of featured post you need to add a custom field called "featured_img" with the full path to the image as value. A maximum width of 628px is recommanded.
2. Homepage posts - To display certain posts on the homepage you just need to tag them with "homepost". If there is no such post, latest posts will be displayed. To set/limit the number see options page. For proper display we recommand to set thumbs for homepage posts.
When you create the Contact page, you will need to set the "Contact" template for it ( right side Attributes panel ), in order to have the contact page as in preview and have it Ajax functional.
For adding Lightbox behaviour to a link just add class="lightbox" to the link tag.
