1.2. Plugins

After you have installed the theme, you will see a notification that asks you to install and activate a couple of plugins that are required for the theme. If you don't already have these plugins installed, press "Begin installing plugins".

Congratulations, you have just installed the Oculus theme!

2.1. Demo content (Optional)

You can start with a fresh install, but if you need some content to test the theme, we have provided a demo file that creates a couple of posts and pages to get you started with the theme.

To install the demo content go to Tools > Import and choose “Wordpress”,
(if you don't have the importer installed, it will automatically install the Importer plugin.)

Next,  upload the file “demo.xml” that you can find in the demo folder and wordpress will insert the demo posts and page in your wordpress site.

2.1. Permalink structure

Click Settings > Permalinks. Under ‘Common Settings' and select ‘Post Name'

2.2. Number of posts

To change the maximum number of posts displayed in de slideshow go to "Settings > Reading" and change the setting "Blog pages show at most"

2.3. Menu

To set the menu's up go to "Appearance > Menu's" and click "create a new menu"

Once the menu has been created, set the "Theme location" on "primary location" and click on "Save menu"

Your menu is now saved, and you can add or remove new items to it!

2.4. Posts

When you make a new post, you can setup the background of the post by adding a Featured Image.

This image will be used as the full screen image in the slideshow, and as the post background.

3.1. Logo

The retina logo is used to make your logo look sharp and clean on tablets and devices that have retina displays

In the retina logo option you should upload a logo that is exactly twice as big as your original logo.
