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 Studio 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

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

2.4. Categories

You can choose to display all blogposts on the homepage, or only the posts that are in the "Portfolio" category.

If you have installed the demo content you should already have a category named portfolio. If you have a fresh install you can create the category by going to "Posts > Categories" and fill in the form like shown on the screenshot.

*Optional
If you want to have your homepage to only display the portfolio posts, go to "Appearance > Customize" and in the layout section change the setting "Show Portfolio or all (Blog) posts?" to "Portfolio"

The homepage will now only show the posts that are in the "Portfolio" category.
