Thanks for purchasing zine. We're glad you took the time to poke around and find this document. In this file we will go over a few simple steps for setting up zine on your site.

Step One - Install the theme

Upload the contents of the zip file to your /wp-content/themes/ directory. Once the files are uploaded, you can click the Change Theme button from the Dashboard or expand the Appearance section in the sidebar and click on Themes. Then click Activate underneath the zine image and description.

It will look like this.

Step Two - Pick your options

Once the theme is installed, you can click over to Museum zine Options. This page allows you to add customization options to style your site. Some items (like design elements) are required. Some items (like social networking links) are not. The required options are marked with select one under the section heading (design, background, and sidebar sections, specifically).

If you don't like the default fonts in the skin you selected, you can customize what fonts are used in the Advanced Font Overrides section by checking the box that applies to the override you want to use. You can also increase the font size of the body content by selecting the appropriate option from the Font Size dropdown menu.

With zine, you can set up ads in the sidebar. zine comes with 4 default sidebar ad graphics which you could link to an Advertise With Us page. Those graphics are located in the theme images folder (use http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/AP-Museum_zine/images/ in the URL box) and are named 260square.jpg, 260square.png, 125square.jpg and 125square.png.

If you would like to use one of the included ad blocks, you would enter the full URL to the image (i.e. http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/AP-Museum_zine/images/260square.jpg) and enter the URL for the page you would like to link the ad to (i.e. an Advertise or Contact page). Otherwise, enter the URL to the image you want to link and the URL path you are linking (i.e. an affiliate link). You can use some, none or all of the slots that have been integrated into the theme.

After you've made your selections, click the Save Changes button. If you want to start over, you can click the Reset button.

Step Three - Customize your menus

zine supports customized menus. By default, all of your pages will display in the header under the tagline. If you would like to customize the links that appear or the order that they appear in, you can do so by clicking the Menus link under Appearance (WordPress 3.0 and higher). At this time, zine does not support dropdown menus, so if you have multi-level menus, you will need to make them top-level only (no submenus). When you create your first menu, you will need to name it Header for the customized menu to show up on the site.

Step Four - Finishing up

That's it!

At this point you can start using your new theme. By purchasing a Museum Theme from Arcane Palette, you can receive support via our Support Forum or report any bugs on our bug tracking system. Feel free to use the support forum any time you have any questions.

** 10-07-2010 **
Version 1.1.1
==============

  • see my post on museum themes about that last 1.1.05 update...
  • changed the way the comment count appears on papermill to prevent broken alignment issues on child themes that use a featured post area (say that ten times fast)

as far as I know, papermill is really the only one that would be affected, but similar styling to what i did in papermill could be applied to other child themes. (make the surrounding div position:relative, and the comment count box position:absolute -- the absolutely positioned div will be positioned in relation to the parent, relative div)

Version 1.1.05
===============
-extremely minor revision-

Version 1.1
===============
--Major revision--

  • removed bit.ly
  • pulled out dynamic content gallery -- commented out, actually. if DCG is installed but not set up or there's a javascript conflict it dies
  • added styling for nested comments
  • created options.php to handle all the user-controlled options rather than putting all that stuff in the header.php
