Customize Your Site
Recommend Themes
Hueman
This is default theme your site is already set to use. This theme has a flexible Theme Options panel that let's you customize many components of the site including:
- page layout
- styling: background colors, font, etc.
- header logo
Additional themes
If you feel compelled to use a different theme than Heuman, the following themes will work well on mobile devices (they are responsive) and make good usage of navigation (Menus) and widgets so you can design a site where viewers can easily find and interact with your content.
- Baskerville (custom header image)
- Editor
- Hemingway (custom header image)
- Ignite
- Padhang
- Tracks (works best with featured images saved to posts)
- Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Sixteen
Additional themes may not have Theme Options but can be modified by Appearance > Customize
Sidebars (Widgets)
Sidebar content in WordPress is controlled via "Widgets". Often times if you don't anything to your side bar a default set of "widgets" will appear. You can change this by adding your own widgets.
- Widgets - add additional features to your sidebar
- Update the Instagram Gallery to display your Instagram hashed feed. See Terroir - Easy Instagram Plugin
