It is, of course, translation ready and mobile friendly, so no worries your website will shine in the best light on all devices. Liber is built using standard WordPress features; posts, pages, child pages, widgets and customizer. No extra option panels to learn, no extra weight on your server. Just rock solid code and fast loading times and we all know uncle Google likes that .

 

1.2 Getting Started

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. For information regarding the installation of the WordPress platform, please see the WordPress Codex - http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

Theme uses basic, core WordPress options (pages,post,categories) to create site that is easy to use even for very beginners. There is no option panel with many settings in it, all available theme options are available from inside the WordPress "Theme Customizer" that allows site admins to tweak theme settings and see a preview of those changes in a real time. You'll be able to upload your logo or change the site title and tagline, change background color, upload background image, change header image and more.

 

1.3 Installation

When you are ready to install the theme, you first need to upload theme installation zip file and then activate the theme itself. The theme file can be uploaded in two ways:

  • FTP Upload: Using your FTP program, upload the non-ziped theme folder "liber" into the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server
  • WordPress Upload: Navigate to Appearance » Themes » Add New » Upload. Click browse, and select the ziped theme folder "liber.zip". Hit "install now" and the theme will be uploaded and installed.

Once the theme is uploaded, you need to activate it.

After activation, you should see Liber Theme as an active theme:

 

1.4 Plugins

After theme activation, you'll see a notification bar with required and recommended plugins. Please install and activate one required plugin Liber Custom Post Type Plugin.

All the rest plugins are recommended plugins and not required for the theme to work, you can decide on your own which one you need and install just that one.
