1.1 Few words about Pena

This theme has been inspired by "Living on One" documentary we watched one night. We were deeply touched and wanted to somehow contribute to the whole project. As theme developers we decided to develop a WordPress theme to help spread the word about it. This is a really special project for us and we built the demo site for the theme using real content that we hope will raise the awareness about the problems in Peña Blanca and spread the word about this great documentary.

Pena Lite can easily be used for variety of purposes, but it is built with non-profit sites in mind. Theme features modern, clean and mobile friendly responsive design that in the last year or two became crucial for a good SEO.

 

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 different colors, 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 "pena-lite" 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 "pena-lite.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 Pena Theme as an active theme:
