Theme Option – Color Changer

To easily change the color scheme of the theme, simply log into your WordPress Admin Panel and activate the Chronicles theme.

After activation, click the “Chronicles” > “Chronicles Options” link. Use the pull down menu to select the color of your choice. The main colors that will change are the header menu, the footer menus and the panel headers on the right sidebar. Smaller less oblivious color changes will include link colors throughout the site.

Once selected, click the Save Color Changes button and that’s it.

The “default” color is light green as you see here.

Page Templates

In addition to the main index, page, single and other templates that are normally included with a WordPress theme, the Chronicles theme includes two additional templates for your website layout: a SITEMAP-TEMPLATE and a FULLPAGE-TEMPLATE.

To utilize the SITEMAP-TEMPLATE, create a blank page with a header title such as “Sitemap”. Next, simply choose the SITEMAP template from the “Template” selections under Attributes of your new page. There is no need to type any information for the new page content, the template has the appropriate code for the layout.

To utilize the FULLPAGE-TEMPLATE, create a new page just like you normally would except you would select the Full Page Template from the “Template” selections under Attributes section of your new page. In this case, you will want to type in all your page information and content. This template simply removes the sidebar and creates a full width page.
