Morph WordPress Theme

First Steps

The first thing you need to do when you want to install a new WordPress theme is to login to your site admin page. Once there, go to Appearance -> Themes. Here, you will see all the themes you have currently installed in your application. To add another one, simply click on the Install Themes tab. Upload the zip file from your local hard drive.

If you want to use the theme with all available features (Custom post types,shortcodes,widgets,page builder...etc), you should upload and activate all the required plugins. After the installation of the theme, you will see a message about this. Click "Begin Installing Plugins", install the plugins and activate them.

You should upload & activate all required plugins before importing the demo content.

Go to Appearance->Import Demo Data and click on the Import button only once and wait, it can take a couple of minutes.

First of all, you should create a static page for your frontpage display.

After that, go to Settings->Reading and select in the drop-down box this page for the front page display.

To create a blog page, create another blank page (select default page template).

After that go to Settings->Reading and select in the drop-down box the name of the Page that will now contain your Posts. If you do not select a Page here, your Posts will only be accessible via other navigation features such as category, calendar, or archive links.

Default Template
"Default template" is a standard page template.
Page - Elementor
There isn't a sub header field and there isn't any additional spacing around the page content on this page template. It is useful if you want to create a page from scratch with Elementor (For example; homepage).
Page - Main Sidebar
There is a sidebar on this page template.

With WordPress Customizer, you can drastically change the appearance and functionality of your website from one, manageable interface. That includes making changes to page elements including your site title, theme settings, background image, colors, menus etc.

You can find all theme settings in Appearance->Customizer->Theme Settings.
