Quick start for WordPress Responsive Theme beginners!

MVM WP Responsive Theme Tips

Hello, this is Allan, I hope this post finds you well!

Once you have WordPress installed and have activated your "Responsive Theme" from ThemeID, what do you do next? Where do you start?

Here are some Responsive Theme Quick Start tips to get you up and running!

1. Log-In to your WP Dashboard and go to “Settings” then “General Settings”

Here is where you can verify your sites information such as your sites Title, Tagline, URL and Email address. Leave Member and New User as default for now and set your Time Zone and Date Formats. Make sure these are all correct and to your liking and save the changes if any.

2. Next click on the “Writing Settings” under Settings

These are usually good with the default settings for now unless you want to immediately start posting via email and updating posts services? Be sure to always save changes.

3. Next go to the “Reading Settings” under Settings

Here you change how your Front Page looks (either as a static page or blog page etc) and your Posts Settings (how many to display etc) and whether you want search engines to index your site or not. Be sure to always save changes.

4. Now go to the “Discussion Settings” under Settings

Leave everything as it is from default and add a checkmark next to “Before a comment appears”. You want to approve every comment posted to your site! Select “Gravatar Logo” at the bottom and save changes.

5. Next is the “Media Settings” under Settings

Leave everything as it is by default for now.

6. The last is the “Permalink Settings” under Settings

On the left select “Posts Name” under Common Settings and save changes.

7. Now go to the “Users” tab under Dashboard

To protect your site from hackers, change your user name from “admin” to something unique. Create your own username. Verify your email address and create a new password if you want. Experts recommend changing admin user name and creating a “strong” password at installation to help protect your website.

You can also assign new users and their settings here as well. Be careful not to allow everyone access to your site. Members should be screened and given only the authority you want them to have. Be sure to always save changes

Now you are ready to start enjoying the Responsive Theme and modifying its contents and templates. Check out my Blog on the
