This legend explains the distribution of content and management for the Health and Beauty Theme version 3.0+, as seen in the demo. The Health and Beauty Theme requires the Options Framework plugin to manage theme options.

You can optionally display your Twitter feed here within the Appearance > Theme Options > Misc Options.
2. Contact Information
You can enter your phone number or email in this location within the Appearance > Theme Options > Misc Options.

Guys please help. I am no techie and run a sailing school in Greece. Yuo guys are half my age with double my brain no doubt but you probably can’t sail like I can even if you do live in Hawai. Each to his own! I have spent the last 5 hours trying to get the testimonials and sliders to show on my home page. I have followed your extremely limited instructions (perfectly good for competent designers I’m sure but by no means idiot proof as here is your idiot writing to you.) and no joy.

DONE – i have a special category with posts of the video embed code of you tube, also featured image added exactly as per your instructions
TESTIMONIALS – done – filled in my name as a test author and an excert test quote – published it but guess what
neither appear on the home page or any other bloody page.
this is maddening! Please help
Hi Simon,
It seems you have since got this issue resolved. The only reasons it would not be displaying is if you had not selected the areas to be displayed within the theme options, or if your WordPress Reading settings were set to display a static page instead of your latest posts.
Kudos on the sailing. It’s something that’s always interested me. Surfing will have to hold me over til then though
