Change The Footer Links

Of course, we appreciate anyone leaving credit to Organic Themes, but we understand the desire to change or remove the links. Follow the steps below to edit or remove the links.

Change Your Theme Favicon
Favicons are the small icons for your website that are typically displayed in your web browser. All Organic Themes contain a leaf favicon, or in the case of the Structure Theme, an “ST” icon. Favicons can be created using various image editing software, or you can generate a favicon from an image using a website such as this one. If you would like to change the favicon of your theme, follow these instructions:

Add A Featured Video
Featured Videos allow you to display a video in various locations throughout the theme such as the home page, featured slider or a category page. Video’s are added within the post editor by pasting the video embed code from a source such as Vimeo or YouTube in to the Featured Video field, located beneath the content editor.
Install A WordPress Theme
Installing an Organic Theme is a painless process. Follow the instructions in our tutorial to properly upload and install your WordPress theme. It should be noted that our themes are created for individual installations of the WordPress platform from wordpress.org, and are not compatible with the wordpress.com blog community.
Change The Logo Or Header Image
Navigate to Appearance > Header within the WordPress administration. Upload your desired logo or header image. You will then have the option to scale the image to fit the theme header. Note: The custom header/logo size varies per theme.
Setup A Custom Menu
Organic Themes supports WordPress Custom Menus. Custom Menus are used to manage the order of your menu items. In addition to managing your pages, the Custom Menu also allows for the addition of categories, custom links and custom post types to the main menu of your site.
Adding Widgets
WordPress offers a variety of default widgets such as Search, Recent Posts, Links, Calendar, etc. These widgets can be added to your Organic Themes sidebar and other “widgetized” sections of your theme. Various plugins can be installed within WordPress to provide additional widgets. Within the WordPress administration navigate to the Appearance > Widgets section. Drag and drop your desired widgets in to the sidebar or widgetized section of your choosing.
Adding Featured Images
All of Organic Themes use the WordPress Featured Image functionality to display thumbnails within our themes. We have provided instructions for adding Featured Images. Within the Post or Page Editor of the WordPress admin, scroll down to the “Featured Image” section in the right column. If for some reason it’s not visible, make sure you have “Featured Images” checked within your WordPress Screen Options.
