    Hi

    I have just started on WP and I’ve picked this theme – Parabola. Someone helped me make the first setting (hosting etc), and the problem for me is that he started off by setting a blog and not an ordinary website. I have now changed it to a static site, but I still don’t get the frontpage that I intended and originally introduced to me in your theme. Can you help me get a front picture on the front with the boxes below – or just explain if this is something I have to do with plugins?

    Can I in any way change the colours from orange to the colours in my design manual – or are we all orange 😉 So far I have only been able to find the background colours.

    How do I change the the appearance of pages – I would like some of them to be with a sidebar and some without. Right now they are installed with a sidebar, and I don’t seem to be able to change them?

    Sorry – maybe ordinary for you, but I have to get started 🙂

    Thank you 🙂

    Ps – and how do I change the SoMe icons – both colour and picture?

    Parabola implements a lot of options, all of which are available in the theme’s settings page under Appearance > Parabola Settings.

    If this is a fresh install you may need to install the companion settings plugin to enable the settings page (it’s all explained in there).

    You’ll be able to enable the theme’s presentation page (what we call the special homepage) from under the Presentation Page section in the settings, change the layout from under Layout (you can also use a layout template for pages you want to look different than the general site layout), change colours from under Colors.

    If by icons you’re referring to the social icons, their images are not changeable, but the background color is configurable (from the same theme options).

    Hi again,

    I have made my site work, but I’m wondering how to get my site to perform on Google? Do you have any special SEO plugin to help with that or anything already implemented in Parabola?

    Thank you,
    Ulla

    We don’t have a companion SEO plugin for the theme.

    Personally, I’ve gotten accustomed to and usually use Yoast’s SEO plugin, but there are a lot of SEO plugins out there are should work the same.
