About

Note! Eino only works WordPress 3.6 or later.

This theme is a parent theme. All modification should be made via a child theme.

Features

Eino is built on Hybrid Core framework. There is a brilliant minded man called Justin Tadlock who has created it. So remember to check out all the Hybrid Themes.

Child themes

Eino is a parent theme, so use a child theme for any customizations. You can also download blank child theme in theme page. If you want do it yourself, here is how to get started.

  • Create a theme folder in your /wp-content/themes directory called eino-child.
  • After that create a style.css file in /wp-content/themes/eino-child folder.
  • At the top of your style.css file, add the below information.
/**
 * Theme Name: Eino Child
 * Theme URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
 * Description: Describe your child theme.
 * Version: 0.1
 * Author: Your Name
 * Author URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
 * Tags: Some, Tags
 * Template: eino
 */

There is no reason to import parent theme styles, because they are loaded automatically. Note! If you compress your style.css and copy your styles to a file called style.min.css, it will be used automatically.

Using child theme is officially-supported way of modifying themes in WordPress.

If you want to use Front Page template as a front page for your site instead of the standard blog post view, follow these instructions.

Creating the front page

  • When creating this page, select “Front Page” from the “Template” drop-down inside of the “Attributes” meta box.
  • Click the “Publish” button.

Change site front page

  • Go to the “Settings »» Reading” screen in the admin to adjust the page shown on the front of the site.
  • Locate the section labeled “Front page displays”.
  • Select “A static page”.
  • In the “Front Page” drop-down, select the page you created earlier that has the “Front Page” template.
  • Click the “Save Changes” button.

Flexible subsidiary and front page widgets

You can use 1, 2, 3 or 4 widgets in subsidiary and front page widgets areas and the layout is still gonna look nice. The original idea having flexible and responsive widget areas is from Sukelius Theme.
