General Documentation

Logo Customization

To use your own logo image, you’ll need to name your file logo.png and upload it to the style you have selected in the Orion Theme Options > Appearance. So if you selected style3, then you need to upload your logo to wp-content/themes/orion/images/style3/logo.png

Set your logo height and width in the Logo Options under Orion Theme Options -> Appearance Tab (screenshot). As noted, you may want to add extra pixels to the height in order to space your logo evenly in the header.

You can also change the header background by replacing header_bg.png located at wp-content/themes/orion/images/*style3/header_bg.png.

It is strongly recommended to use a 32-bit transparent PNG file so the logo blends seamlessly with the background.

Slider Information

Orion supports “Featured Sliders” and “Content Sliders”.
The Featured Slider appears at the top of the page (before the content) while the Content Slider appears within the actual content.

Before you can insert a slider, you must create at least one ‘slideshow’. For more information, see the first few steps of the “Creating Slideshows (Framework v.3)” help item.

To enable the Featured Slider, you must add a widget to the “Featured” widget position.
Go to Appearance → Widgets, and drag the “Featured Slider” widget to the “Featured” widget location and set the widget’s settings to your preferences.
