Thanks for purchasing the Deliciously Simple WordPress Theme!

Quick links if you lost

  • Purchase the WordPress Theme here.
  • Theme overview, features and demo links here.
  • Documentation follows below:

NB! 5 things before you start!

1. ThemeCobra

We have named our theme company, ThemeCobra! So all documentation and links will refer to that name and support details. The ThemeCobra website is launching along with our third theme:)

2. Support

Please read through this whole page, if you’re still stuck at the end please feel free to drop us a mail on support@themecobra.com quoting your purchase code and we’ll reply as soon as possible.

3. Featured Images

This theme heavily utilizes 640px wide images, make sure your site is in maintenance mode while you setup your posts. Each post has a featured image at the top of page, above the post title. This same featured image is automatically resized for the thumbs in the archives. So once you’ve setup your theme options, you need to set a big featured image (640px wide) for every post in your site. There is a plugin that apparently sorts thing out if you have loads of posts, so see the FAQs at the bottom for more.

4. Browser Compatibility:

  • IE6 works, but it’s a bit shakey
  • All other browsers work and look sweet

5. Copyright

We can’t stop you from sending the theme to your mates, but sales will influence the rate we bring out more themes… and it’s only 9 bucks, so spare us a couple beers if you can.

Installation:

  1. Download the theme to your computer
  2. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard then go to Appearance > Themes in the left menu
  3. Click on the ‘Install Themes’ tab right at the top
  4. Now click the ‘Upload’ link near the top
  5. Select the download file “deliciouslysimple.zip” and press the “Install Now” button
  6. Once uploaded click “Activate” link
  7. Now go to Dashboard > Menu > Media and set the Large Image Size to 640px and save changes
  8. Go to Dashboard > Menu > Appearance > Options and go through it all and hit save. Your site should now look normal.
  9. Go to Dashboard > Menu > Appearance > Menus and create your own custom menu. Make sure you set the Top Menu to “Main Menu” and hit save:
  10. Now, the the only tedious part, you need to set a featured image for every post in your blog. Simply upload a new image, or take an existing image from each post with a minimum dimension of 640px wide, and hit “Use as featured image”:
    featured
  11. You’re all done!
