= FAQ =

Q: How do you set featured posts?
A: Use sticky posts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Sticky_Posts or use the Jetpack plugin along with its Featured Content module: http://jetpack.me/support/featured-content/

Q: How do you get the four featured posts in columns horizontally?
A: Featured posts is set to do that automatically. If you see your featured posts vertically, it's probably because your screen is fairly narrow, and since Expound is responsive, it adapts to fit the content.

Q: Can I remove the sidebar?
A: Yes. You can create a new page and pick the full-width page template. Or if you prefer to remove the sidebar from all pages, simply remove all widgets from the sidebar in Appearance - Widgets.

Q: Can I use Expound with WordPress.com?
A: Yes, Expound is available for WordPress.com users. More information: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/expound

Q: The header image does not resize, but crops instead.
A: That's true. The header image in Expound is designed to be used as a background image which crops, just like the Twenty Thirteen theme. If you'd like to add your company logo, don't use the header image functionality. Instead, use some custom CSS to add your logo to the site title.

Q: How do you add social buttons to the navigation menu?
A: Easy. Go to Appearance - Menus. Create a new menu, add your social profiles links to the new menu, then assign the menu to the "Social" location. Expound will figure out which icon to show based on the URL.
