Suggested logo size is 300 x 99 (in pixels). Image size is flexible so you can try different image size. Theme is using Header images only for logo, not header images. Of course you can remove default logo and Blog name will be displayed.</p> <p><strong>Set background</strong></p> <p>Set background under Appearance »» Background.</p> <p><strong>Change default layout</strong></p> <p> Path theme has two column layout by default, content on the left and sidebar on the right.

Check it out under <strong>Appearance »» Customize</strong>. It's pretty cool.</p> <h2>Page Templates</h2> <p>There are several page templates in this theme. They are located in <code>page-templates</code> folder. If you need to overwrite page templates in a child theme, create subfolder <code>page-templates</code> in child theme and copy certain page template in that folder and start modifying.</p> <ul> <li>Archives (archives.php): this page template automatically work with <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-archives-reloaded/" title="Smart Archives Reloaded ">Smart Archives Reloaded</a> Plugin. If it's not active, you're still covered with some basic archive stuff.</li> <li>Authors (authors.php): displays all the authors who have capability to publish or edit posts or pages.</li> <li>Most Popular (most-popular.php): displays most read articles in all time.</li> <li>Most Popular by comment (most-popular-by-comments.php): displays most commented articles in all time.</li> <li>Most Popular by month (most-popular-by-month.php): displays most read articles in current month and year.</li> <li>Most Popular by year (most-popular-by-year.php): displays most read articles in current year.</li> <li>Most Popular last 30 days (most-popular-last-30-days-php): displays most read articles in last 30 days.</li> <li>Slider (path-slider.php): Displays Sticky Posts in a slider and some more articles after that. So remember to <strong>use some Sticky Posts to see slider</strong> activated. Theme is using FlexSlider.</li> <li>Tag Cloud (tag-cloud.php): Displays Tag Cloud.</li> </ul> <h2>Slider</h2> <p>Path uses <a href="https://github.com/woothemes/FlexSlider/" title="FlexSlider">FlexSlider</a> in <em>Slider</em> page template and in home page. Only sticky posts are shown in Slider, so if you want to see it in action you need to use some sticky posts. Recommended image size is 660 x 300 (in pixels). It's safe to use WordPress featured image as slider image but it's not necessary if you have attached images in posts. It graps the first one automatically. <code>get_the_image</code> extension is used to do all the magic.</p> <h2>Action Hooks reference</h2> <p> With action hooks you can add your custom code in a certain points in the theme. If you open <code>header.php</code> for example you'll see this line of code: </p> <pre><code><?php do_atomic( 'open_body' ); // path_open_body ?></code></pre> <p> It means that you can add your code in that spot without modifying <code>header.php</code> file. You do it using child theme <code>functions.php</code>. Add this inside setup function. </p> <pre><code>add_action( "{$prefix}_open_body", 'my_open_body_code' );</code></pre> <p>And this after setup function.</p> <pre><code> function my_open_body_code() { echo 'My code'; } </code></pre> <p>Here are all the hooks used in Path theme.</p> <ul> <li><strong>header.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_open_body</li> <li>path_before_header</li> <li>path_open_header</li> <li>path_header</li> <li>path_close_header</li> <li>path_after_header</li> <li>path_before_main</li> <li>path_open_main</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>menu-primary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_menu_primary</li> <li>path_open_menu_primary</li> <li>path_close_menu_primary</li> <li>path_after_menu_primary</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>menu-primary-mobile.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_menu_primary_mobile</li> <li>path_open_menu_primary_mobile</li> <li>path_close_menu_primary_mobile</li> <li>path_after_menu_primary_mobile</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>menu-secondary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_menu_secondary</li> <li>path_open_menu_secondary</li> <li>path_close_menu_secondary</li> <li>path_after_menu_secondary</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>menu-secondary-mobile.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_menu_secondary_mobile</li> <li>path_open_menu_secondary_mobile</li> <li>path_close_menu_secondary_mobile</li> <li>path_after_menu_secondary_mobile</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>sidebar-before-content.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_sidebar_before_content</li> <li>path_open_sidebar_before_content</li> <li>path_close_sidebar_before_content</li> <li>path_after_sidebar_before_content</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>404.php</strong>, <strong>attachment-image.php</strong>, <strong>content-*.php</strong>, <strong>index.php</strong>, <strong>search.php</strong>, <strong>taxonomy-post_format-video.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_content</li> <li>path_open_content</li> <li>path_before_entry (not in 404.php)</li> <li>path_open_entry (not in 404.php)</li> <li>path_close_entry(not in 404.php)</li> <li>path_after_entry(not in 404.php)</li> <li>path_after_singular (not in 404.php, search.php and taxonomy-post_format-video.php)</li> <li>path_close_content</li> <li>path_after_content</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>comment.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_comment</li> <li>path_open_comment</li> <li>path_close_comment</li> <li>path_after_comment</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>comments.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_comment_list</li> <li>path_after_comment_list</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>sidebar-primary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_sidebar_primary</li> <li>path_open_sidebar_primary</li> <li>path_close_sidebar_primary</li> <li>path_after_sidebar_primary</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>sidebar-secondary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_sidebar_secondary</li> <li>path_open_sidebar_secondary</li> <li>path_close_sidebar_secondary</li> <li>path_after_sidebar_secondary</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>sidebar-after-singular.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_sidebar_after_singular</li> <li>path_open_sidebar_after_singular</li> <li>path_close_sidebar_after_singular</li> <li>path_after_sidebar_after_singular</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>footer.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_close_main</li> <li>path_after_main</li> <li>path_before_footer</li> <li>path_open_footer</li> <li>path_footer</li> <li>path_close_footer</li> <li>path_after_footer</li> <li>path_close_body</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>sidebar-subsidiary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_sidebar_subsidiary</li> <li>path_open_sidebar_subsidiary</li> <li>path_close_sidebar_subsidiary</li> <li>path_after_sidebar_subsidiary</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>menu-subsidiary.php</strong> <ul> <li>path_before_menu_subsidiary</li> <li>path_open_menu_subsidiary</li> <li>path_close_menu_subsidiary</li> <li>path_after_menu_subsidiary</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2>Theme support</h2> <p>Support for the <em>Path</em> theme is not offered on the WordPress support forums.
