Creating the Custom Homepage

To take full advantage of Snapblog, it is important to apply the custom homepage template. To do this, simply create a new page in WordPress called “Home.” Then apply the “Homepage” Page Template. Publish this post. Create a new page called “Blog” leaving the content area blank. Publish this post.

Next, visit the Settings > Reading screen, and where it shows “Front page displays:” Select “a static page.” For the Front Page select box, select the “Home” page. For the Posts Page select the “Blog Page.”

Setting up the Homepage

The only thing that needs to be done to set up the homepage is to make sure you have properly set up the theme options. Make sure you have created a category such as “Collections” with some child categories like “Personal” or “Nature.” Select the parent category as the Collection Category then two child categories for Featured Collection 1 and Featured Collection 2.

Shortcodes

Snapblog supports a variety of custom shortcodes.

Gallery

The gallery shortcode is perhaps the most important shortcode for the theme. The [gallery] shortcode mimics most of the functionality in the default gallery shortcode.

To use the gallery shortcode, you should upload multiple images using the Media Uploader.

Example Usage:

[gallery]

Attributes

  • order – The (optional) order of the uploaded gallery images. ASC|DESC
  • orderby – (optional) see orderby in the get_posts parameters
  • id – The (optional) parent post ID of the attached gallery.
  • include – The (optional) list of IDs of images to include.
  • exclude – The (optional) list of IDs of images to exclude.

Introduction

Easily set an introduction paragraph.

Example Usage:

[intro]]Lorem Ipsum...[[/intro]

Attributes

  • There are no attributes.

Image Credits

When adding a gallery, you can add a list of image credits in the custom meta box. These will show up in the Image Credits tab below the post.

[image-credit link="http://istockphoto.com" title="iStock Photo" desc="Give a Dog a Bone"]

Attributes

  • link – The (required) link the image originated from.
  • title – The (required) title of the site the image is from.
  • desc – The (optional) description of the image you used.
