WPElegance 2 Column WordPress Theme

WPElegance2Col is a free 2-column theme, with premium features. Like any of my other themes, WPElegance2Col is a neat, professional, elegant theme and highly customizable.. The Footers, Featured Posts section and Thumbnails can be easily disabled or enable through the Theme Options Page.

Thumbnails in Home and other archive pages are created using the first image uploaded for a post. Hence, make sure that you first upload the appropriate image for every post. But don’t worry, in case you uploaded the wrong image first.Simply delete all the uploaded images for a post and upload them in the right order.
There are also options to specify the URLs of thumbnail and Featured Image hosted on any other external platform or service, for every post, through a widget in wordpress Add New Post Panel (See picture below)!!!


WPElegance2Col is SEO-optimized, ad-ready, WordPress 2.7 compatible with widgetized sidebars and footer.

You can find these in the theme’s ReadMe.txt as well.
You can find the Theme Options Page under Appearance folder on your WordPress Admin Menu Bar. It will have the title “WPElegance2Col Options”.
Create a category by title “Featured”. Add every Post to an appropriate category and if you want to display it under Featured Posts Section,add it to “Featured” Category as well. Once it is done, all the latest Featured Posts will be displayed under “Featured” section in the Home Page.
In the Theme Options Page, you can set the number of Posts to be shown as Featured Posts. But decide on an optimal number (taking performance into consideration).
Go to Settings –> Media and set Max width for Medium size as 300. Then, in the Theme Options Page (“WPElegance2Col options”), check the option “Display medium sized image for Featured Posts”.
In the Post Write Panel, you will find a “WP Elegance Theme” widget.You may specify the the Thumbnail URL and the Featured image URL here.If these are specified then they will be used.
You can easily change top header banner by replacing banner.jpg file under Images folder (in the theme) with your own banner. But name your banner as banner.jpg
or
go to the stylesheet (style.css) in the theme folder, search for #head-bottom section and replace banner.jpg under background property with your banner name.

Open header.php file and search for “wp_list_categories”. The category ids to be included in the Category bar are specified as arguments to this function.You may specify the category ids for the categories that you want to be included in the category bar.But make sure that there are only as many category ids as may fit within the category bar.

It is very simple.Take a backup of sidebar.php. Open sidebar.php and check how the existing tabs like category, recent, popular and videos have been added to #sidebar-tabs div. Add your tab content and title it in a similar fashion. Note that the video tab has been commented out, to serve as a guide.

Simply create pages and specify the hierarchy (Parent Page) via WordPress admin interface. WP Elegance2Col takes care of creating the sub menus. WP Elegance2Col can support even 4 levels of sub menus.
The video tab is commented out in the code (sidebar.php). First uncomment the code. If you want to embed your own videos , make sure its width is not more than 300px and set the height correspondingly, in your embed code. Replace the current embed code. You can always remove video tab, if your niche does not require it.
Open sidebar.php and there are provisions for a 300×250 ad and a 120×600 ad in the form of images.Replace them with your corresponding ad scripts.
If footer is disabled, then the widgetized footer section will not displayed. However the theme is smart enough to retain your blog’s Copyright section.
