Photo Perfect Pro

Photo Perfect Pro is a responsive photography WordPress Theme for professional photographer, photo bloggers and creative peeps. Don’t forget to add in your site URL when you post a message.

After you purchase the theme, you can download your theme from My Account page. Just for your note, some modern browser like Safari has auto zip extractor and will extract the zip file as soon as you download the zip file. In this case, open Safari and go to “Safari => Preferences” and in the “General” tab, uncheck Open “safe” files after downloading. This will stop Safari from automatically unzipping the files and then you can download the zip file.

After you download the theme, you can choose either of the approaches given below to install your theme.

You can download Themes directly to your blog by using the Add New Themes option in the Appearance sub-menu.

To add pages to the menu you need to create some pages (For e.g: “About Us” , “Contact”). After creating pages you need to add that pages to the menu as shown in this image.

To add search-form in header image you need to go to Admin Panel / Appearance / Customize / Theme Options / Header Options. In this section when you scroll down you need to check the check-box saying Show Search Form as shown in this image.

To add popular section you need to add widget to front-page.

To add widget to front-page you need to go to Admin Panel / Appearance / Widgets and do as shown in this image.

After this setup that widget as shown in below image.

You can choose posts from different category (If you have created different categories) to be displayed as popular posts.

Note: You need to have posts assigned to that category. If you select certain category and if that category doesn’t have any post then your popular setcion will be empty. To know how to create post you can refer below in Galleries Section.
