First, We'd like to thank you for downloading this theme, and we hope you enjoy it.
Thank us for our work! Please digg wave now!Installation
Installation is fairly simple. It is much like you'd install any other Wordpress theme.- Extract the wave zip to a folder somewhere on your desktop.
- Inside the wave folder on you're desktop is where you found this readme. You'll also notice another "wave" folder. Upload that wave folder as is to ..."wp-content/themes/".
Setting up NOTEWORTHY
Setting up the noteworthy feature is very simple. Simply create a category called "Noteworthy". Wow, that was hard. Next, you'll have to go to Manage > Categories to get the ID of your Noteworthy category. Take note of this number, and now, open index.php. Just a few lines down you'll notice some commented out code telling you to refer to the documentation for instructions on setting up noteworthy feature. Well good news, you're already there. Find this line of code under it:<?php if (in_category('2')) continue; ?>
Notice the "2"? Change the two to whatever number your Noteworthy categories' ID was. This will stop the noteworthy posts from being included twice on the front page.
Finally, (and this is optional), open up beach.php. About 3-4 lines down, you'll see some code like this:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=noteworthy&showposts=7');
If you want to change the number of noteworthy posts being shown, simple change the number "7" to whatever you want & save.
