Justread Documentation
Looking to set up your site using Justread? This document will walk you through the process.
#Installation
We have written a very detailed guide on how to download and install a WordPress theme, please follow the instruction in that article.
IMPORTANT:
In order to make the theme works properly, you need to install the Jetpack plugin. Simply go to the Dashboard → Plugins → Add New. The plugin will appear in the list below, click Install Now button to install it.
After activating Jetpack, you need to connect to WordPress.com to use it (it requires you to create an account on wordpress.com - which is free). If you don't want to create an account on wordpress.com, you can enable the Jetpack development mode.
#Import demo
Download the exported content, then unzip it. Then go to WordPress Dashboard → Tools → Import and run the WordPress importer.
#Header Setup
#Custom Logo
The theme displays site title and tagline by default. You can also display a custom logo, and optionally hide the site title and tagline.
To add a logo, go to Customize → Site Identity and upload a logo.
