Reinform WordPress theme documentation, step 4: Theme setup

Reinform theme is set to display the latest posts on the homepage. To set your theme the same way we did in our demo, you’ll need to:

1. First, you will need to create several post categories. Categories will be used to group posts, and in the theme, we will use them in the navigation and set Featured Category Slider.
2. When you are done with creating the categories, create several posts and associate them with different categories. Make sure to set the featured image for each post. Tag desired posts with the same tag (e.g., “Featured”). We will use this tag to display those posts in the featured content slider which is displayed on the top of the homepage.
3. Create several portfolio items, as well. Be sure to set the featured images for each portfolio item.
4. Now, you’ll need to create pages where your content will be displayed – create pages About, Contact, and Moodboard. About and Contact pages are using the Default page template, while Moodboard is using the Portfolio page template. Insert a contact form into the Contact page.
5. Reinform theme is using Your latest post-reading settings, so you don’t need to change it.
6. Go to Appearance -> Menus and create a new menu. Add Home as Custom Link to your homepage, all pages, and add categories as subitems for the Categories item. Mark this menu as Primary.
7. Create another menu – Social menu. Add links to your social profiles using Custom Link. When you are done, mark this menu as Social.
8. Finally, you’ll need to tweak a few things in the Customizer. Go to Appearance -> Customize:
   1. Site Identity: Set a logo and favicon for your site.
   2. Content Options: Turn all options on.
   3. Featured content: Enter the tag that you have used for your posts (“Featured”). Please note that posts that you wish to display in the slider must have featured images.
   4. Theme Options -> Featured Category Slider: Enable the Featured Category Slider and select the post category that you wish to display in the category slider. Enter a title for the slider and number of posts that you wish to display.

Reinform WordPress theme documentation, step 7: Theme specific features

Featured Image Size and orientation

The theme detects image orientation, and depending on the image – landscape or portrait, layout of the single post page will vary.

• Landscape: Landscape image will be displayed at the top of the single post page, with post title under it.
• Portrait: Portrait image and post title will be displayed side by side. Please note that portrait images should note be huge and that you should keep their width under 800px.
• Full-width landscape image: the Featured image will be displayed at the top of the single post page but in full width. This will only apply for images with larger than 1600px and if Full width image is enabled in the Layout Settings.

The Full-width image in the content

Inserting a full-width image in the content is an awesome way to break the text and add an outstanding image. To create a full-width image in the content, simply insert an image as a media file into the content and add it to a class tk-fullsize-img. To add class to the image, switch the editor to text mode and add code like this to image class=”tk-fullsize-img”. For example, a full code for the image will be like this:
