01highlights_text
To set the highlight categories open the wpn_config.php file found in the theme's
root directory and edit the 3 category IDs for under highlights_category_id_1,
highlights_category_id_2 and highlights_category_id_3.
Note: In some of our themes that have text excerpts in the highlights, you can use the custom field highlights_text to set the text that appears.
- 02How do I add a photo to my users' profiles? Sign up at http://www.gravatar.com with the email address that you've associated in your blog with your user account, and upload your image to gravatar.com. After you've done that your gravatar.com image will appear whenever you post on your own blog. This photo will also appear when you post comments on other Wordpress blogs (if you use that email address in the mail field of the comment form).

03How Do I Add Images to the Featured Posts Section?
To setup the featured posts section you need to add the following to the custom fields on your post page:
Names: thumbnail and featured_thumbnail
Values: the URL to those images
You can use the WP Post Thumbnail Plugin to create the specific image sizes and insert their URL in to the Custom Fields automatically. Click here to view a tutorial on using the WP Post Thumbnail plugin. You can also insert the information manually by uploading each image size to your Media Gallery and pasting the URL into the Custom Fields. For image sizes, please see the Common Image Dimensions FAQ for your particular theme.

Find the file you wish to remove in the “editable” folder. Clear the code out of each file you wish to delete and re-upload the empty file to your server.
Important: Do not delete the files completely!
Please Note: In our most recent themes we include a sidebar advertisement widget so you can move it around to your liking, if you want to get rid of it just remove the widget.

08How do I replace the default advertisements?
Navigate to your theme's directory inside wp-content/themes/. Once there, you will notice a folder named “editable/ads”. This folder is the home to the standard advertisements. Each file has HTML comments guiding you through the process.
Please Note: In our newer themes, as well as older themes that have the theme options panel, all advertisement code is handled through the theme options panel. Just paste your code into the ad spot specified and click save.

09How do I replace the default logo?
Simply overwrite the existing logo found under “wp-content/themes/YOUR THEME/img/logo-trans.png”. If you would like to find guideline dimensions, right click the current logo in your browser then select “Properties”.
Please Note: For some of our themes that have multiple colors, the logo files are placed in the color folder inside the img folder. For example, in Huex, the blue logo is located in img/blue/logo.png, etc.
