Algori Blogger Documentation

T he Documentation below assumes that you have already downloaded the Algori Blogger WordPress theme from GitHub or the official WordPress theme repository into your website and activated it.

Algori Blogger's theme design highlights the new animated Hero Image (Header Image) that appears only on the front-page layout with a call to action. The Algori Blogger theme can be customized further using its header-text color options, adding a site logo, header menu, footer menu, various post types and widgets.

Hero Image (Header Image)

Algori Blogger supports the animated Header Image which you can modify on your site by navigating to “Appearance > Customize > Header Image”.

When you upload your Hero Image, you will be presented with an option to crop which you may use or highlight your entire image if you don't want to crop it. Please note that lighter image file sizes will help make sure your site is loaded faster and your mobile subscriber's bandwidth economized.

The Hero Image is used to display a large photograph at the top of your site's front-page with a call to action. It doesn't appear on any other pages on your site.

Homepage Settings (Front Page)

Algori Blogger allows you to build a striking Homepage (front page) comprised of content from different pages and posts on your site. Each page’s or post's featured image is highlighted, displayed at full content size and with a fixed position.

For the best appearance, make sure each post includes a featured image, and some content.

Once you've finished adding pages or posts to the Static Front page, click Save & Publish.
